Verdict
Teoirim's head second to Count Of Limonade at Killarney was a cracking effort but she's never come close to a repeat. HARPIST made a fine start to her career at Leopardstown in September, really catching the eye behind Big Break, and is handed the vote to make a successful reappearance. Sister Slew should be winning a handicap before long while Dermot Weld's newcomer Sleeping Beauty is one to note being out of the Irish 1000 Guineas winner Nightime. Aidan O'Brien had four entered at the early stage and relies on Il Palazzo, who will improve for last season's moderate opener, and the newcomer Nymph, a daughter of Galileo.
