Verdict
This hasn't been a great race for Ballydoyle in the past but TOY is the clear pick on official ratings and three-year-olds usually win this. Runner-up in the Irish Oaks, she disappointed in Germany next time but can get back on the winning trail. Sunset Shiraz was in excellent form at this time a year ago but didn't reappear until well beaten in the Group 2 Blandford Stakes at the Curragh last month. Expect her to do better while Beautiful Sunshine may prove best of the remainder of the younger brigade. Maristella is improving fast and deserves a crack at this grade while Mehnah, who has only had three starts and won a Listed race when last seen last summer, shouldn't be inconvenienced by a long absence as she won first time out in 2020. Neptune Rock was engaged in the 4.20 at Leopardstown yesterday.
