Willie McCreery quickly reaches for blinkers for La Tendresse after she finished last on her debut at the Curragh. BEBHINN, who finished runner-up after being collared close home in that race, will have come on for the run and the better ground can enable her to go one better. She's up against some superbly-bred fillies here including Californiadreaming, who is related to five winners, and Know, whose dam won at Group 1 level in the USA. Rich Jade will be suited by further in time but anything her yard runs at present has to be respected, a remark that also applies to Special Focus, a half-sister to a winning miler.
