Verdict
Ger Lyons has a good record in this and Amazing Show will improve for her run at Naas where she was impeded at the start. A MOMENT LIKE THIS, by Galileo out of a USA champion filly, also missed the break at Leopardstown and will be expected to do much better. She's owned by Coolmore as is St Kitts, who never got into contention at the Curragh but can be expected to improve markedly. Blanc De Noir gave trouble in the stalls at Fairyhouse so did very well to finish a close fourth while Gan Teorainn, a son of Saxon Warrior, is a half-sister to eight winners.
