Three-year-olds have done well in this so MOST BEAUTIFUL, who has already won at Group 3 level and was just touched off in that grade at Fairyhouse last weekend, will take some beating. Vitello finished last of three on her reappearance but wasn't beaten far and ran well when tackling this grade at Fairyhouse in September. Juliette Fair finished in front of her in that latter event but she's been a big disappointment in both starts this season. David Evans sends Buying Trouble over from Wales and she ran very well in a Listed contest over the minimum at Ayr. Fort Del Oro has won Listed contests here and at the Curragh and her latest defeats have come when tackling Group company. She's very speedy and looks the main danger to the younger brigade.
