Verdict

Aidan O'Brien enjoyed a fine day here on Saturday with a four-timer and he appears to hold the key to this year's renewal of the Irish 1,000 Guineas. HAPPILY is the narrow preference after a good effort in the English 1,000 Guineas last time out and with the possibilty she could strip fitter for that run, she's taken to get the better of stablemates Clemmie and Could It Be Love. The latter is a fascinating contender and the forecast better ground should see her improve on a respectable effort in the French version of this race at Longchamp last time.
  1. Happily
  2. Could It Be Love
  3. Clemmie
