Verdict

Aidan O'Brien's Frankel filly GISELLE made a very promising start when runner-up at Leopardstown in June and can return in style here. Stablemates Eternal Spirit and Mariinsky Theatre both make plenty of appeal on paper and can chase home the selection in that order. Edge of Seventeen completes the shortlist.

  1. GISELLE (IRE)
  2. ETERNAL SPIRIT (IRE)
  3. MARIINSKY THEATRE (IRE)
