Celtic Crown²⁴⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Robbie Colgan| T: J J Murphy

100/1

Not without promise despite being well held in both her starts so far. Changed hands since last seen in the autumn and is worth a market check on her stable debut, although whatever she achieves here, so can probably pick up a handicap in time.

Form: 75-

Elite Craft²⁷⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Ben Coen⁽³⁾| T: J P Murtagh

15/2

Raised an eyebrow or two when 25-1 on debut at Cork last August (1m, yld/soft) but running well to be 3L fourth. Not as good next time as Naas (7f), but she looks a capable sort who should be involved again here.

Form: 45-

(7)

Fortmill Lily^t1⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: R Coakley| T: P J F Murphy

200/1

50-1 on debut here over 7f (good) recently, when always towards the rear and well held. Can improve for that experience, but likely to have to wait for other days. Tongue-tie goes on.

Form: 0

Inside Intel²⁷⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: L F Roche| T: A Oliver

66/1

33-1 on debut at Naas (7f, good) last September, when she didn't run a bad race at all, eventually being beaten 8½L. Has something to build on this time and it wouldn't be a major shock if she gets involved for the minors.

Form: 8-

(14)

Mistress Of War

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Rory Cleary| T: L Comer

250/1

Second foal; half-sister to Italian 7f 2yo/1m½f winner Miss Concy, out of a 6f 2yo winner. Trainer on the cold list and this filly looks one to watch on debut.

Form:

(17)

Never Forgotten

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Declan McDonogh| T: J P O'Brien

20/1

Fourth foal; sister to 1m4f AW winner Tracing, out of a 5f-7f (inc. at two) winner. Trainer 12% with his 3yos over five seasons and can have debut winners, so keep an eye out for any market confidence.

Form:

(4)

Pinpointed

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Chris Hayes| T: K Prendergast

28/1

38,000gns foal; 62,000gns yearling; half-sister to four winners over trips from 6f-1m2f, the best of whom is Weapon Of Choice. Dam a twice-raced half-sister to French 1,000 Guineas winner Tie Black. Nice page and one to note in the market.

Pyramid Rock²⁴⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: S Foley| T: Mrs J Harrington| OR: 63

4/1

Daughter of Fastnet Rock out of a Galileo mare. 20-1 and was very keen throughout on debut at Leopardstown (1m, soft) last October, when a promising 5½L fifth of 14. If settling this time, she looks very likely to be a contender.

Form: 5-

(18)

Roca Roma²⁴⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Colin Keane| T: G M Lyons| OR: 63

1/2

Daughter of Australia and related to several winners at around 1m. 11-4 on her debut at Leopardstown last October, when under 1L second of 14. That is strong form in the context of this race, and she can go very close again.

Form: 2-

(16)

Secret Pulse

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: James J Doyle| T: G Keane

66/1

Half-sister to 6f-7f Irish/Hong Kong winner Exogenesis (inc. Group 3) and 7f AW winner Secret Path. Dam a 7f winner. Stable more strongly associated with AW 3yo winners than on turf.

Form:

(15)

Sindhia²⁴⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Ronan Whelan| T: M Halford

9/1

Produced a promising debut effort when 3L fourth of 14 in a Naas (7f, good) maiden last September. Lost her action on only subsequent start at Leopardstown. Can't rule her out if all is well and she can bounce back.

Form: 40-

(6)

Belle D'azur¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: J A Heffernan| T: G O'Leary

100/1

250-1 and never a threat on debut at Naas (1m, good to firm) earlier in the month, when beaten 20L. Can only watch this time.

Form: 0

(9)

Sienna Lady^h1²⁴⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: C P Hoban| T: M Halford

100/1

Not devoid of promise on debut at Naas (7f, good) last September, but failed to kick on in one more juvenile start at Leopardstown (1m, soft). Much more needed.

Form: 08-

Forecasts

Roca Roma (1/2), Pyramid Rock (4/1), Magic Chegaga (9/2), Elite Craft (15/2), Sindhia (9/1), Cavell (12/1), Ya Beauty (14/1), Never Forgotten (20/1), Good View (20/1), Pinpointed (28/1), Inside Intel (66/1), Secret Pulse (66/1), Celtic Crown (100/1), Sienna Lady (100/1), Belle D'azur (100/1), Pretty Rebel (100/1), Fortmill Lily (200/1), Mistress Of War (250/1)

Roca Roma is likely to be popular and she sets the standard on racecourse form, but considering PYRAMID ROCK took a fair tug and still ran well on her debut last autumn, if settling she may be capable of taking a big step up on that, so gets the vote. Stablemate Ya Beauty has been off for quite some time since her own debut, but if able to step up on that promising effort she couldn't be ruled out. Others of note are Cavell; Elite Craft and Magic Chegaga, while Good View has a nice pedigree and is worth noting in the market.
