Verdict

British-raider ALWAYSANDFOREVER from the Luca Cumani-yard found Lah Ti Dar too hot to handle at York last time out but can land the spoils here in a much weaker Listed event here. Stiff competition should come from the talented filly Princess Yaiza who has been running well in defeat of late and Dynabee from the Joseph O'Brien yard. The race will come as a big test to Ballet Shoes who was only beaten 2¾L in the Group 3 Snow Fairy fillies stakes at Leopardstown in May and Romiyna last seen in the Group 1 Irish Oaks in July.
  1. Alwaysandforever
  2. Princess Yaiza
