I tend to find if I have a doubt about a selection it's usually for a good reason & I'm not too unhappy about letting Sixties Icon pass.
Red dune ran well enough but what a good run from Cheyenne Star from a poor draw & with a penalty to just be held.

Lush Lashes has 4stars.
Passage of Time & Halfway to Heaven have 3stars.
Lush Lashes loves fast ground & ran a decent race in the 1000 Guineas & then bolted up at York in the Musidora with Newmarket Listed winner Dar Re Mi & Irish Oaks winner Moonstone well behind. Favourite for the Oaks after but ground softer than the official good? & the track found her out. Cracking win back on fast in the Coronation & the trip & going perfect here.
Passage of Time is a thing of beauty & a decent racehorse too but despite the return to form LTO this is a sight tougher.
Halfway to Heaven won the Irish 1000 after a good third in the French version. That form is not as good as Lush Lashes & not sure this trip will suit.
Heaven Sent looks the best of the rest but I'd be disappointed if Lush Lashes can't see her off.
Trying not to back under 2/1 but I can't see past Jim Bolger's filly here.
Bet. Lush Lashes 100pts @ 13/8 Paddy Power.
Rio.
