Oaks winner, form franked by runner-up Whirl, looks a cut above these rivals
7 (3)	Wemightakedlongway Brown J:Dylan Browne McMonagle T:Joseph Patrick O'Brien	J:Dylan Browne McMonagle T:Joseph Patrick O'Brien	128	—	3-5144	111	123	103	21d	—	—	+5	22.6	1.13/1	9/2 18%
The only filly to beat Minnie Hauk but now looks well held by that rival on Epsom running
3 (7)	Island Hopping Bay J:Wayne Lordan T:A P O'Brien	J:Wayne Lordan T:A P O'Brien	128	p	5-3305	96	108	83	10d	—	—	+9	12.5	8.25/1	33/1 3%
Held by Wemightakedlongway on running at Navan, appeared not to stay 1m6f on latest
6 (6)	Subsonic Bay J:Ben Coen T:J P Murtagh	J:Ben Coen T:J P Murtagh	128	t	2-6	-	95	77	82d	—	—	+1	4.3	10.00/1	40/1 2%
Promising second to Minnie Hauk on only start at two, disappointed at Naas in April
4 (2)	Merrily Bay J:Declan McDonogh T:A P O'Brien	J:Declan McDonogh T:A P O'Brien	128	—	51-900	99	117	82	34d	—	—	+10	13	12.50/1	50/1 2%
Group 3 winner at two, no sign she has trained on satisfactorily, twice a Classic also-ran
2 (4)	Butterfly Wings Bay J:Ronan Whelan T:A P O'Brien	J:Ronan Whelan T:A P O'Brien	128	t	-41787	83	104	85	24d	—	—	+10	11.6	25.00/1	100/1 1%
Maiden winner, has struggled since stepping up in class, the weakest of yard's quartet
1 (5)	Bay Colony Chestnut J:Seamie Heffernan T:J A Stack	J:Seamie Heffernan T:J A Stack	128	p	45-317	85	94	73	44d	—	—	+8	8.9	50.00/1	200/1 0%
Limitations evident in a 1m4f Listed race at Leopardstown, out of her depth.
