Yielding to Soft CHANGED to yielding after 3rd race View all races

Formscan By Gary Carson - LAYFAYETTE takes a drop in grade here and can prove the class act. The former Group 2 winner has kept good company this season and ran well, despite not troubling the front pair, when fourth behind Luxembourg in the Group 1 Tattersalls Gold Cup at the Curragh last time. A little cut in the ground suits him well and he does stay this trip, having won a listed race in good style at Roscommon over a mile-and-a-half a couple of years ago. Ottilien was a touch disappointing on her first outing for Joseph O'Brien but ran much better when third to Mashhoor at this level at the Curragh late last month. She could be a danger now. Stablemate Perfect Portrait comes here after winning a maiden at Gowran but is a nice sort and could be the potential improver in the field.
