Verdict

Skyquake, in first-time cheekpieces, and Kermiya are the two unknown quantities for Joseph O'Brien and Johnny Murtagh respectively. The latter is preferred though the Murtagh yard also field Dalliances, who has also suggested she has more to offer after not being disgraced in a trio of maiden runs. FRATAS has more proven credentials as she's landed two of her last five starts and her recent Galway success suggested that she hasn't finished improving.
