oddschecker Verdict
Things never went to plan for Gilded Prize in the Prix Saint-Alary and it wouldn't be a surprise if she bounced back to form here. Nevertheless, Colin Keane gets off her to ride Oaks runner-up LEGACY LINK and she looks the way to go assuming that effort just 13 days ago hasn't left a mark. John & Thady Gosden's filly travelled really well into contention at Epsom and just bumped into a really impressive Thundering On. The latter's trainer Joseph O'Brien should therefore know where he stands with Leopardstown maiden winner Johanna Walsh and it will be interesting if the money comes for her, while Earth Shot lost nothing in defeat in the Height Of Fashion at Goodwood and should also be taken seriously.
Prediction: 1st Legacy Link, 2nd Gilded Prize, 3rd Earth Shot
