12/1

Filly by Morpheus out of a Mr Greely mare. Half-sister to winners over 6f - 7f Our Generation and Maureb. 6L fourth over 6f here on recent debut (33-1) and yard's runners tend to improve for a run.

Glow Worm⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 8-6| J: L F Roche| T: J Davison

2/1

Epaulette filly. Dam 6f winner, half-sister to useful 5f - 1m1f victor La Neige out of maiden sister to leading 6f two-year-old Bahamian Bounty. Made the frame on debut at Naas (6f, good to yielding) earlier in week; may improve, down in trip

Windham Belle²⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 8-6| J: Nathan Crosse⁽⁷⁾| T: W McCreery| BF

6/1

Anjaal filly, cost €7,000 as a yearling. Half-sister to eight winners, largely sprinters. Dam a half-sister to a Group 2 winner over this trip. Popular in betting on debut at Naas but struggled to get involved over 5f. Can do better before long.

Forecasts

Daughter In Law (6/4), Glow Worm (2/1), Windham Belle (6/1), Principalship (13/2), Liath Luachra (10/1), Almost A Dream (12/1), Snifter (12/1)

Not the strongest opener and there must be a chance that GLOW WORM improves from her debut at Naas earlier in the week to take this. She drops in trip and won't need to be a star to win. Principalship and Almost A Dream should be involved while any strong support behind newcomers Daughter In Law or Snifter would be worth heeding.
