Formscan By Michael Graham - A mouthwatering clash between COMPOSING and unbeaten Venetian Sun with preference for the former. Aidan O'Brien's charge is proven over 7f and is on a four-timer after victories in a maiden and a Group 2 over course and distance that sandwiched a Group 3 in Leopardstown. Slower ground shouldn't inconvenience her as her dam was very proficient on testing ground. Venetian Sun is the highest-rated horse on 113 after four wins culminating in a Group One at Deauville. She is a massive player, and her trainer won this race two years ago, but she is trying a new trip. Composing's stablemate, Beautify, took a notable scalp when victorious in a Group 2 over 6f at this racetrack and has plenty of upside.
