Improving maiden chased home Peach Tree first time out before running second to another Ballydoyle runner at Cork. Ran a fine race here over 7f last weekend when second at 50/1 in a Group Two. Literal interpretation of that gives her a big chance.

Looked short of this sort of level in first five starts at 5f but dramatically improved for step up to 7f at Goodwood latest when finishing strongly to grab third in a Group Three at 50/1. Looked like she would get 1m there so big player here.

Gowran Park winner over 7f on debut bumped into the smart Lady Kaya who bolted up by 10L here next time and had to settle for third. This another step up in class and looks up against it overall.

7f Limerick scorer on debut where she got up late on but flopped next under front running tactics here over 6f in a Group Three although may have done too much too soon. Had a break since and on form basis looks stable third string.

Beautifully bred filly scored here on debut but was too keen as favourite in the Albany at Royal Ascot before finishing third a Group Three here. Steps up 2f now and bred to appreciate it so big improvement distinctly likely.

Thrice-raced maiden has chased home Ballydoyle juveniles in all three starts including Peach Tree in the second of them. Possible there is still more to come but looks up against it at this level on evidence so far.

Landed the odds as favourite here in her second start over 7f with a couple of these behind. Upped to Group Two level here last weekend she faded having made the running and was some 6¾L behind Bandiuc Eile so work to do now.

Fairyhouse maiden winner struggled against useful Skitter Scatter at Leopardstown before improved effort in fourth in a Tipperary 7½f Listed race. Will appreciate step up in trip but more needed in first-time headgear.

Just Wonderful (7/4), Bandiuc Eile (9/4), Chynna (7/1), Peach Tree (8/1), Lightning Amber (10/1), Vallambrosa (14/1), Fleeting (20/1), Dragon Roll (20/1), Bodhicitta (33/1)

Having won on debut JUST WONDERFUL has been a shade disappointing since but many of her trainer's two-year-olds seemed a little slow to develop after a terrible winter before finding their feet recently and she is bred to greatly appreciate this step up in trip so is taken to find the required improvement to win this. Bandiuc Eile's run here last week is excellent form at Group Two level and she sets the standard on that basis. Chynna is another who caused a surprise when hitting the frame at Group level latest and she may be even better over 1m.
  1. Just Wonderful
  2. Bandiuc Eile
  3. Chynna
