Casuist¹⁵

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

16/1

Casamento filly is a half-sister to smart winner up to 1m Hillbilly Boy. Stable second string on debut and never threatened.

Classie¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Chris Hayes| T: J A Stack

22/1

Down the field on both starts to date and has plenty to find. Yard have been in good form with this age group but it would be a surprise if she proved good enough to take this.

Form: 8-0

Clonville¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Ronan Whelan| T: J P Fahey

66/1

Thousand Words filly is a half-sister to winner up to 6f Flying Bear. Has finished in rear on both starts at lengthy odds. Hard to recommend

Conversely¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Wayne Lordan| T: H De Bromhead

7/2

Shamardal filly bought for just €6,000 earlier this year. Has not looked devoid of ability and latest effort over 1m suggested she would be suited by the step down to 7f.

Form: 64

Dawn Of A New Era⁴⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: K J Manning| T: J S Bolger| OR: 79

6/1

First two starts last autumn for the New Approach filly were in Group races, but fared little better in two average maidens since. Down in distance and worth a market check in a weak race.

Form: 769-6

Gin Rocks²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Gary Carroll| T: E Kent

50/1

Makes little appeal on pedigree and has run accordingly on both career starts. This is a less competitive race than those she has contested but she still has a lot to find.

Form: 00

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: G P Halpin⁽³⁾| T: P J Flynn

50/1

Dam was modest with a 2-65 record and yet to produce anything of note. Hard to recommend on pedigree.

Its All For Luck^t1

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Colin Keane| T: R P McNamara

8/1

Sister to Irish 1000 Guineas winner Jet Setting. Has been found an easy race for her debut. Young trainer is still seeking his first Flat winner.

1/1

Followed home the smart-looking Irishcorrespondent at Leopardstown before failing to back that up here next time. That winner could be anything and she was clear of the third. Holds Group entries at Royal Ascot and there can be few excuses if failing again.

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: P J Smullen| T: D K Weld

14/1

Daughter of champion sprinter Fastnet Rock and half-sister to a couple of winners from 1m-2m. Looks the stable's second string.

Suzy Vega

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: W J Lee| T: A Oliver

14/1

Daughter of Lope De Vega out of a dam who won on debut for this yard. Worth noting how the market rates her prospects in what looks a decent heat.

Forecasts

Music Box (1/1), Conversely (7/2), Dawn Of A New Era (6/1), Its All For Luck (8/1), Knowing You (8/1), Suzy Vega (14/1), Scealai Aonair (14/1), Casuist (16/1), Classie (22/1), Above Us Only Sky (33/1), Little White Owl (33/1), Gin Rocks (50/1), Headfullofattitude (50/1), Clonville (66/1)

Dawn Of A New Era is difficult to evaluate having been highly tried on her first two starts. He is clearly thought capable of better than we have seen so far but MUSIC BOX and Knowing You look the most likely types to fight out the finish in this. The latter showed clear signs of promise on her debut over an inadequate trip. Dermot Weld's filly will clearly improve but needs to find plenty to match the form shown by MUSIC BOX. The Balydoyle filly has come up against potentially smart horses on her last two starts. A hood suggests she may not be that straightforward but there can be few excuses if she fails to take advantage of her easiest test to date.
