Verdict
Aidan O'Brien and Dermot Weld have won 10 of the last dozen between them. The latter is represented by the newcomer Azada, a half-sister to a Group 1 winner in Australia while Ballydoyle have two engaged. Flight Of Fancy was very green on testing ground at Cork while Gushing was keeping on over a mile at Thurles. But the latter finished behind HARBOUR GEM, who ran a fine race in third and the runner-up scored at Gowran on Tuesday. The in-form Jessica Harrington also has two entries with Fleur De Chine catching the eye at Naas in a race that has worked out well and she is certain to have come on for the experience. Michael O'Callaghan has some nice two-year-olds and Ocean Diamond is the first foal of a mare who won over this trip as a two-year-old.
