Verdict

John Oxx's record in this race is exceptional and ZAREBIYA looks another obvious contender. This looks a stronger renewal than last year but this Galileo filly has scope for plenty of improvement and she has already been placed in a Group Three at Cork. With Fran Berry on the sidelines Jamie Spencer takes over in the saddle and a bold bid is expected on ideal ground. Eldalil and Ceilidh House both drop markedly in grade but neither has been at their best behind Snow Fairy and each has something to prove, a comment that doesn't apply to the game and consistent Honimiere for all that she lacks the class of some of her rivals. A bog would suit the grand mare Ella, Copperbeech should fare better with a recent run here under her belt, whilst Sense Of Purpose needs to improve for the first-time visor.
