Angelight^t³¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Declan McDonogh| T: J P O'Brien

12/1

325,000 gns yearling, Pinatubo filly. Tongue strap on, showed ability when seventh of 14 in maiden at Leopardstown (7.2f, good, 25/1) on debut last July. Absent since but she appeals as the type to do better as a 3-y-o.

Form: 7-

Candleford Green²¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Colin Keane| T: W P Mullins

7/4

Sea The Stars filly who was a rare 2-y-o runner for her top yard and she made an excellent start to her career when second of 13 in maiden at Leopardstown (7.1f, soft) on debut in October, thundering home. Looks sure to progress and step up to 1m looks firmly in her favour on return.

Form: 2-

Drama Queen^h1

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: P A Harnett⁽⁵⁾| T: Donnacha O'Brien

33/1

Wootton Bassett filly. Half-sister to 3 winners, including 1½m winner Queenstown and winner up to 9f Rain Goddess. Equipped with a hood for debut and interesting to see where she figures in the betting. (Yard also responsible for Sound Of Lightning).

Ethereal Star¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: J A Heffernan| T: M Hassett

200/1

Fastnet Rock filly. 125/1, shaped as if needing the experience when eleventh of 16 in maiden at Cork (10.4f, good) on debut 12 days ago. Down in trip now and she's probably one for the longer term.

Form: 0

Guarded²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: R L Moore| T: A P O'Brien| OR: 71

10/1

Thrice-raced filly. 8/1, eighth of 12 in maiden at this course (10.4f, good to soft) 20 days ago, weakening gradually final 1f. Step back down in trip rates a plus on that evidence but others appeal more for win purposes on balance.

Form: 7-88

(1)

Indigo Dream²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: W J Lee| T: R O'Sullivan| OR: 90

9/4

Fairly useful form at 2yrs and shaped as if she'd come forward from her reappearance run when 6 lengths second of 13 in maiden at Limerick (7f, soft) 23 days ago. No surprise to see her figure with that run under her belt.

Form: 7227-2

Lady Crossing¹¹

400/1

Nearer last than first in pair of maidens at up to 1m in recent weeks.

Lady In Paris²¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: S Foley| T: Mrs J Harrington| OR: 79| BF

10/1

Blue Point filly who progressed with each outing as a 2-y-o, well backed when fifth of 13 in maiden (11/4) at Leopardstown (7.1f, soft) in October. Another likely improver now kicking off her 3-y-o campaign.

Form: 635-

Lovely⁴²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: C Geerdharry⁽⁷⁾| T: D Dias| OR: 67

150/1

Thrice-raced filly who matched previous form after 9 months off when fifth of 11 in maiden at Cork (7f, good, 66/1) 42 days ago. Handicaps will be more her bag moving forward

Form: 50-5

(12)

Shakazia^h1,t1²¹¹

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

20/1

Once-raced filly. 12/1, very green when tenth of 13 in maiden at Leopardstown (7.1f, soft) on debut in October. Entitled to progress with that under her belt with hood/tongue tie reached for ahead of return.

Form: 0-

Sindria²²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: L F Roche| T: D K Weld

14/1

Kodiac filly. Closely related to 9f winner Chelsea Square. Sent off at long odds and given a considerate introduction when seventh of 16 in maiden (50/1) at the Curragh (7f, good to soft) on debut in October. Should do better as a 3-y-o.

Form: 7-

(5)

Sound Of Lightning²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: G M Ryan| T: Donnacha O'Brien| BF

13/2

Fastnet Rock filly who went the wrong way from her promising debut third when tenth of 20 in maiden (7/4) at Navan (10.1f, soft) 22 days ago. However, the fact she lost a front shoe on that occasion offers some mitigation and she's worth another chance.

Forecasts

Candleford Green (7/4), Indigo Dream (9/4), Hanamaya (11/4), Sound Of Lightning (13/2), Guarded (10/1), Lady In Paris (10/1), Angelight (12/1), Sindria (14/1), Shakazia (20/1), Drama Queen (33/1), Malpeque (100/1), Lovely (150/1), Ethereal Star (200/1), Lady Crossing (400/1)

CANDLEFORD GREEN was a fascinating rare 2-y-o runner for her top stable and produced a highly promising first effort when going down narrowly in a Leopardstown maiden on debut back in the autumn. The way she finished off that day suggests this increase in trip (and further still) will suit and she can confirm the promise of that run and make a winning return. Hanamaya, Sound of Lightning and Indigo Dream are other likely players, with Lady in Paris also expected to do better as a 3-y-o.
