FormscanBy Michael Graham - This trip really seems to suit ORIOLE. She was successful over it in Leicester and Naas for previous connections and made a bright start to life with Natalia Lupini when a close fourth in the Ulster Oaks at Down Royal. Squire Danagher has two Dundalk victories to call upon and is the highest-rated horse in the field. It'sonlyjustbegun was a never nearer fourth in a good handicap at Roscommon and Keithen Kennedy is value for his claim in these apprentice races. Razdan is capable of a big run especially after winning over flights at Downpatrick in April. Blue Soul is up in trip after delivering in Tipperary, while Explorers Way showed his fortitude in Down Royal and could be progressive.
