Verdict

TARAWA can build on her fine fourth behind stable-companion Tahiyra in the Irish 1000 Guineas over C&D and bag this listed prize. Johnny Murtagh has won this twice since 2017 so last month's Leopardstown Group 3 third Carrytheone merits plenty of respect. Lord Massusus posted a smart effort to win a Naas handicap last time and can make his presence felt in a higher grade. Salt Lake City is another to consider.

  1. TARAWA (IRE)

  3. LORD MASSUSUS (IRE)
