Words has the usual string of fancy entries associated with one from her yard but hasn't raced since making a winning start at the Curragh almost a year ago. CARLA BIANCA looks a safer bet as she has a comeback run under her belt and showed progressive form last season, culminating in a Group 3 victory at the Curragh. Dermot Weld has won three of the last six renewals and his four-year-old filly is preferred to Roheryn, who found another Weld filly in Tarfasha too good in a Group 2 race in September. Maid Of The Glens has plenty on her plate on these terms.
