FormscanBy Michael Graham - GIULIANA sets the standard with a mark of 87 and ought to go close. She has a very notable piece of form in the book when beaten just over four lengths into fifth by subsequent Group One winner Joan Of Arc in a fillies' maiden at the Curragh in March. She should find this company easier than when unplaced in a Listed race at Listowel last week. Plume Noire was a more than respectable second on debut at Punchestown. This Harzand filly was supported from 66/1 in the morning down to 18/1 on the off and showed up well without troubling the winner. The horse that beat her looks useful. Royal Blend has been off for the guts of a year, however, her runner-up finishes in Leopardstown and Galway and close fifth in a Listed race at Tipperary merit plenty of respect. Her stablemate Roaring Water was second in a Dundalk barrier trial and those prep races are proving fruitful for when horses go to the track.
