Form & Verdict
Smart maiden for this stable at two, made the frame on all four starts, notably when third in the Goffs Million and fourth (demoted from third) in a 1m fillies' Group 3 event; placed in three of her four starts for Brendan Walsh in the US; has returned to Joseph O'Brien, who fit a tongue-tie; some element of risk attached to her eight-race maiden status, but hard to oppose.

J: Dylan Browne McMonagle

T: Joseph Patrick O’Brien

Took step forward from her debut when beaten a head in a 16-runner Naas maiden; respected on account of her third placing behind stablemate Apples And Bananas in the Goffs Million; second has since finished second in a Group 3, though soundly beaten.

Form & Verdict
Favourite for her debut in a 17-runner maiden at the Curragh last September, broke slowly, recovered to challenge before fading late; questions to answer after a disappointing run at Leopardstown in October; heavy ground may have been against her then.

A warm order for her maiden debut at the Curragh when slow to start before recovering well but fading late; can do better with that experience under her belt.

Frankel filly and first foal out of a 1m/1m2f winner (RPR 98) and half-sister to winners Elizabeth Jane (1m2f Listed) and Federica Sophia (useful 1m2f), from the family of top-notchers Kyprios, Free Eagle and Search For A Song; lots to like on paper.

Form & Verdict
Half-sister to Group 3 winner over 1m6f Raise You and champion bumper performer A Dream To Share; showed some ability for the Kiely stable last season; perhaps more likely a handicap prospect over a bit further.

T: John E & Thomas Kiely

Half-sister to Group 3 winner over 1m6f Raise You and champion bumper performer A Dream To Share; no threat when beaten around 10l in maidens at the Curragh and Naas; likely to need further than this to prosper and appears more of a handicap project.

Verdict

Back with Joseph O’Brien with her maiden status still intact, CELTIC MOTIF could hardly have a better opportunity to open her account at the ninth attempt. The twice-raced Glittering Gem and the once-raced Acanto are the pick of the opposition. [Alan Sweetman]
