A wide open Group 3 and it could pay to side with Joseph O'Brien's PRINCESS CHILD who recorded a fast time when landing a big-field Galway handicap. Meld Stakes victor Snellen has the form to play a part and heads the list of dangers, with Copacabana Sands, Queen of Thunder and Celestial Orbit also in the picture.
