Aidan O’Brien seems to be in great form at the moment so Saxon Warrior filly Water Nymph would have to be respected but given her connections she will likely be sent off a very short price. There is value in opposing here and the angle I’m going with is OPERATIC ARTIST improving. She was an eye-catcher without seriously threatening when fifth on debut at Down Royal and if she steps forward she should have a big say here.

She was only beaten three and a half lengths and struck me as a horse that would be a lot more streetwise next time out. Water Nymph is an obvious threat if improving from her debut run but Gleneagles filly Drummin Life also has to be noted. She improved from her debut to finish third at Thurles last time and with more to come she should also be in the mix here. Given the owner Jeaniemacaroney also needs a market check on debut.
