Verdict
This hasn't been the best of trials for the fillies' classic but Dermot Weld has an excellent record in the race and STORMFLY looks like starting a short-priced favourite after her comfortable victory over Devonshire in a similar race over 7f here last month and should win - fourth-placed Legatissimo certainly enhanced the form at Newmarket. Devonshire will strip fitter this time and can get closer but the Ballydoyle pair Kissed By Angels and Terracotta don't have Group 3 form to bring to the table. Jim Bolger is adept at bringing horses out quickly and does it again with Stellar Glow, who found conditions too testing at the Curragh on Monday and looks certain to do better.
