Bedtime Story and Lake Victora both arrive unbeaten ahead of the Moyglare Stakes for two-year-old fillies at The Curragh, and with Ryan Moore on the first named, you have to assume she is the better of the two.
She may well go off at a very short price here, but that may be partly down to the O’Brien factor and I will be taking a risk on British raider Simmering at a bigger price.
Ollie Sangster’s stable star was mowed down late on by Fairy Godmother at Royal Ascot, but has shown herself to be a high-class filly with two wins since, taking the Princess Margaret Stakes back at Ascot by a neck when leading close home, and impressing at Deauville with a three length win in the Prix Du Calvados when stepped up to seven furlongs.
She quickened up nicely on soft ground that day which for me is the sign of a decent animal and although no good thing here, it will be interesting to see how she gets on ahead of a possible tilt at the 1000 Guineas next year.
