Most recent winners of this have been well supported. It's a surprise that Miss Katie Mae hasn't won yet as she's produced some excellent performances and could have landed a Group 3 here last month but for being impeded. She's stepping up to this trip for the first time but her overall form should be good enough to get her into the frame again. However, HOW HIGH THE MOON was mightily impressive when scoring here three weeks ago and she's in all the major races so is taken to remain unbeaten. Bridgets Fable beat much better fancied rivals at Tipperary and can only improve while Leafy Shade followed a successful debut over 6f here with a fine run behind Ballydoyle in the Group 2 Debutante Stakes over an extra furlong on the track.
