Verdict
Neither of the Ballydoyle entries, Erin and Queen Iseult, have shown much though both are likely to be suited by the step-up in trip, especially the latter, a half-sister to six winners. With her stable in superb form, Bit Of Banter can improve on her run at Navan but a couple of well-connected fillies catch the eye on their debuts. PARK BLOOM is by Galileo and a full-sister to the Oaks winner Was and related to numerous other winners. She may just prove better at this stage than the stoutly-bred Romiyna, a daughter of Nathaniel out of a Lammtarra mare.
