Form & Verdict
Winner and Listed-placed over 7f at two; hooded when disappointing in Guineas trial over that trip on comeback; despite it being her sixth run, still looked raw when 50-1 for 1m Group 3 at the Curragh on Monday, off the bridle at halfway before making some late gains; 1m2f should suit, but not sure she'll be quick enough to cope with some of these.

Smart filly with Listed honours on the board and has been holding her own in Group races, latterly not getting the best of runs when fourth at Gowran (tried cheekpieces; now removed); returning to further looks a good move.

Last three juvenile starts were all over 1m; beaten 5l in six-runner Curragh Group 3, strong at the line when landing Punchestown maiden, then weak in the market when last of eight in another Curragh Group 3 (heavy ground a possible excuse); with Ger Lyons at two, has changed hands and now starts off for Eretria's trainer; entered in both Oaks and dam was Stakes-class at up to 1m6f.

Form & Verdict
Sioux Nation filly was only a length off Ice Dancer in sole start at two; 11-10 fav when hosing up in 1m Leopardstown maiden last month, but what did she beat is the question? Still, it was impressive and connections think she'll improve for better ground; there are stayers further back in her pedigree.

Won a Leopardstown maiden (1m, yielding to soft) by 6l on her second start, since when she's finished fifth of seven in a 1m2f Listed race and well down the field in the Sandringham Handicap at Royal Ascot; unlikely that she's reached the ceiling of her ability and, back from a break and with her yard doubly represented, the market should be instructive.

J: Dylan Browne McMonagle

T: Joseph Patrick O’Brien

Won her maiden at Leopardstown by 6l (1m, yielding to soft; runner-up beaten since and now 0-4); it's unwise to suggest that her limitations were exposed in an Oaks trial over further at Naas as that race never went entirely to plan; her very low draw could be troublesome but she's one of a bucketload in here capable of better.

Form & Verdict
Winner and Group 3-placed over 1m on heavy in the autumn; forget about her run at Navan a fortnight ago (found to be showing signs of coming into season), but what was significant was that Moore picked her over 10lb higher-rated stablemate (who, admittedly, also ran poorly); pedigree implies she can improve at this trip and entered in both Oaks.
