2/1

Big Bob Bob filly, full-sister to miler Boyfiend Brian and half-sister to the useful Head Space and dam was a half-sister to a Group 1 winner. Yard in excellent form and trainer and jockey have a fine strike-rate when combining. Should come on for his debut at the Curragh and given time to recover from that effort; could be the one to beat.

Forecasts

Ballot Box (13/8), Brian's Bride (2/1), Muizenberg Rock (7/1), Palariva (8/1), Moonstone Rose (9/1), Island Affair (12/1), Play Your Part (14/1), Shecanrally (16/1)

BRIAN'S BRIDE has a nice enough pedigree to suggest she is better than her debut effort and with the yard in such good form, she may be the one they all have to catch. Ballot Box sets a fair standard on form while Island Affair has hinted at ability in a pair of starts to date.
