Sinndar filly is nicely bred and must be respected representing Rosewell House team here with jockey currently in excellent vein of form.

6/1

Filly has run well in four maidens thus far, including this month over 1m (good) at Leopardstown and she may improve again for step up in trip.

Form: 00-23

Awareness^t²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: N G McCullagh| T: Mrs J Harrington

9/1

Better effort on last month's return from winter layoff when beaten around 8L over 1m4f (good) at Tipperary. Still needs a bit more but is entitled to come forward for that run and represents much-respected yard.

Form: 0-4

Dawn Of A New Era¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: K J Manning| T: J S Bolger| OR: 75

14/1

Fair to say the Dawn Approach filly hasn't exactly matched expectations thus far. Started out as ab also-ran in Group races last autumn but has struggled in a couple of maidens since coming back in. Tackles this sort of trip for the first time now, hard to be confident despite trainer being in form.

Form: 769-66

Dalakhani filly should have no issues with the trip on debut, represents talented young trainer and is definitely worth paying attention to in the betting.

€410,000 Galileo yearling out of a talented 5f/6f winner, breeding is top notch and will be noted how the market perceives chance on debut.

Kalamriyda²⁰

50/1

Very poor in pair of maidens so far at Tipperary (1m1f, yielding) and Navan (1m5f, good) and despite lofty connections, is very hard to fancy at this point in time.

Lovemenot³¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: W J Lee| T: W McCreery| BF

5/4

Teofilo filly has made a bright start in two maidens thus far over extended 1m1f, most recently going down by the slenderest of margins on softish ground at Gowran Park last month. Steps up in distance here and if handling likely faster ground, is the one to beat.

Form: 32

Pavlenko^p⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Anastasia O'Brien⁽³⁾| T: A P O'Brien| OR: 80

5/1

Slow to break in first two starts, she recovered well in second of those to finish close third over 1m at Leopardstown and since been heavily tried in Group 3 over 1m4f on good to firm ground at Cork. Drops in class again now and improved effort expected for top yard.

Form: 0-38

Pearl Of The West²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: D E Hogan⁽⁷⁾| T: P A Fahy| OR: 76

7/1

Filly ran well enough in a 1m2f handicap at Leopardstown off a mark of 76 on return from a layoff to suggest she can go well back in maiden company.

Form: 064-4

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: D M Simmonson⁽⁷⁾| T: Miss S J Harty

33/1

Very poor in two maidens last summer at up to 1m, returns from a layoff now with plenty to prove returning here over this longer trip and others make plenty more appeal.

Forecasts

Lovemenot (5/4), Pavlenko (5/1), Artistic Melody (6/1), Pearl Of The West (7/1), Awareness (9/1), Irish Sea (12/1), Alaykha (14/1), Dawn Of A New Era (14/1), Nuqood (14/1), French Mix (33/1), Sonic Wind (33/1), Kalamriyda (50/1), Susan (50/1), Maladh (66/1)

Lovemenot has gone very well in two starts already and looks certain to be off the mark sooner rather than later. The Teofilo filly represents a trainer and jockey going well and it won't come as any surprise should she continue what has been a brilliant week for Godolphin by taking this. A chance is given to PAVLENKO however, she was tried in the Munster Oaks last time out by her master-trainer and this represents a significant drop in class. Assuming she gets away on good terms, the daughter of Deep Impact ought to give this a real go. Artistic Melody is another worth a look on form while money behind newcomers Alaykha or Irish Sea would be notable.
