Verdict

A trappy Group 3 to unpick as a number arrive unexposed and open to improvement. Moreover, Joseph O'Brien blurs the picture further by running no less than four of the seven and therefore an element of caution is advised. The juvenile form of Tranquil Lady rates the best of his quartet and she made a solid reappearance when fourth in the Listed Salsabil Stakes at Navan. Stablemate TOSEN LYDIA is a feasible alternative though after confirming the promise of her sole juvenile start when maintaining her unbeaten record here in March and could well handle this step-up in grade. Eclat De Lumiere and Lily Pond both made pleasing winning debuts and could well come forward sufficiently to play a leading role in a difficult race to evaluate.
