Form & Verdict

Two promising efforts last year in maidens at the Curragh and Bellewstown and posted a much higher RPR on seasonal return when under 9l off winner in Listed Noblesse Stakes over C&D last month (soft-to-heavy); interesting to see if she can run to her 86 rating here back in maiden company.

Form & Verdict

Fair form in a couple of juvenile runs, taking a step forward on last month's return at Dundalk when second in 1m4f maiden, having had every chance in straight (winner has run well in handicap since); more likely required back on turf but stamina proven and place claims.

Form & Verdict

Frankel filly is closely related to Group 1 winners Hydrangea, The United States and Hermosa; superbly-bred but has looked limited in three runs, most recently on seasonal return when beaten 11l in Dundalk AW fillies maiden last month; upped in trip here and cheekpieces replace blinkers.

Form & Verdict

Camelot filly showed improvement on last month's seasonal return in 1m2f Leopardstown fillies maiden, forcing much of pace when third to a smart type (Sangreal a staying-on second); not sure this step up in trip will be in her favour (has Oaks entries) but seemingly the Ballydoyle first-choice.

Form & Verdict

Decent NH mare, winning a bumper and three times over hurdles at up to 3m; recent chase form not quite at same level but useful; previous two Flat runs include decent fourth in 1m7f Leopardstown amateur maiden last summer; would probably appreciate a stiffer test.
