Verdict
OPERA SINGER was the stable second string when only eighth behind the Ryan Moore-ridden Ylang Ylang at the Curragh but will have learnt plenty from that experience. She'll be expected to finish in front of stablemate Andromeda though the daughter of Galileo is a full-sister to the Irish 1000 Guineas winner Peaceful and other winners. Improvista is a very expensive daughter of Frankel out of a winning miler while Kalispera is related to a couple of winners and is in the Moyglare. Still Rolling should be ideally suited by the trip but Enthralling was behind the selection at the Curragh.
