Race preview
Tahiyra sets the standard based on her impressive defeat of Meditate in the Moyglare at the Curragh last September and that filly is her main market rival here. That said, it would be no surprise if she proved to be at her best later in the year and marginal preference is for MAMMAS GIRL. Richard Hannon's filly created a big impression when taking the Nell Gwyn over 7f here last month and the way she finished that day suggests that the extra distance should not be a problem. Remarquee also won her trial well, as the final winning margin of a neck is not an accurate reflection of her superiority on that occasion. Others to note are Dream Of Love, Lezoo and Powerdress.
