FRIENDSHIP is by Galileo out of a Lancashire Oaks winner so it's a surprise that she has been showing speed over 7f. Her close second to subsequent Group winner Exogenesis on this track was a very good run and though beaten by Mustajeeb at Galway time will probably tell he was taking on a useful rival. Corona Borealis made an encouraging debut in what looked a strong maiden at the Curragh won by Renaissance Art and will have come on for the experience while that winner's trainer, Jim Bolger, introduces the Teofilo filly Sar Oiche, who is related to numerous winners.
