Eight of this field, including four of Aidan O'Brien's, ran in a similar race at Naas on Sunday with Damselfly and COULD IT BE LOVE occupying the places and Vivianite in fourth. Most Gifted never got the run of the race in sixth and can get much closer but Beach Wedding, Ciao, Dramatically and Snowflakes were behind with the latter disappointing and probably needing further. Jockey bookings are unlikely to provide clues but the third, the Irish 1000 Guineas runner-up, was finishing fastest of all and can come out best this time. Michael Halford also has four entries with Vivianite possibly the best of them.
