Form & Verdict
Night Of Thunder filly proved no match for Sparkling Sea on last month's C&D debut, although not knocked about in the closing stages; like many of the yard's runners can be expected to come on for that and could get a lot closer this time.

Cost 425,000gns as a yearling; built on her debut effort when getting up close home in a Naas Group 3 (6f, good) that was won by the subsequent Albany winners in 2022 and 2023; this promising Ballydoyle filly has excellent credentials.

Starspangledbanner filly was easy enough to back when making winning debut over C&D last month, travelling and lengthening well on the rising ground inside the final furlong; quite a sharp type, should make a bold bid again.

C&D winner on debut last year, beating the smart Fairy Godmother convincingly before that form reversed in Group 3 at this track; excellent close third behind Whistlejacket at Navan in April before too keen over C&D in Listed company; more patient ride likely suit and seems to be on a very workable opening mark.

Form & Verdict
Calyx filly made good impression on Curragh debut early this month, bit slowly away and keen enough but showed plenty of speed and saw the trip out well on soft ground; not sure what the bare form amounts to but reportedly Albany-bound so expected to go close here.
