Devotion has been a disappointment this season though she has competed at a much higher level, remarks that also applies to Aaraas, who is dropping back in trip. Royal Blue Star has been going well enough to consider but Colour Of Love, who has won seven times in her career, has only ever raced once beyond 7f. LILY'S ANGEL is untried on the surface so potential punters will be taking a chance she acts but her overall form, including when landing the September Handicap at Leopardstown last time, should give her the edge.
