Form & Verdict
Brother to Irish Derby/St Leger winner Capri made winning debut here last summer on good ground; much softer conditions in Group company both starts since, too keen at the Curragh and on seasonal comeback in 1m2f Derby Trial here last month faded tamely final furlong; entitled to come on for that and return to quicker ground may suit.

Form & Verdict
Justify filly is a granddaughter of Oaks/Irish 1,000 Guineas winner Imagine; definite debut promise at Dundalk in April, would have gone very close but for being badly hampered by winner in 1m2f maiden; probably open to any amount of improvement.

Dual 1m4f Listed winner on soft; best form with cheekpieces enlisted for last two outings, making the frame in Group 3 at Leopardstown (1m4f, good; just in front of Sumiha) and Group 1 Royallieu at Longchamp (1m6f, soft; one and a half lengths behind Grateful); needs to find extra.

Form & Verdict
Juvenile form was solid but not especially progressive; off the mark on seasonal return given greater stamina test in 1m4f handicap here last month in testing conditions, getting up on post (after rider lost irons) to beat a subsequent disqualified Group 3 winner; back in trip with contrasting ground conditions but no surprise if she ran well.

Only win in ten came in a 1m4f handicap on reappearance but it's been Listed/Group races since then and ran as well as she was entitled to behind the classy Emily Dickinson over 1m6f last time at the Curragh (soft); assured stamina should come in very handy and probably the one to beat.

Form & Verdict
Much improved this spring with step up in trip, winning Tipperary maiden over this trip before impressive in Naas rated contest over 1m2f, travelling strongly to lead some way out and going clear (eased and value for more than 10l margin); well worthy of this step up in grade and should go well if handling this fast ground.

Much improved this spring with step up in trip, winning Tipperary maiden and bolted home in Naas rated contest over 1m2f; quite tame effort however in Leopardstown Listed over this trip last time after setting a steady pace; return to easier ground should suit but questions to answer at this level now.

Placed over this trip on Leopardstown reappearance and then forged clear in the straight to win five-runner maiden over extended 1m4f at Tipperary; mark unchanged for that but could be done for toe back in trip.
