Verdict

Joseph O'Brien has won 3 of the last 5 runnings so the eye is drawn to his French recruit YULIA, with confidence in her chance increased should the betting vibes prove strong. Narlita has shaped well in 2 warm handicaps at the Curragh this spring and is feared most ahead of Electric Beauty.
