Verdict
China Eyes and MOST BEAUTIFUL made their debuts at Naas last month in the race won by Madame Thunder. The former led for most of the way until fading close home but the latter made good late headway after being outpaced so is handed the vote. Gealan showed the benefit of her opening run with a fine effort in a better race on heavy ground at the Curragh and would be a threat to all if more rain arrives. Jealous Beauty started favourite in a four-runner affair over the course and distance last month but had no answer to Athas An Bhean, who ran quite well in a Listed contest at York last week. Michael Halford trains Gift Wrap for Godolphin and she has enough pace in her pedigree to be of interest.
