Sent off at 66/1 for Leopardstown debut last month over this trip and well beaten off, finishing eighth of ten. Plenty more called for now.
Filly out of Galileo could finish only fifth on debut at Leopardstown last month, behind Active Approach, powerful yard whose 2yos normally improve for a run and not to be dismissed.
Filly out of Zoffany, she was beaten over 6L into third on debut over this trip at Roscommon, may be capable of improving on that effort.
Dawn Approach filly was just headed in the closing stages over 6f at the Curragh in June on racecourse bow, off since and should be a leading player in this.
Plenty to work on having been well beaten at Naas in June over 6f on sole start to date. Others look more likely in this field.
Was under pressure a long way from home on debut at Tipperary last month over 7½f and duly faded to finish 22L last. Best watched for now.
Debut effort at the Curragh in June was a tame one, represents the King of Ballybrit but things could prove tougher for the Weld team this year given yard's recent form.
Arcano filly cost 44,000 gns as a yearling, finished a never dangerous fourth of 11 over 6f at the Curragh last month on debut. Possible there will be improvement forthcoming here.
Galileo filly, half-sister to Thunder Moon and dam a sister to Grade 3 winner Smart Surprise, found just one too good at Newmarket on second start 17 days ago. Represents Ballydoyle and looks the pick of two for the trainer in this.
Better effort on second start last month at Tipperary when upped to 7½f, though still leaves daughter of Intense Focus with a bit to find if hoping to land this prize.

Forecasts
Sizzling (7/4), Conquest (3/1), Raynama (9/2), Active Approach (5/1), Moghamarah (7/1), Daliyah (8/1), Shekiba (9/1), Cocohulababy (20/1), Alpine Queen (40/1), Mojambo (40/1), Pockit Rock It (40/1), Taylor Velvet (66/1)
Moghamarah made an encouraging start at the Curragh over a shorter trip in June and is very much respected coming here now but this might go the way of SIZZLING. The daughter of Galileo was a beaten favourite at Newmarket last month on second start but she may have bumped in a decent animal there and can grab this prize for the in-form Ballydoyle team. Raynama is worth noting give her trainer's record here, though she has improvement to find, while Conquest and Active Approach complete the shortlist.
