Verdict

John Oxx is triple-handed here but the stable pick looks to be ZAREBIYA and it's not difficult to see why. A beautifully-bred daughter of Galileo, she is entered in the Yorkshire Oaks and Irish Leger and made a very impressive debut at Leopardstown. She's Our Mark is ultra-consistent at this level and will make her presence felt while Sense Of Purpose and Karasiyra fought out a tremendous battle at Roscommon and will not be easily dismissed.
