Bonnie Blue Flag⁴⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-13| J: C P Hoban| T: P J Flynn

100/1

Beaten a wide margin in a bumper at Cork on sole racecourse outing thus far, doesn't appeal now switched to the Flat.

Canford Lady²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-13| J: T P Madden⁽⁵⁾| T: S Fahey

80/1

Twice-raced filly on Flat. Finished fourth of 15 in novice hurdle (sent off 100/1) at Tramore (2m, good) this month, lots more needed in this.

Form: 00/

Eirene Wind^h1²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-13| J: Gary Carroll| T: P J Flynn

100/1

Finished last of 12 in bumper at Tramore (2m, good to firm) this month on second start in that sphere, needs marked improvement and easy enough to oppose here.

Myra Awnya¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-13| J: S P Davis⁽⁷⁾| T: E McNamara

100/1

Bushranger filly is a half-sister to useful winner up to 1m2f Goodwood Zodiac. Not shown a lot in two starts at Cork and Listowel so far in maidens, cautious approach seems fair for now.

Form: 00

(6)

Royal Alto¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-13| J: N G McCullagh| T: V T O'Brien

100/1

Thrice-raced maiden, yet to impress in three starts. Latest effort at Listowel (1m, good) 19 days ago doing little to inspire confidence.

Form: 090

Away³²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: E J McNamara| T: A P O'Brien

14/1

Galileo half-sister to Group 3 winner Hazel Lavery. Last of 14 in maiden at the Curragh (1m, good to firm) on debut. Represents Ballydoyle but doesn't appear one of the yard's bright lights.

Form: 0-

(4)

Baby Pink²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: M C Hussey| T: A P O'Brien

7/1

Invincible Spirit filly out of a Galileo mare related to Kingman and Carlisle winner Presidential. Weld fended off in 1m2f maiden at the Curragh (good to firm) on debut. Second Aidan O'Brien runner in this contest.

Form: 0

Bongiorno¹⁴

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

2/1

High Chaparral filly, cost €8,000 as a two-year-old. Half-sister to four winners and dam a Listed winner, finished third of 11 in maiden at the Curragh (1m2f, good to firm) a fortnight ago, may improve.

Form: 3

Imrana³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Declan McDonogh| T: D K Weld| BF

7/4

Azamour filly, cost 115,000 as a gns foal and is bred to be useful. Finished fifth of 11 in maiden at Cork (1m2f, good to soft) last month and can build on that effort.

Form: 5

(3)

Seize Your Star¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: S Foley| T: J P O'Brien

6/1

Sea The Stars filly, half-sister to three winners and dam a winner up to 1m and half-sister to French 2,000 Guineas winner and Breeders' Cup mile winner Karakontie. Moderate effort on debut at the Curragh a fortnight ago. More needed.

Form: 6

(5)

Stormy Falls³³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: K J Manning| T: P A Fahy

100/1

Thewayyouare filly related to multiple winners, sent off 100/1 and beat just one of 13 rivals home in a maiden at Naas (1m, good) 33 days ago.

Form: 700

Tarasila¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: L F Roche| T: D K Weld

20/1

Sent off favourite and showed some promise on debut at Roscommon (1m2f, good) this month. Shamardal filly entitled to build on that run and is capable of better.

Form: 6

(12)

Tooreen Katie²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: K K Hennessy⁽⁷⁾| T: J A Stack

12/1

Promising debut over 7f on the AW at Dundalk last year, may have needed the run when beaten 7L over 1m2f at Fairyhouse late last month. Should have more to give.

Form: 2-5

Forecasts

Imrana (7/4), Bongiorno (2/1), Seize Your Star (6/1), Baby Pink (7/1), Tooreen Katie (12/1), Away (14/1), Tarasila (20/1), Canford Lady (80/1), Bonnie Blue Flag (100/1), Stormy Falls (100/1), Eirene Wind (100/1), Royal Alto (100/1), Myra Awnya (100/1)

IMRANA was sent off favourite on debut and while she couldn't deliver at Cork last month, this longer trip should give her every chance, with improvement likely to be forthcoming. Stablemate Tarasila could also have a say while Bongiorno represents last year's winning trainer/jockey combination and looks set to go well after an impressive third on debut. Tooreen Katie may be fitter after a run and isn't dismissed.
