Verdict

MORNING RUN puts her unbeaten record on the line but she's already won twice at this level, including on ground with plenty of give, and can make it seven out of seven. Her main threat could come from stable companion Whiteout, who will be receiving 6lb and is race-fit having landed a Listed contest at Punchestown last month. She's also been placed in a Grade 2 and Jacques Ricou has been brought over to ride her. Rock On The Moor was in with a chance when falling in the race won by the selection at Fairyhouse in January and her two latest defeats came at the very highest level. Miss Dinamic has been chasing but wasn't far behind Whiteout at Bellewstown in August.
