    Sole maiden hurdle start was not devoid of promise over C&D in November (good); reasonable effort in a Wexford bumper in August when 17.5l behind but tailed off at Listowel on her most recent start.

    Ran twice for Dermot Weld late last season; showed winning potential when third behind two of the principal fancies in a 1m4f maiden at Galway, 2 1/4l in front of disappointing favourite Cosmetic; shorter trip probably not ideal when fourth in a claimer at Sligo.

    Frankel filly is closely related to Group 1 winners Hydrangea, The United States and Hermosa; limited sort but shaped like a possible future winner when second at Fairyhouse in July; beaten favourite at Galway when finishing behind 100-1 shot Shemiyka; capable of better.

    Second over this trip on both starts this spring, narrowly beaten after having every chance at Dundalk and made much of running until outstayed by an 86-rated rival at Cork in testing conditions; failed to replicate that form when unplaced at the Curragh in June.

    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.

    Betting Forcast

    20/1 Coolnagrattan, 200/1 Nothingbutadream, 200/1 Nugentstown Sue, 8/1 Shemiyka, 7/4 Almazann, 33/1 Daily Wonder, 14/1 Four Ball, 20/1 Nemorino, 12/1 Plug In Hybrid, 6/1 Purple Bandit, 3/1 Cosmetic, 6/1 I Hope You Dance, 20/1 Kigalienne, 8/1 Mawhibah, 8/1 Miss Romagna, 10/1 Shambata, Metallic, Gentle Soda, Michinaga

    Verdict

    Beaten by a Joseph O’Brien-trained rival on all three starts, Dermot Weld’s runner ALMAZANN has a good opportunity to go one better. On this occasion, the main threat appears to be the Aidan O’Brien-trained filly Cosmetic, below her best in a Galway race in which Shemiyka finished third. I Hope You Dance can feature if restored to her best after a tame display at the Curragh. Blinkered newcomer Purple Bandit has a smart pedigree. [Alan Sweetman]
