In depth

Verdict

Aidan O'Brien has no less than five entered here and it's very difficult to pick between them though Beyond Brilliance did better than her stablemates Just Gorgeous and Shell House in a Curragh Group 3 last time and could prove the pick. Tarana is penalised for her Listed race success in April but has been racing in better company so should get competitive but Ebeyina has been unable to add to her very easy debut victory at Cork which came on heavy going. ALTESSE (NAP) came in for much praise after her debut victory over the odds-on Fastnet Mist at Killarney and looks set to go on to bigger things. She's taking on stronger opposition here though many of them have become disappointing and she can remain unbeaten.
