Verdict
John Oxx has won this four times in eight years so O' Bella Ballerina will make a bold bid to make it five. Her recent Roscommon conqueror Leo Gali runs in a Listed race earlier in the evening and will provide pointers to her chances. She holds the consistent Valbucca on that Roscommon run while Make Me A Star will need to improve to get involved. ASKEW has only run once when mid-division behind Alsalwa over a mile at Naas last month. She is a half-sister to Wednesday's Group 1 Prince Of Wales's Stakes winner Byword and would be worth a fortune at the paddocks with a victory under her belt.
