Verdict
Ryan Moore has chosen ARK of the three Ballydoyle entries and the daughter of Galileo should make progress from her debut behind stable companion Emily Dickinson at Naas. Cherub, another Galileo filly, will have learned plenty from her run at Dundalk where she led for a long way but Kiss You Later was beaten a long way at Gowran. Alaroos found a mile too sharp at Gowran before staying on while Zaniyka appeared to find the ground too soft on the same track so wouldn’t want more rain. Antilia started favourite for the latter event but was too green to do herself justice and should be a different proposition here.
