Verdict
A competitive renewal of this Group 3 which was won by Princess Child when run at Tipperary last year. Although below-par recently, any easing in the ground would enhance her prospects of a repeat victory. Preference is for MAGNY COURS, who was down the field when last seen in the Irish 1,000 Guineas, but was previously seen in a much better light when second to subsequent 1000 Guineas winner True Love in a Group 3 over this trip at Leopardstown in April. Pivotal Attack was a place behind the selection on that occasion and comes here after a Listed win at Galway. Catalina Delcarpio disappointed at Royal Ascot, but had previously won a Listed contest at Leopardstown.
