Verdict

ALEXANDRETTA's fitness is a slight doubt after a 10-month absence but her form is comfortably in advance of her rivals, so she's taken to open her account at the third attempt, with Photon the likeliest to chase her home. Mother Mary is also worthy of respect following a mildly promising debut.

  1. ALEXANDRETTA
  2. PHOTON (IRE)
  3. MOTHER MARY (IRE)
