Verdict
Aristocratic was third on the July course here on her debut and should go well with Ryan Moore taking over the reins. Ballydoyle filly Seventh Heaven could only manage a modest seventh at Leopardstown but will likely improve and the former pair are both are preferred to Robbie Roo Roo and Artsy of those with experience. But this can go to a newcomer with AL KIRANA, a half-sister to a Group 3 winner and an early entry for next year's 1000 Guineas, getting the vote ahead of First Victory. The latter is related to Group 2 winner Ihtimal while Harikiri is another to note on her debut.
