Alfheim^t⁵¹

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

25/1

Once-raced filly. 16/1 and tongue strap on, eighth of 12 in maiden at Dundalk (10.7f) on debut 51 days ago. Sizeable step forward needed.

Form: 8

Cathedral Peak

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Dylan Browne McMonagle| T: J P O'Brien

7/1

Camelot filly. Dam, 7.5f/1m winner, half-sister to useful 6f-9.5f winner Greyfriarschorista. One to note in the betting.

Hanalia¹⁸

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

11/2

Once-raced filly. 10/3, fourth of 8 in maiden at Gowran (9.4f, heavy) on debut 18 days ago. Open to progress and should make her presence felt.

Form: 4

Lily Hart²⁴⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: R L Moore| T: A P O'Brien

2/1

Once-raced filly. Tenth of 13 in maiden (25/1) at Dundalk (7f) on debut, merely passing beaten rivals. Off 8 months. Significantly up in trip and it's interesting that Ryan Moore partners her in favour of North Africa.

Form: 0-

North Africa¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Wayne Lordan| T: A P O'Brien

3/1

Promising sort. 12/1, fifth of 9 in maiden at Leopardstown (10f, good to firm) on debut 14 days ago, running on. This Galileo filly will be much sharper this time and she looks sure to be involved in the finish.

Form: 5

(4)

Pink Orchid

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: J Cleary⁽⁷⁾| T: A P O'Brien

13/2

Justify filly. Dam, winner up to 1¾m (Stanerra Stakes and 2-y-o 7f/1m winner), sister to high-class winner up to 1½m (1000 Guineas/Oaks) Love. Obvious appeal on paper but jockey bookings suggest that she's the stable third-string.

Form:

(5)

Sidiza

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Chris Hayes| T: D K Weld

8/1

Sea The Moon filly. Half-sister to 1½m winner Sidiriya. Lots to like on paper and it'll be interesting to see what the market has to say.

Sing A New Song⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Rory Cleary| T: J S Bolger

66/1

Twice-raced filly. Sixth of 7 in maiden at Cork (12f, good to soft, 80/1) 5 days ago. Probably more one for handicaps in due course.

Forecasts

Lily Hart (2/1), North Africa (3/1), Hanalia (11/2), Pink Orchid (13/2), Cathedral Peak (7/1), Sidiza (8/1), Alfheim (25/1), Ms Messi (25/1), Sing A New Song (66/1)

Though passed over by Ryan Moore, NORTH AFRICA is nevertheless appealing on the back of her encouraging introduction at Leopardstown a fortnight ago. Moore's pick Lily Hart was never in the hunt on her sole 2-y-o start at Dundalk but she can be expected to leave that form well behind in time. Hanalia should build on her debut promise, while newcomers Cathedral Peak and Sidiza both need a close look in the betting.
