Thunder Roll (4/6), Starry Eyed (3/1), Harsh (5/1), Sumiha (13/2), Tommy Thug (11/1), Earth Dance (16/1), Shrewsbury Road (22/1), Dubawi Delight (25/1), Spitfire Fighter (80/1), King Of Wessex (125/1), Gujarat (150/1), My Boy Teddy (150/1), Rushour Rains (200/1)

Verdict

Having stayed on nicely to be third in the Munster Oaks at Cork last time, THUNDER ROLL appears to face a straightforward task as she bids to open her account. Starry Eyed is the likeliest to capitalise if the selection fluffs her lines and Sumiha appeals as an interesting newcomer.

  1. THUNDER ROLL (IRE)
  2. STARRY EYED (IRE)
  3. SUMIHA (IRE)
