    Verdict

    Cuff looks a worthy favourite here after keeping on well to land a Listed race over this trip at Naas when well ahead of Melesina but there are plenty of less-exposed dangers. Create A Dream made all over 5f here in April on her debut and will be up with the pace, though could face a battle for the lead from impressive Goodwood winner Romantic View. A fast gallop would play into the hands of Oh Grace, who bounded clear over an extra furlong at Leopardstown but is already having her fifth start. Perfect Madge looked ready for an extra furlong when third at York and could surprise a few but KILMAH surpassed expectations when scoring at Newmarket as she was expected to need the experience. She's in the Moyglare Stud Stakes in September and will have to go close here to justify that entry.
