600,000 gns yearling, Siyouni filly. Half-sister to US 1m/9f winner Equitize. Dam, French 1½m (Prix de Malleret) winner, closely related to top-class winner up to 1½m Waldgeist. Debut late in the day but she's in excellent hands.
Fair filly. Remains a maiden after 12 Flat runs. Good fourth of 12 in maiden (8/1) at Limerick (8.2f, heavy) 17 days ago. Significantly back up in trip.
Lightly-raced filly. 10/11, creditable third of 12 in maiden at Limerick (8.2f, heavy) 17 days ago. Significantly back up in trip and this looks a good opening.
Lightly-raced filly. 28/1, below form seventh of 14 in maiden at Gowran (8f, soft) 26 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Significantly back up in trip and she's a danger to all on her Killarney second.
Fairly useful winner at 20f over hurdles. 12/1 and tongue strap on, fifth of 8 in maiden at Bellewstown (12.2f, good) on Flat debut 37 days ago.

Forecasts
Calais (11/10), Shaool (5/2), Alinta (11/2), Gaoth Chuil (6/1), Sissi (7/1), Ina Mina (10/1), Theflyingbee (28/1), Parish Express (125/1)
CALAIS has seemingly had her share of issues to be making her debut at this stage but her pedigree rather leaps off the page and she won't need to be out of the ordinary to win this. Shaool and Ina Mina are perhaps the pick of those with experience.
