Verdict

Dermot Weld has won two of the three renewals including with subsequent Group 3 winner Carla Bianca last year. He runs VARIABLE today and she landed the odds in good style at Cork last time and looks ready to step up to this level. Aidan O'Brien won the 2013 renewal with subsequent Irish Oaks runner-up Venus De Milo and is represented by Outstanding and Easter. The latter beat Stellar Glow a length at Leopardstown in October and Seamie Heffernan's mount should go close. The progressive Rivers Of Babylon takes on better company after winning at Navan but Wooden Heart was only beaten a couple of lengths in Listed company last time. Athassel, however, looks to have a stiff task.
