Aidan O'Brien originally had a quartet of entries but relies on Flvia Tatiana, who has shown enough ability in both starts to date to warrant respect. She was staying on nicely over Listowel's 6f last week and this trip will suit. Emerald Ring is the only entry with experience of the surface and she ran arguably her best race when a close second to Peahen over the C&D last month. She didn't handle the testing ground at Roscommon last time and should do better though her trainer is also represented by two superbly-bred youngsters in Compelling and Secret Story. JOLIE JICONDE is comfortably the form pick and should take this though there are some choicely-bred newcomers to contend with. Edward Lynam's filly, by Marju out of a juvenile Listed winner, has progressed with each run and by no means appeared out of her depth when third to Zoffany in a Group 3 at Leopardstown in July. Jim Bolger is represented by the Galileo filly Ciste Naisiunta, who is out of a 7f winner, while the John Oxx-trained Haziyna is out of a Group 3 winner and is another to keep an eye on.
