Verdict

Aidan O'Brien won this a year and intends to win it again with four entries. Shell House is probably the most progressive of the quartet though she's taking a big step-up in grade after landing a maiden and a handicap. BEYOND BRILLIANCE may prove best of the Ballydoyle contingent and can take this as, though she's only won twice in 13 starts, her overall form at this level is strong and she ran the race of her life behind stablemate Bracelet in the Irish Oaks. Circling was beaten two lengths in a similar race over the course and distance in June, when the favourite Edelmira was behind, and probably found 1m2f too short on her next start while the Galileo filly Roheryn has really come into her own since stepping up to this trip as she showed with a battling victory in a Leopardstown Listed contest.
