Verdict

NICEST is bred in the purple and looked well above average when scoring on debut at Leopardstown 5 weeks ago, having to pick her way through and staying on to lead near the line. She's worth her place at this higher level and earns the vote. Meala, who was far from disgraced in a Group 2 last time, and Emaniya head up the dangers.

  1. NICEST (IRE)
