Artisan Doue⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Gary Carroll| T: A Oliver

33/1

Mastercraftsman filly, closely related to a Listed winner. Half-sister to four winners and dam a half sister to 6f Group 1 winning juvenile. Well beaten over the minimum trip on debut in a Down Royal maiden but bred to do better; may improve.

Form: 9

But You Said⁴⁰

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

7/1

No Nay Never filly, cost €30,000 as a foal and €90,000 as a yearling. Dam a winning sprinter and half-sister to 5f Group 1 winner. Shaped with some promise in what could be a decent maiden on debut at Naas. Open to improvement here.

Croughavouke

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Wayne Lordan| T: A Fogarty

33/1

Dandy Man filly, dam a half-sister to Group performer over sprint trips. Speedily bred and yard are in good form with two winners from their last four; worth monitoring in the market.

Gold Brocade

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: W J Lee| T: K J Condon

8/1

Dragon Pulse filly, dam a 1m AW winner and half-sister to two more winners, both over further. Entitled to need this and might find this test on the sharp side.

Princess Xena

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: R Coakley| T: Mrs P Dobbs

33/1

Tamayuz filly, cost 28,000 gns as a foal and 30,000 gns as a yearling. Dam a 1m winner, half-sister to a Group 2 winner over 6f in Germany and two more useful winners. Interesting debutante and market should reveal expectations.

Tango¹⁵

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

1/6

No Nay Never filly, 200,000 gns yearling. Half-sister to winners. Dam a winner and half-sister to Italian Listed winner. Pedigree suggests she may do better over further but a lot to like about her effort on debut when runner-up at the Curragh (6f).

Form: 2

Forecasts

Tango (1/6), But You Said (7/1), Gold Brocade (8/1), Lady Alcazar (16/1), Croughavouke (33/1), Artisan Doue (33/1), Princess Xena (33/1)

Aidan O'Brien won this race last year and he has obvious claims of landing another renewal with TANGO who was impressive when second on debut. The yard's runners often take a sizable step forward from debut and she could be hard to beat if she improves. Lady Alcazar makes most appeal from those making their debut while But You Said is an interesting candidate if she can improve from debut.
