4/1

Fair filly. Good third of 14 in maiden (10/3) at Punchestown (7f, good) 32 days ago, hampered. Visor on 1st time and not dismissed for yard who hold fine record in this contest.

Forecasts

Clemmie C (10/3), Thoughts Of June (10/3), Radiyka (4/1), Kerkiyra (6/1), Red Azalea (10/1), Villanova Queen (12/1), Emily Dickinson (12/1), Above The Curve (18/1), Zaniyka (20/1), Trustworthy (33/1), Accomplished (33/1), Sli Phadraigin (40/1), Dylanger (100/1), Lemon Ice (125/1), Steps In The Sand (150/1), Starlight Rose (200/1)

Plenty of potential on show here and the market will doubtless prove highly informative. CLEMMIE C made a promising start when runner-up at Cork last month so this well-related daughter of Churchill gets the nod at the chief expense of Aidan O'Brien's Dubawi newcomer Emily Dickinson. Thoughts of June, Kerkiyra and Red Azalea also figure high on the shortlist too in an intriguing maiden.
