Fastnet Rock filly makes plenty appeal on paper, trainer no stranger to having one ready and excellent pilot booked. Worth a look in the market.

Dutch Art filly would be highly respected if the market suggests it, though jockey bookings suggest she's the stable second string in this.

Hasn't beat a rival home in two prior runs at the track, not one to be supporting on form.

Well held here in a 7f maiden last month, much work to do if going to get involved in the scrap for places now.

Three runs behind her, most recent of which was over C&D and boasted some degree of potential.

Well beaten sole previous run over 7f on turf at Leopardstown eight months ago. One to watch for now.

Struggled in pair of turf outings over 6f at the Curragh in the autumn, upped in trip for AW bow.

Slowly away and never landed a blow on debut at this trip, adopted prominent tactics second time over sharper trip and faded out of contention. Hard to fancy.

Should be better than she showed on debut at the Curragh in August when still with David Wachman, first run for new trainer and very much worth a look in the market.

4/7
Holy Roman Emperor filly finished runner-up last month over 7f, beating all bar the hot favourite. Up to the mile, she's the one to beat.

Forecasts

Zinat (4/7), Tobacco Bay (3/1), Katouna (12/1), Fireflies (12/1), Main Pulse (14/1), Secret Memories (16/1), Passionatta (20/1), Musk Mallow (33/1), Lavinuela (50/1), Kitsune (100/1)

Verdict

ZINAT did enough on debut last month over 7f to suggest she'll grab this prize for last year's winning trainer/jockey combination. She holds some of these rivals on that form already and with likely improvement forthcoming will take some stopping. Tobacco Bay is very much respected on first start for new trainer and should be checked in the market. Main Pulse is best-placed of the others that have already run while Katouna and Fireflies are other newcomers worth respecting. 1. Zinat 2. Tobacco Bay 3. Katouna
