Race preview
EZIYRA took advantage of a drop in class, after finishing third behind Enable in the Irish Oaks, with two successes at this level over 1m4f at Cork in August and here on Irish Champions Weekend when taking the Enterprise Stakes in good style. The daughter of Teofilo is likely to have more to offer as a four-year-old and she can account for Yucatan and Stellar Mass, who met over 1m2f at the Curragh last month when the former got the better of the latter sporting first-time blinkers.
