Aidan O'Brien has two entries here. Seamie Heffernan is on board Cartouche, who was ridden by Wayne Lordan when getting outpaced in the early stages over 7f at Dundalk before staying on nicely. Lordan is on LA JOCONDE here and the daughter of Frankel ran on strongly once getting the hang of things at Cork. Allagar has plenty of experience and is probably vulnerable to an improver though her recent form in Pattern company entitles her to the greatest respect. Boyne River was no match for High Heels at Cork but the winner looks smart and Joseph O'Brien's filly can improve again. Talacre has been showing good pace but couldn't hang on over 7f at the Curragh behind Shandra, whose trainer has a very well-connected newcomer in Eylara.
