It’s worth having a couple of goes in this and I’ll have one with a higher and lower draw. You can easily make a case for Over The Blues with Oisin Murphy on board. She won a few runs back at Naas and she can go close from stall 25. Torivega for David Egan and Sheila Lavery is another worth keeping on side after his third at the Curragh last month.

 

This could revolve around the Irish Oaks form. Purple Lily was third behind You Got To Me, while Elizabeth Jane was fourth and Caught U Looking was fifth. Purple Lily is dropping back to 10f and I can see her holding the form on her reopposing rivals.

Lake Victoria improved a lot from her first run when winning the Group 3 Sweet Solera at Newmarket last time out. I’m expecting Bedtime Story to win for Ryan Moore but Aidan O’Brien’s other runner Lake Victoria could give him something to think about!

 

Believing is drawn in stall one on the far side whereas Bradsell is in stall 14. The race will depend on what the horses in the middle do so it could set up perfectly for Hollie Doyle and Archie Watson. Bradsell could be the percentage pick but I wouldn’t be surprised to see Believing win.

Henri Matisse is the one to beat. He’s won all three of his runs at the Curragh this year and Ryan Moore will give himself plenty to aim at with a late delivery in mind. He could give him a similar to Bedtime Story.

The best horse in the race is Kyprios. I can’t believe he’s only rated 5lbs ahead of Vauban. I can’t go against him and I’m not sure on the form of the German runners in the race. It’s Kyprios for me as he looks for a five timer.

No Such Thing finished second at the Curragh on his debut and he’s been gelded since. He can go close for Colin Keane and Ger Lyons.

Wigmore Street appeared out of nowhere to win at the Curragh last time out. Going up in trip will really suit him. He’s gone up 7lbs in the weights but the extra distance will counteract that. Ryan Moore will be happy he’s stayed for the final race on the card!
