      Verdict

      Jessica Harrington and Joseph O'Brien dominate this with five of the six entries. The former's Punita Arora will be supported to follow her maiden success over the course and distance though FOR THE TREES may prove best of her trio. She followed her Sligo maiden victory by attempting to concede 22lb to Chrysalism in a Curragh nursery but failed by a couple of lengths. The revised weights give her an excellent chance of reversing the form with the O'Brien filly and returning to winning ways. Neither Air Force Jet nor Invincible Diva can be dismissed in a tight-looking nursery but Not Now Zeb is held by the selection.
