Form & Verdict
Winner and Listed-placed over 7f at two; hooded when disappointing in Guineas trial over that trip on comeback; despite it being her sixth run, still looked raw when 50-1 for 1m Group 3 at the Curragh on Monday, off the bridle at halfway before making some late gains; 1m2f should suit, but not sure she'll be quick enough to cope with some of these.

3yo who was a Listed winner at Naas (10.3f, good) in May when upped in trip and went close in the Group 3 Jannah Rose Stakes there (10.3f, good) ten days ago, when 5l clear of the third; needs to prove her stamina for this new distance but she might be far away if seeing it out.

Form & Verdict
Sioux Nation filly was only a length off Ice Dancer in sole start at two; 11-10 fav when hosing up in 1m Leopardstown maiden last month, but what did she beat is the question? Still, it was impressive and connections think she'll improve for better ground; there are stayers further back in her pedigree.

J: Dylan Browne McMonagle

Won her maiden at Leopardstown by 6l (1m, yielding to soft; runner-up beaten since and now 0-4); it's unwise to suggest that her limitations were exposed in an Oaks trial over further at Naas as that race never went entirely to plan; her very low draw could be troublesome but she's one of a bucketload in here capable of better.

Winner and Group 3-placed over 1m on heavy in the autumn; forget about her run at Navan a fortnight ago (found to be showing signs of coming into season), but what was significant was that Moore picked her over 10lb higher-rated stablemate (who, admittedly, also ran poorly); pedigree implies she can improve at this trip and entered in both Oaks.

Maiden winner here and Group 3-placed over 1m on heavy in the autumn; reportedly showed signs of coming into season when 26l behind on Group 3 seasonal return at Navan (1m2f, good to yielding); few apparent excuses when 18.5l behind in a Naas Listed contest last time (10.5f, good); holds an Irish Oaks entry, but Bloom is more appealing of trainer's two; blinkers on.
