FormscanBy John O'Riordan - The Dermot Weld-trained AZAZAT should appreciate this easier grade having been highly tried since winning her maiden at Leopardstown in May. To her credit, the Aga Khan-owned three-year-old has run some big races, finishing second in Group 3 class at Cork and beaten less than eight lengths in the Irish Oaks at the Curragh. On her penultimate start, the daughter of Camelot showed that she was competitive at this level when runner-up over ten furlongs. Stepping back up in trip here is certainly going to see her in a more favourable light. Gather Ye Rosebuds is one of the more unexposed contenders in the race. A winner on her debut, the UK raider found the ground too quick at York but returned to her best last time. Dancing Tango needs to step forward but could well be capable of doing so.
