FormscanBy Gary Carson - The classy OCEAN QUEST is the one to beat here on her return to action. The Sioux Nation filly had a really good first half of the season last term before a couple of disappointing efforts at the back-end. She was impressive in Listed company first time up at Naas and ran a cracker to finish fourth in the Commonwealth Cup at Royal Ascot before adding a Group 3 contest at Naas to her CV. She sets a high standard here. Joseph O'Brien tends to do well with acquisitions from other yards and Fast Response is an interesting addition. She was a Listed winner in this kind of ground in October 2022 and was consistent in stakes company last season. You Send Me hasn't been seen since finishing sixth in the Irish 1,000 Guineas last May. She had been narrowly denied in Group 3 company prior to that and is a smart sort but this drop in trip is a bit of an unknown.
