7/4

Foaled March 24. €360,000 yearling, No Nay Never filly. Half-sister to several winners, including 6f-1m winner Lawmaking and 7f/1m winner Miquelon, both useful. Pitched in deep on debut but represents leading yard.

4/1

Put experience to good use when winning at Ripon in June. 16/1, below form 12 lengths fourth of 9 to Star of Mystery in listed race at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) 25 days ago, proving to be too free. Better expected back over 5f.

Storm Miami¹⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Colin Keane| T: G M Lyons| CD

10/3

Looked a good prospect when overcoming inexperience to land 12-runner maiden at this C&D (good, 11/4) on debut 18 days ago. More to come and a must for the shortlist.

Form: 1

Tiger Belle²¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Ben Coen| T: A McGuinness| OR: 90| D

11/1

Winner at Cork on debut in May. 1¾ lengths fourth of 8 to Son of Corballis in listed race (15/2) at Tipperary (5f, good) 21 days ago and that is just about the best form on offer.

Form: 124

Vanity Pays⁹³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: W J Lee| T: P Twomey| BF

8/1

Runner-up both starts, 4/6 when second of 9 in maiden at this course (5.9f, heavy), no match for winner. Off 93 days and she's in excellent hands.

Forecasts

Cherry Blossom (7/4), Storm Miami (10/3), Indispensable (4/1), Vanity Pays (8/1), Tiger Belle (11/1), Brighter (12/1), Bated Moon (16/1), Clarita (16/1)

STORM MIAMI clearly possesses more than her share of ability given she overcame obvious greenness to make a winning debut over C&D a fortnight ago. With the promise of plenty more to come she's marginally preferred in favour of Tiger Belle and Brighter.
