Verdict

Ger Lyons won this valuable prize with a Juddmonte-owned filly last year and is taken to repeat the dose with APRICOT TWIST who looked a very good prospect when hacking up in a C&D maiden last month. Badb brings Group form to the table and looks sure to play a prominent role. Victoria Road, who represents Ballydoyle, and Joseph O'Brien pair All Things Nice and Montesilvano also make the shortlist.

  1. APRICOT TWIST (IRE)
  2. BADB (IRE)
  3. VICTORIA ROAD (IRE)
