In depth

Verdict

Galtee Mist won first time out here in 2019 and has also won at Galway and the Curragh, the latest when a long way in front of Silver Service. The latter made a very encouraging comeback at Naas and is greatly respected while Sindhia was in good form at Dundalk in the autumn and should get involved. The three-year-old ELIZABETHAN improved with every run in her opening campaign culminating in a comfortable victory at Naas. a full-sister to two Group 1 winners she will need to win this if she's to take up her entry in the 1000 Guineas at the Curragh. Queenship, the only other three-year-old in the field, landed a Dundalk maiden in December and could be nicely in with her rider's claim taken into consideration.
