THINKING OF YOU came up short in a Group 3 at the Curragh though didn’t get the best of runs. She’d won in soft going at Limerick earlier and Joseph O’Brien’s filly gets another chance in this. Roger Varian has sent out two of the last three winners and Rockfel Stakes runner-up Nazuna can figure if handling the ground. She’s preferred to stablemate Setarhe while course and distance winner Saffron Beach and Shine For You are upped in class with the latter making more appeal than stable companion Thank You Next. The remainder face a tough task with Mamba Wamba perhaps best of them.
