Verdict
Aidan O'Brien had plenty of entries at the five-day stage and relies on Seventh Heaven, a half-sister to the Middle Park winner Crusade and other winners. She's in all the major fillies' races and should make a bold bid though the experience of GILDED REFLECTION may prove too much for her at this stage. David Wachman's filly made her debut at the Curragh last month and caught the eye as she stayed on very strongly in the closing stages after missing the break. Juliette Fair chased home Rockaway Valley at the Curragh with a couple of subsequent winners behind and should have made enough progress to get into the frame again. Intense Stylist was a 33/1 chance at Tipperary last week but made a good impression and today's much quicker going can enable her to get closer.
