Verdict

There's plenty of depth to this maiden but CELESTIAL CROWN made an excellent start to her career when second at Cork in April and given that race worked out, improvement should be forthcoming. Madam Secretary and Hip Hop Chrissy aren't sure to be suited by this drop to 5f but are still promising in their own right.

7	Made plenty of appeal on paper and shaped encouragingly when third of 8 in maiden at Listowel on debut 3 weeks ago. Drop to 5f isn't an obvious move but she couldn't be in better hands and she'll know more this time. 2nd Pick 7 Madam Secretary (Ire) Jockey: W. M. Lordan Trainer: Aidan O'brien, Ireland J: W. M.
