Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: T P Madden⁽³⁾| T: Mrs J Harrington

50/1

Never landed a blow on debut when eighth on debut at Gowran Park over 7f on good ground in June. Needs to do a lot more off the back of that effort but current form of stable does offer some encouragement.

Form: 8

Espoir Et Bonheur^t¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: G P Halpin| T: G P Cromwell

100/1

Two-race maiden. Well adrift of a couple of these rivals in a 1m Listowel maiden earlier this month. Others look more convincing at this level.

50/1

Daughter of Mastercraftsman out of a Galileo mare. Half-sister to 1m2f winner, Hunting Horn. Fifth of seven beaten 11L behind the Aidan O'Brien-trained The Tooth Fairy at Galway earlier this month on debut over 1m4f. More needed.

25/1

Well held and never nearer on return to action on seasonal debut in a Cork maiden on good ground over 1m½f. First time hood unlikely to bring about the required amount of improvement needed to play a role here.

14/1

Well-related War Front filly who was 3/1f on debut in April at Leopardstown with Ryan Moore on but didn't feature in the finish. Slight improvement the following month at Naas. Obviously open to improvement and one to note.

50/1

Poet's Voice filly. Half-sister to a two-year-old winner. Dam is a half-sister to smart French Oaks winner Star Of Seville. Unfortunate debut when rearing up on leaving the stalls and unseating luckless rider when last seen in July.

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Declan McDonogh| T: H De Bromhead| OR: 70

20/1

Dream Ahead filly. Took the eye when runner-up in 7f contest at Tipperary on debut in June but has disappointed since in a couple of starts in the last month. Needs to bounce back in a big way to have a say.

2/1

Forecasts

Miss Clash (15/8), Sheranda (2/1), Lovee Dovee (5/1), Bandiuc Eile (7/1), Magic Fountain (14/1), Karashala (16/1), Royal Highness (20/1), Simply A Breeze (25/1), Is She About (25/1), Blues Lady (33/1), New York Ballet (50/1), Future Romance (50/1), Trish's Company (50/1), Dali's Dream (50/1), Espoir Et Bonheur (100/1), Thefaithfulindian (100/1), Trad Session (100/1)

Given the form of the Dermot Weld three-year-olds this term is hard to ignore the chances of the filly, SHERANDA. The daughter of Siyouni can improve in these conditions from a promising second of 15 beaten 2L at Listowel earlier this month. Miss Clash for the Emmet Mullins stable looks the biggest danger on the balance of her pleasing debut run at Gowran Park earlier this month while, Cork runner-up, Lovee Dovee and the Aidan O'Brien-trained, Magic Fountain can compete for the minor honours.
