Al Rojo Vivo

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: W J Lee| T: D J Bunyan

66/1

Foaled March 31. Phoenix of Spain filly. Dam unraced out of useful winner up to 9.5f (2-y-o 7f winner) I'm Yours, herself daughter of Tattersalls Gold Cup winner Rebelline. Probably best watched on debut.

And So To Bed

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: D McMonagle| T: J P O'Brien

10/1

Foaled February 22. 85,000 gns yearling, Kodiac filly. Half-sister to 3 winners, including smart winner up to 1½m Kidmenever and winner up to 1m Now The King. Dam unraced. Top yard 3-10 with 2-y-os on turf so far this season and this likely-looking type holds an entry in the Airlie Stud Stakes.

Cold Hearted²⁷

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

7/4

Promising sort. Third of 12 in maiden at Naas (5.9f, soft, 14/1) on debut 27 days ago, best work finish. Will be more street-wise this time and big shout for the yard that landed this with subsequent Group 1 winner Albigna in 2019.

Form: 3

Far At Sea⁶⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: L T McAteer| T: Barry J Fitzgerald

66/1

Once-raced filly. 8/1, sixth of 8 in maiden at this course (5f, heavy) on debut 69 days ago. Easy enough to look elsewhere.

Form: 6

(3)

Grande Marques

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: J M Sheridan| T: J A Stack

8/1

Foaled February 22. Starspangledbanner filly. Sister to useful winner up to US 9f Bubbles On Ice and 1m winner Fizzical and half-sister to several winners, including US 1m winner Optimism And Hope. Yard can ready a newcomer and this filly is one to note in the betting.

Heavens Gate¹⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: R L Moore| T: A P O'Brien

2/1

Promising individual. 4/1, second of 11 in maiden at Navan (5f, good to soft) on debut 19 days ago. Open to improvement for powerful connections and she holds a Group 2 entry.

Form: 2

January

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: W M Lordan| T: A P O'Brien

9/1

Foaled April 10. Kingman filly. Dam, winner up to 1m (Boomerang Stakes, 2-y-o 7f winner and third in Sussex Stakes), out of half-sister to high-class winner up to 1m Landseer. No shortage of appeal on paper, albeit Ryan Moore prefers her once-raced stablemate Heavens Gate.

Marys Not Contrary

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: N M Crosse| T: Mrs J Harrington

20/1

Foaled April 7. 28,000 gns foal, €62,000 yearling, Havana Grey filly. Half-sister to Italian winner up to 11f Sunset Lover. Dam Italian maiden half-sister to smart 7f-1½m winner Orpello. Good deal of appeal on paper but Cold Hearted is clearly the stable first-string.

Form:

(7)

Queens Fury⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: D Egan| T: A Murray

12/1

Once-raced filly. 15/2, third of 5 in minor event at Naas (5f, good to firm) on debut 7 days ago, not knocked about. Progress should be forthcoming from this filly, who holds a couple of notable entries.

Form: 3

(4)

Roaming Eyes^h1

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: R C Colgan| T: S Lavery

125/1

Foaled April 5. Holy Roman Emperor filly. Half-sister to several winners, including useful 9.7f/1¼m winner Encapsulation and useful 12.5f winner Tashi. Wears hood. Entitled to come on for the run.

Twinkling Toes¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: N G McCullagh| T: Charles Weld

33/1

Once-raced filly. 25/1, third of 9 in maiden at Naas (5.9f, good) on debut 15 days ago, never nearer. Likely to pick up a race of two on that evidence but she's up against some very promising types here.

Form: 3

Forecasts

Cold Hearted (7/4), Heavens Gate (2/1), Grande Marques (8/1), January (9/1), And So To Bed (10/1), Hugo's Girl (10/1), Queens Fury (12/1), Red Veil (14/1), Marys Not Contrary (20/1), Twinkling Toes (33/1), Far At Sea (66/1), Al Rojo Vivo (66/1), Roaming Eyes (125/1)

This maiden has been won by some smart types over the years and COLD HEARTED is taken to add her name to the roll of honour before going on to better things herself. The two that beat her at Naas last month subsequently fought out the finish of a Group 3 contest, so the form looks strong. Heavens Gate shaped like a ready-made future winner when going down narrowly on her introduction at Navan and she is feared most ahead of Queens Fury and newcomer And So To Bed.
