oddschecker Verdict
SPARAN NUA may have lost her unbeaten tag when taking the bronze medal home in the Irish Oaks at the Curragh, but that was without a doubt a career-best performance. The daughter of Dawn Approach continues to go from strength to strength and can record her second success at this level, despite the sizeable drop in distance. Al Haarith justified cramped odds to get off the mark at Limerick last month and is one to keep a close eye on, while Audience is a Group 1 winner who cannot be dismissed lightly.
Prediction: 1st Sparan Nua, 2nd Al Haarith, 3rd Audience
