Verdict
Aidan O'Brien has two entries here plus the first reserve Ark. Ryan Moore rides EMILY DICKINSON, who finished behind Red Azalea at Leopardstown but was by no means punished and can turn the tables. Zaniyka finished in front of the pair of them at Leopardstown in October and probably found soft ground against her at Gowran a couple of weeks ago. Plenty of eyes here will be on the dual Oaks entry Champagne, a daughter of Galileo out of Group 1 winner Red Evie. The pairing has already produced seven winners including the brilliant Found. Gradulations was beaten over five lengths when runner-up at Gowran but Isotta, who is related to numerous winners, is one to keep an eye on after an encouraging debut in September. Fennela, an Irish Oaks entry, is by Sea The Stars and closely related to seven winners including the top-class Lord Shanakill.
