Ahandfulofsummers²⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Chris Hayes| T: J A Stack

7/1

Galileo filly. Improved on debut form when 2 lengths third of 9 to Emaniya in maiden at Cork (8f, good, 11/1) 20 days ago. That ought not prove her limit but this understandably tougher.

Form: 63

Allagar^p⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: K J Manning| T: J S Bolger| OR: 80

28/1

Fair filly. 100/1, fourteenth of 19 in minor event at Naas (6f, soft) 5 days ago, weakening final 1f. Expected to prove vulnerable in a race of this nature.

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Wayne Lordan| T: A P O'Brien| BF

5/1

Thrice-raced maiden. 3/1, 2 lengths fourth of 9 to Emaniya in maiden at Cork (8f, good) 20 days ago. Should progress.

Form: 524

(5)

Dolce Notte⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Ronan Whelan| T: J A Stack

16/1

Once-raced maiden. 10/1, second of 10 in maiden at Killarney (8.2f, heavy) on debut 7 days ago, rates the type to improve but this understandably demands a good deal more.

Form: 2

(6)

Emaniya²⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: O J Orr| T: D K Weld| D

3/1

Promising type. 1 win from 2 runs this year. Won 9-runner maiden at Cork (8f, good, 11/2) 20 days ago, comfortably. Likely there is a good deal more to come and respected.

Form: 51

(1)

Nicest³⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: G M Ryan| T: Donnacha O'Brien| D

9/4

Promising individual. Won 10-runner maiden at Leopardstown (8f, good to soft, 6/1) on debut 36 days ago, having to pick her way through. Sure to improve and worth her place at this higher level.

Form: 1

(3)

Rosscarbery¹⁴

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

22/1

Once-raced maiden. 22/1, fourth of 8 in minor event at this course (7f, good to soft) on debut 14 days ago, not knocked about. Yard having good spell. Likely to improve.

Form: 4

Ubuntu¹⁴

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

15/2

Once-raced maiden. Fifth of 8 in minor event (9/1) at this course (7f, good to soft) on debut 14 days ago, closing all way to line. Should improve.

Forecasts

Nicest (9/4), Meala (9/4), Emaniya (3/1), Divinely (5/1), Ahandfulofsummers (7/1), Ubuntu (15/2), Dolce Notte (16/1), Rosscarbery (22/1), Allagar (28/1)

NICEST is bred in the purple and looked well above average when scoring on debut at Leopardstown 5 weeks ago, having to pick her way through and staying on to lead near the line. She's worth her place at this higher level and earns the vote. Meala, who was far from disgraced in a Group 2 last time, and Emaniya head up the dangers.
