    Verdict

    UP is the only three-year-old in the race and she'll be expected to spearhead the Ballydoyle charge over the coming months by taking this. The daughter of Galileo beat stablemate Wonderful when landing a fillies' maiden over the C&D in September then ran a superb race in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies' Turf. Duchess Of Foxland, who landed a Listed contest at Galway in 2010, is a very worthy opponent as she competed at a high level throughout the last campaign and ran well without winning. Both Marvada and Royal Blue Star were involved in some decent contests last season and the latter completed an early summer double so can go well fresh.
