FormscanBy John O'Riordan - Irish 1000 Guineas sixth AZADA can make the most of this easier opportunity. The Dermot Weld-trained filly, who was making the first start of her three-year-old career, is entitled to have come on from that seasonal reappearance. Given connections decision to pitch her into a classic on just her second start, the Aga Khan-owned daughter of Siyouni is clearly held in some regard. Joseph O'Brien's Atlantic Coast filled a similar position in the 2000 Guineas but has yet to recapture his juvenile form. A very smart two-year-old, there is still time for the colt to deliver on that promise. Dundalk winner Mundi was well beaten here last time but the fact Ryan Moore remains loyal is surely significant.
