Daughter of No Nay Never has been beaten 6l over 6f last twice and 71-rated filly needs to improve plenty for going farther; taken out of a recent 1m handicap due to soft ground.

9st 3lb

J: Ryan Moore

T: A P O’Brien

Stepped forward from a disappointing debut with a 6l fourth of 10 at Cork (6f, good) last June; off since and different ground here but she's a half-sister to a heavy ground winner so could handle it; top yard has started the season well and she has to be considered with Moore up for the first time.

A 360,000euros purchase is by a leading sire but was weak in the market when well beaten over 6.5f at Listowel on debut; is surely better than that but will have to improve plenty.

360,000 Euros purchase as a yearling; daughter of No Nay Never; half-sister to winners inc National Bank (French 7f/UAE 9.6f; RPR 98) and Global Conqueror (1m inc AW; 94); dam 6f (2yo) and 7f (Group 3) winner (110); may have the ability to take this on debut.
