Verdict
Karl Burke sends Sophie's Star over from the UK but, though she's won twice, she hasn't looked up to Listed level. Impeachd Alexander made all over 6f on ground with some give at Cork, with Ladies Church around three lengths behind, and the latter boosted the form when scoring on much faster ground at Tipperary with Orinoco River just under a length back in second. PENNINE HILLS attracted strong support on her debut over 6f at Fairyhouse where she made all for a very impressive victory over Concert Hall, who went one better at the Curragh over the weekend. Joseph O'Brien's filly looks the one to beat here
