Verdict

AZALLYA has been given time since her below-par reappearance run in the spring. Her runner-up effort in a Naas listed last autumn suggests she can win at this level and she's taken to bounce back and provide the Dermot Weld yard with a fourth win in this since 2015. Yaxeni is a solid operator in this company and should give a good account. Once a Ralph Beckett filly gets on a roll it's hard to know where the improvement will end so recent dual handicap winner Thanks Monica is also shortlisted.

  1. AZALLYA (IRE)
  2. YAXENI (FR)
  3. THANKS MONICA (IRE)
