Camelot sister to 1m1f- 2yo winner and smart winner at up to 2m2f Cleveland (inc Chester Cup/Australian Group 2; RPR 114), half-sister to 7f AW winner Asad (92); dam 1m2f-1m4f Group 3 winner; beaten favourite but showed plenty on recent Leopardstown debut, unsuited by steady pace and ran green when staying-on third (Thenandnow second); improvement expected and talented rider's claim could enable her to reverse form with Thenandnow.

Won a maiden at Leopardstown (1m, yielding) last October on her fifth start; reappeared with 2l win in the Cheshire Oaks at Chester (11.3f, good) in first-time hood and blinkers; failed to handle the track when favourite for the Oaks; change of headgear, Moore stays loyal; pick of a Ballydoyle quintet.

T: A P O’Brien

Built upon previous promise (including on soft ground) when easily winning a maiden at Leopardstown (1m, yielding) last October on her fifth start, and reappeared with 2l win in Listed Cheshire Oaks at Chester (11.3f, good) where she wore a hood and blinkers for the first time (retained today); she's followed the same route on her last two races as Minnie Hauk, who won this for Ballydoyle 12 months ago, and Ryan Moore rides; major player.

Started favourite in all five juvenile appearances, culminating in an easy success in Leopardstown maiden (1m, yielding) that was won 12 months earlier by the same yard's Minnie Hauk, who followed up in this race en route to even bigger things; sister to a Chester Cup winner for her trainer, whose Cheshire Oaks record is impressive; brings strong credentials and has to be feared, assuming she takes to first-time hood/blinkers.

Kodi Bear filly is first foal; dam placed 1m3f/1m4f (RPR 76), half-sister to 6f 2yo Group 2 winner Besharah, out of unraced half-sister to US 8.5f Grade 3 winner Kiss Moon; seemingly yard second-choice on debut and likely all the better for the experience.

Well held in two strong turf maidens last term; Cork race in which she was 13l seventh of 11 was won by subsequent dual Group 1 winner Precise; should be better for a run in a 6f maiden at Dundalk and this trip should be more suitable; interesting in this grade with Julian Pietropaolo claiming 7lb.

Second foal; half-sister to 7f juvenile winner Attack; dam Albigna won the Prix Marcel Boussac; easy enough to back, very promising debut second in Leopardstown fillies maiden earlier this month, handy throughout in steadily-run affair when second to an all-the-way winner; looks a maiden winner in waiting but may not confirm that form with third-placed Amelia Earhart on these terms.
