Verdict
This has been run three times and three-year-olds have won them all including Cimeara last year. Joseph O'Brien's filly loves the fast going and will make a bold bid for a repeat though another from the older brigade, TRUE SELF, looks the one to beat. She was odds-on to complete a four-timer at Haydock last month but found very heavy ground against her. She was conceding Jaega 3lb when beating her narrowly at this trip at Gowran in May and should also take care of Moreo on collateral form. Aidan O'Brien runs four three-year-olds with Peach Tree comfortably the pick on official ratings. She ran poorly in the Ribblesdale but her earlier narrow defeat by Who's Steph at Cork puts her in the picture on her debut over this trip.
