Verdict

An interesting handicap. The very well-bred ELIZABETHAN should have plenty more to come this year and is selected to make light of an opening mark in the low-90s on her return to action. Joseph O'Brien pair Music To My Ears and Queenship also appeal as likely having more to offer and head the dangers.

  1. ELIZABETHAN (USA)
  2. MUSIC TO MY EARS (IRE)
  3. QUEENSHIP (IRE)
