Verdict
Michael Bell sends recent Clairfontaine Listed winner Babycakes for this and she must be considered though three-year-olds have won all four of the renewals. Look At Me has been tackling Group 3 company and hasn't been disgraced though she's been looking rather one-paced, but Hurricane Havoc found 1m4f much too far at the Curragh last time and is better judged on her fair run behind Bible Belt here earlier. She finished behind both Handassa and ZAMINAST in the 1000 Guineas Trial at Leopardstown in May, however, and both of those two lightly-raced fillies have scope to do much better. The latter just gets the vote as she had beaten the shock winner of that race, Ballybracka Lady, on her debut last year so a long absence may not be too much of a problem.
