Verdict
Jessica Harrington won this in 2017 with the very useful Alpha Centauri so the speedily-bred But You Said is one to keep an eye on. Aidan O'Brien won it last year with Fairyland, whose only defeat in five came at Royal Ascot, so Flower Garland and SO WONDERFUL have something to live up to. The former is bred for much further but the latter, a daughter of War Front out of a mare who has produced winners with her first four offspring to run, should have the pace to make a successful debut. Wexford Gold is another with a cracking pedigree though the one who really catches the eye is Peace Charter, a War Front filly out of a mare who won four Grade 1 races in the USA.
