Ten Sovereigns filly; half-sister to Flat winners Fighting Irish (6f 2yo including Group 2; RPR 106), Vulcan (1m-1m2f inc AW; 96), Well Done (5f AW 2yo; 84) and One Sweet Day (6f; 83); dam unraced sister to 1m Group 1 winner Virtual; likeable pedigree and this looks like a good starting point; may be in the mix for the places in a maiden that lacks depth.

Form & Verdict
Stuck to her task well when third (beaten roughly 3l) in a fillies' maiden at Leopardstown on last year's debut and filled the same spot at Naas when last seen, possibly not appreciating the quicker ground; sets a rock solid standard on form and yard can ready one on back of an absence.

The pick of her form is a fourth in a Gowran handicap from a 13lb higher mark in June last year; her runs since then have been poor and she was last seen finishing a 32l ninth of 11 at Clonmel in May; cheeckpieces go on but they need to spark huge improvement.

Form & Verdict
Half-sister to Battaash and cost 1.8m Guineas as a yearling; showed some minor promise in Britain last year but only recorded RPRs in the 50s and she'll need a vast amount of improvement to be a factor after 212 days off; new yard.

Inexperience evident on recent debut at Beverley (5f, good to firm) when weak 9-2 chance and 5l fourth of seven; however, the penny started to drop late on and this 1.8m gns yearling, who is a half-sister to superstar sprinter Battaash, is open to considerable improvement; interesting.

Went through the ring for 1,800,000gns as a yearling; dam was a modest - well-related - performer who produced none other than the multiple Group 1 winning speedster Battaash (5f; RPR 129) and also The Antarctic (5f-6f Group 3; 111); has to be taken seriously on debut in this kind of company.

Magna Grecia filly; half-sister to 1m4f winner Cycladic (RPR 99); dam 1m2f/1m4f winner (101), half-sister to 1m2f Listed winner Unnefer and Australian 1m2f Group 3 winner Mount Popa out of close relative of Derby winner Kris Kin; likely best watched on debut and dam's side of the pedigree suggests she'll need further.
