Dark Waters

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Ronan Whelan| T: P J Prendergast

18/1

Raven's Pass filly may want further test of stamina than is on offer here for debut, yard doesn't tend to have a lot of winners at this track.

Form: 7

Fille Du Septembre

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: P J Smullen| T: D K Weld

13/8

Well-bred filly represents a powerful trainer/jockey team and should command maximum respect for her racecourse bow, no surprise should she go well.

In The Dip

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Gary Halpin⁽³⁾| T: P Martin

33/1

Lilbourne Lad filly is bred for this kind of speed test, trainer has above average strike rate on AW and was amongst winners here recently.

Form: 530

Lady Evanna

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: C P Hoban| T: D Hogan

33/1

Bred to stay a good bit further than this. Recent trainer form isn't the greatest and she's probably best watched on debut unless the market speaks in her favour.

Form: 9

Sandbanks Road

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Shane Foley| T: Madeleine Tylicki

16/1

Is bred to go well in sprints, rookie trainer is more noted for jumps so far but could go well with what is just her third AW runner.

Sirici

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: K K Hennessy⁽⁷⁾| T: J A Stack

10/1

Choisir filly whose breeding suggests 5f will be within her compass and trainer was amongst the winners last weekend.

Form: 211

Social Butterfly

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Billy Lee| T: W McCreery

5/1

Another that should have few problems with the pace on breeding, trainer's record of 1/47 at this track in the last 12 months is perhaps more disconcerting however.

Form: 44

(5)

Stormy Tale

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Gary Carroll| T: M Mulvany

33/1

An inexpensive yearling out of Storm River, her trainer hasn't brought many to this venue of late though she is entitled to her chance in an open field.

Form:

Summerseat Mist

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Shane Kelly⁽³⁾| T: M O'Callaghan

16/1

Dandy Man filly was a €35,000 yearling and should be ok at this trip on breeding, trainer holds a fair strike rate at the track too.

Form: 332

(7)

Tuamhain

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Chris Hayes| T: K Prendergast

2/1

A very well-bred filly and she should have all the attributes to be competitive on racecourse bow, one of the more likely types in a field of newcomers.

Form: 0

Forecasts

Fille Du Septembre (13/8), Tuamhain (2/1), Social Butterfly (5/1), Sirici (10/1), Summerseat Mist (16/1), Sandbanks Road (16/1), Dark Waters (18/1), In The Dip (33/1), Stormy Tale (33/1), Lady Evanna (33/1)

No form to go on so the market vibes will be key to this race. Last year's winning trainer/jockey combination look set for another big push here with FILLE DU SEPTEMBRE, who is bred to be quick and is sure to be ready for this opening test given her master-trainer's record. Equally inviting on paper are the claims of Tuamhain, who has plenty winning sprint form on her page. Sirici is another for whom speed shouldn't be a concern and her trainer is in good form. Sandbanks Road is a rare runner here for her trainer while Summerseat Mist is also worthy of note.
