Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Wayne Lordan| T: J P O'Brien

7/1

Mastercraftsman filly was well beaten in fourth of nine on debut at the Curragh (7f, good) late last month but should have learned from that experience and can come on. One of three for a yard going well in this contest.

9/1

Zoffany filly improved on second start at Limerick (7f, good) when finishing 1½L fifth of 11 runners. May need another step up on that form to land this.

Forecasts

Easter Lily (2/1), Conquest (7/2), Active Approach (9/2), Dream Malfunction (7/1), Zalzar (9/1), Adaliya (14/1), Flattering (14/1), Eos (16/1), Victory Boom (20/1), Lovely Morning (33/1), Alpine Queen (66/1)

A really testing start for punters give than six of the 11 runners scheduled to go to post are trained by either Aidan or Joseph O'Brien. As such, a market check will prove absolutely essential in drawing potential pecking orders amongst the stablemates. Any strong support for a newcomer will be worth heeding, the likes of Active Approach, Conquest, Eos and Flattering greatly respected. On form, EASTER LILY'S run behind September is a clear standout while Dream Malfunction should improve from her Curragh debut.
