Verdict

The vote goes to OPERATIC ARTIST, who shaped well when third on her handicap debut at Leopardstown and almost certainly would've finished closer than she did at Limerick last time granted better luck-in-running. She is probably capable of better than her current mark implies and the likely strong pace here is expected to work in her favour. Dabana was in good form on the AW earlier this year and is second choice ahead of Imposing Supreme and Kodiac Prince.

  1. OPERATIC ARTIST (IRE)

  3. IMPOSING SUPREME (IRE)
