Black Magic Woman²⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: O J Orr| T: J Davison| D

25/1

Improved from a promising debut to win in convincing fashion at Dundalk next time and the runner-up and fourth have both won since. Worth a crack at this level.

Form: 61

(10)

Burmese Waltz²⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Colin Keane| T: G M Lyons

6/1

Got her head in front at the third time of asking when a wide margin winner in a 14 runner contest at Dundalk last month. That form doesn't look anything special but rates as the type to carry on improving.

Form: 321

(3)

Chocolate Music²⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: N G McCullagh| T: Mrs J Harrington| OR: 95

16/1

Improved from debut to win a 15 runner Curragh maiden but couldn't land any sort of blow up in Group company last time. Well related and likely capable of better down in class.

Form: 317

(5)

Coral Beach²¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: E J McNamara| T: A P O'Brien| OR: 79| BF

20/1

Still a maiden after eight starts but hard to envisage her making a mark at this level having been well beaten in a handicap last time out off a mark of 79.

Form: 242236

(6)

Foxtrot Liv⁴⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: W J Lee| T: P Twomey| D

5/2

Improving with each start and got her head in front on her third career outing at the Curragh last time in convincing fashion. Form of that race nothing special but seemingly plenty more to come here.

Form: 421

(4)

Gospel¹⁰⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Ronan Whelan| T: M R Channon

12/1

Narrowly prevailed at Nottingham in May and form of that race would appear to be average at best. Opposable despite the trainer's decent record with the horses he brings to Ireland.

Form: 1

(15)

Harriet's Force

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Robbie Colgan| T: K H Clarke

100/1

Lethal Force filly, cost €8,000 as a yearling. Half-sister to five winners. Dam a half-sister to a 1m2f winner. Very tough ask on debut here.

Form:

(14)

Iridessa²⁰

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

13/2

Impressive when winning in comfortable fashion at Killarney on debut but couldn't justify the step up in class at the Curragh next time out in Group 2 company. Probably worth forgiving that run and may do better here.

Form: 15

(1)

Madam Seamstress³⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: K J Manning| T: J S Bolger

33/1

Vocalised filly, sister to winner over similar trip. Dam a half-sister to three winners around this trip. Well beaten on debut at the Curragh and hard to fancy after that effort.

Form: 7

(12)

Mia Mento¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Oisin Murphy| T: T Mullins| C

20/1

Won a maiden here over 6f on debut but didn't make any sort of impression when stepped up to Group 3 company at the Curragh last time. Entered in the Cheveley Park and booking of Murphy is eye-catching. Not ruled out.

Form: 14

(7)

Mona Lisa's Smile¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: G P Halpin| T: A P O'Brien

33/1

Improving slowly with each start and ran okay in a Curragh maiden at the end of last month when fourth of 20 but she has plenty more on her plate here and despite her attractive pedigree, others make more appeal.

Form: 0754

(16)

My Laureate⁹²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Gary Carroll| T: G M Lyons

11/1

Only narrowly denied on debut at Fairyhouse and while she's capable of plenty of improvement upped in trip here, she's the second string on jockey bookings.

Form: 2

(9)

Sparkle'n'joy⁵¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: S Foley| T: Mrs J Harrington| OR: 94

12/1

Off the mark at the third attempt when winning a maiden at Naas but faded late to finish fourth of six at Leopardstown next time out in Group 3 class. Didn't get things all her own way that day and may be capable of better here.

Form: 5314

(11)

Tosen Shauna²¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Chris Hayes| T: T Kodama| OR: 78

66/1

Improved from debut to produce a trio of placed efforts and shaped like she would appreciate a step back up in trip here having run well over C&D two starts back. Needs to improve.

Form: 0333

(13)

Trethias¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: C O'Donoghue| T: Mrs J Harrington

5/1

Took a big step forward from her debut to win a maiden at the Curragh in comfortable fashion next time. That looked a strong event and she may be able to make her presence felt up in class here. Yard's first-string.

Form: 41

(2)

Vallambrosa^t¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: S M Crosse| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 88

25/1

Maiden winner at Fairyhouse but she's failed to make her presence felt in three subsequent starts at pattern level. Has a tendency to break slowly and others preferred here.

Form: 251545

Forecasts

Foxtrot Liv (5/2), Trethias (5/1), Burmese Waltz (6/1), Iridessa (13/2), My Laureate (11/1), Sparkle'n'joy (12/1), Gospel (12/1), Chocolate Music (16/1), Coral Beach (20/1), Mia Mento (20/1), Black Magic Woman (25/1), Vallambrosa (25/1), Mona Lisa's Smile (33/1), Madam Seamstress (33/1), Tosen Shauna (66/1), Harriet's Force (100/1)

There was enough to like about FOXTROT LIV 's effort last time out to think she might be up to this grade and she's taken to get the better of Jessica Harrington's first string, Trethias who won a nice looking maiden at the Curragh. At a likely bigger price, Iridessa can be forgiven her run last time and remains capable of better.
