Verdict

HOMELESS SONGS looked a work-in-progress as a 2-y-o and has taken sizeable strides forward in making it 2-2 this campaign, most impressive when landing the Irish 1000 Guineas at the Curragh in May. She remains the type to do better still despite a subsequent absence and gets the nod to come out on top. Prix Rothschild heroine Saffron Beach rates the danger, ahead of Pearls Galore and Tenebrism.
