In depth
Verdict
Coral Beach has been a short-priced beaten favourite on her last three starts and looks vulnerable though she hasn't been beaten far in any of her races. Vallambrosa, beaten a neck on her debut over 7f at Limerick where she was headed close home, couldn't manage the step-up to Group 3 company at the Curragh but will find this much more to her liking. Ger Lyons has some smart two-year-old fillies this season and Osmosis could be another though her pedigree suggests she'll be better over further. CHOCOLATE MUSIC went for a massive 200,000gns at the Craven Breeze-up and is closely related to several juvenile winners at this trip. She's entered in the Group 1 Moyglare and is handed a tentative vote to make a successful start.
