Shaped better than in previous starts when eight of 14 at Ballinrobe (1m2f, good) last time. More needed if she's to take this however.

Run well in four maiden races so far including two for this yard in 2017. Finished runner-up over an extended 1m3f at Roscommon (good-to-yielding) last time and likely to run well again here.
Wore a tongue tie when finishing 23L ninth of ten on debut over 1m at The Curragh (good-to-firm) last month. Others look more likely winners of this.

Finished last in both maiden starts so far. Most recent of those came at Gowran Park last month and likely to struggle here.
Finished runner-up in two maidens so far. Latest of those came over 1m2f at Roscommon (good-to-yielding) last month and looks likely to run well again in this contest.

Unraced daughter of Getaway out of an unraced mare. Yard not known for their maiden winners and probably best watched on debut.

Good debut when finishing third of 17 over an extended 1m1f at Gowran Park (yielding) last month. Hood worn on that occasion is left off today and one for the shortlist stepping up in trip for a stable who can boast a 26% strike-rate recently (13/50).

Unraced home-bred daughter of Power. Half-sister to useful Flat performer Little White Lie amongst others but probably best watched on her debut.

Run well in both starts so far most recently when third over 1m2f at Fairyhouse (good-to-yielding) two months ago. Tackles this trip for the first time today and an interesting runner here.

Made a promising debut when finishing runner-up over 1m at The Curragh (good-to-firm) last month. Is a half-sister to the useful pair Mourilyan and Mourayan and pedigree suggests this step up in trip should suit.

40/1
Unraced daughter of Helmet purchased for 24,000gns as a yearling in November 2015. Half-sister to a number of winners including US Grade 2 winner Valbenny but likely to benefit from the experience here.
Ran well when finishing third over 1m2f at The Curragh (good) on debut in May. Well held at Gowran Park since and interesting to see how she fares here.

Forecasts

Lady Nathaniel (9/4), Flaming Sea (4/1), Muniza (4/1), High Language (6/1), Dawn Choir (7/1), Spring Garden (7/1), Highest Power (25/1), Clementina (33/1), My Pal Amelia (40/1), Getaway Queen (40/1), Ali's Girl (50/1), Bridie Healy (100/1)

Verdict

HIGH LANGUAGE ran well when finishing third on her debut last month and she can register her first victory in this maiden contest. The selection represents a yard in good form at present and she can take this 1m4f event. Muniza hails from a family of tough stayers and Dermot Weld's charge can finish second stepping up markedly in trip having finished runner-up on her debut last month while Dawn Choir, runner-up on both of her appearances so far and Lady Nathaniel who has put in two decent efforts in maiden company are others worthy of consideration.
  1. High Language
  2. Muniza
  3. Dawn Choir
