      Verdict

      Seisai finished behind Juncture when Ger Lyons' filly scored on this track but the winner already had experience and Joseph O'Brien's filly has since won nicely at Gowran so could reverse the form. The stable also run the maiden Agartha, who has been running into some smart performers and competing well. But she was almost two lengths behind PRETTIEST at Navan and the winner then ran a fine race in a strong Albany at Royal Ascot where testing conditions probably didn't suit. Sablonne finished behind Agartha when placed behind Sacred Bridge at Naas but may improve past that rival here.
