Willie Mullins has plotted the Flat campaign of TRUE SELF in exemplary fashion and the mare now steps into Group company for the first time. It would come as no surprise were she to progress again and her ability to act effectively on soft ground could well prove to be the determining factor. Klassique was close to being the selection if better ground had prevailed as she looks to be maintaining her progression from last season on the evidence of a fine comeback run, whilst there are also ground concerns about Mrs Sippy and Pilaster, both of whom boast form chances. Highgarden is of major interest on this seasonal reappearance as she was right back on track on her final start of last season when landing a Group 3 contest and is one who'll handle the testing conditions.
