Never easy when over half the field is trained by O'Briens and it's often best to wait until the markets mature. La Dolce Vita looks the best of those to have run but was beaten by an Aidan horse on both starts which gives Ballydoyle a good line to the form. Therefore, at this stage we'll go with UNLESS, a beautifully-bred filly by Justify out of Clemmie, herself a Group 1 winner for Ballydoyle. Donnacha also introduces Amusement, a daughter of Galileo and Joseph unleashes Madly Truly from the crop of potentially exciting first-season sire, Cracksman, and Thornbrook. With Sheyya and Foniska also noted on debut it's a race demanding a close watch.
