Selected odds by:

(9)

Intense Stylist^b¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: K P Moriarty⁽⁷⁾| T: A Moriarty| OR: 65

25/1

Has proven herself to be very good at going close in races, having finished either second or third in almost half her races so far, but probably lacks the class to get her head in front in a maiden of this nature.

Form: 3527-05

(14)

Nudge^b⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: Adrian O'Shea⁽⁵⁾| T: Mrs A M O'Shea| OR: 70

25/1

Has proven a little inconsistent but also has more solid form in the book than some of her opponents here and will likely appreciate the return to this trip.

Form: 32/2-908

(15)

Penny Pekan¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: W J Lee| T: T Doyle

50/1

Beaten 21L into last of eleven on debut at Killarney last time and would need to leave that form a long way behind her in order to figure here.

Form: 0

(8)

Tjukurrpa²⁴⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: Colin Keane| T: J J Walsh| OR: 27

66/1

Has beaten only one horse home in three starts in maidens and looks to have it all to do on this fourth racecourse appearance.

Form: 700-

Bright Lass

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Rory Cleary| T: J J Walsh

50/1

Bushranger colt who was a €2,200 purchase as a yearling and do does not look at all a likely winner on debut, especially given her connections.

Form:

(1)

Elusive Duchess

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Gary Carroll| T: A Keatley

33/1

Elusive Pimpernel filly from a family of relatively little account who would rate a surprise winner first time out for connections not associated with debut winners.

Form:

(3)

Guthanna Gaoithe^t1

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: C O'Donoghue| T: P D Deegan

20/1

Poet's Voice filly who makes her debut wearing a tongue strap. This trip looks ideal on pedigree but the yard isn't exactly prolific for first time out winners.

Form:

(4)

Kamili

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Wayne Lordan| T: J P O'Brien

7/1

Invincible Spirit filly who is a half-sister to two Group 1 winners and goes for a promising young trainer. This trip should suit on pedigree and she looks set for a big run on debut.

Form:

(13)

New Terms^p²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: K J Manning| T: J S Bolger

8/11

Ran a fine race on debut at the Curragh to be beaten only half a length, putting in a professional performance. Has definite potential to come on from that, and should go very close if able to overcome a high draw.

Form: 2

(11)

Nutcracker Suite²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Anastasia O'Brien⁽³⁾| T: A P O'Brien| OR: 71

14/1

One of the more experienced fillies in the line-up who has had her limitations exposed more than most, including when running in handicap company and never figuring in a Group 3. However this seems to be a much more suitable assignment.

Form: 7806-9

(10)

Plena^t²⁶⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: R Coakley⁽³⁾| T: David J Geary| OR: 64

25/1

Has never really threatened in a series of maidens so far but has been capable enough to run some solid races, and could be in the fight for a place, largely depending on how good the newcomers turn out to be.

Form: 68554-

(6)

Susan^t1⁶³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: K J Leonard⁽⁵⁾| T: Paul Gammell

50/1

Beaten 39L on heavy ground on her debut run at Cork in April. Much more required now but she may be able to do better on a sounder surface in a first time tongue strap.

Form: 9

(7)

Three Sisters²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: P J Smullen| T: T Collins

11/2

Failed to build on a very promising debut run at the Curragh last time, but raced keenly in the early stages and the potential she showed on her first appearance should not be forgotten purely on the basis of that.

Form: 2-6

(5)

Vienna Circle

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: S Foley| T: M Halford

10/1

Teofilo filly out of a Street Cry mare. Dam won over 1m but generally the family is better when stepped up to middle-distances. However, still not discounted on debut and a market check will be necessary.

Form:

Non-Runners

Forecasts

New Terms (8/11), Three Sisters (11/2), Kamili (7/1), Vienna Circle (10/1), Nutcracker Suite (14/1), Breeze (14/1), Joy For Mary (16/1), Guthanna Gaoithe (20/1), Intense Stylist (25/1), Nudge (25/1), Plena (25/1), Elusive Duchess (33/1), Susan (50/1), Bright Lass (50/1), Penny Pekan (50/1), Tjukurrpa (66/1)

As with the opener on this card, much of how this race pans out will depend on the newcomers, but the one to beat is evidently NEW TERMS. Godolphon's once-raced filly trained by Kevin Manning ran a fine race on debut to finish only half a length down on the winner and was 4½L clear of the second. That is far and away the best form on offer here, and she is taken to make a winning debut. Invincible Spirit filly Kamili and Three Sisters, who is probably better than she showed last time, are others to consider.
