Verdict
Dilawara is an interesting entry for Joseph O'Brien after her two victories in France, the latest by eight lengths in a Longchamp handicap though on heavy ground. The stable also run Music To My Ears, who would be the one to beat if running up to the form of her head second to subsequent Group 3 winner Sonaiyla in a Curragh premier handicap last summer. Theophile looked certain to score when taking the lead inside the final furlong over 1m1f at Leopardstown but was mugged on the line by He Knows No Fear. MISS MOLLY T dropped back to an extended 5f at Navan and looked to be travelling best but couldn't quite get to Independent Missu. She's surprisingly been left on the same mark and can take advantage.
