Verdict
POWER UNDER ME, twice a winner at this level including here in October, just fails in Group company but is well up to this and looks the one to beat. He holds Measure Of Magic on his victory at Cork in April but Prisoner's Dilemma was in excellent form at Dundalk over the winter and showed improved form on Turf when beating San Andreas over this trip at Fairyhouse. Hermana Estrella was entered in a Naas Group 3 on her debut last May and gained a shock 50/1 victory. She didn't reappear until the Irish 1000 Guineas here last month where she pulled much too hard and was soon done with. She could provide the main threat though the selection's stable companion Pirate Jenny only just failed to overhaul another from the yard in Geocentric over 5f at Cork and will be suited by the extra.
