In depth
Verdict
You'resobeautiful had Punita Arora behind when runner-up at Dundalk in March, though the latter completely missed the break. Both have won subsequently with Jessica Harrington's filly successful in a similar race to this over the track and trip earlier this month when Celtic Beauty got no sort of run in sixth. TANGO is top rated based on her easy Listed victory over this trip at the Curragh on testing ground in October. She found a mile too far at the Breeders' Cup and the ground too quick on her reappearance over 7f and, with more rain forecast, should have conditions to suit. Her stable companion Precious Moments finished in front of her last time but Seamie Heffernan rides the selection while Lady Penelope has been beaten three times since stepping out of maiden company. Nurse Barbara looked a very smart prospect last season and her saddle slipped on her reappearance so she can get into contention.
