Sinndar filly from strong powerful yard. Beaten a head on debut and just over 4L last time out here last month, the filly must be respected in first-time tongue tie and blinkers.

66/1

Bullet Train filly, no impression over 1f out, kept on one pace on debut at the Galway festival when ninth of 14 and would have been a valuable experience.

12/1

6,500 gns yearling, Rip Van Winkle filly is nicely bred for this challenge and related to multiple winners, but didn't build on promising second of 17, next time out at Gowran Park. Worth another chance here though.

Nicely bred daughter of Fastnet Rock, but has not trained on, beaten over 10L on her last four starts. Interesting that a stable such as this is prepared to continue their perseverance.

Teofilo filly found only one too good on debut, but has since struggled. Shoots of promise last time out at Leopardstown, but not a great deal to get excited about.

Forecasts

Alaykha (9/4), Dawn Choir (3/1), High Language (5/1), Rickrack (11/2), For The Roses (10/1), Dream Sleep (12/1), Persina (12/1), Vienna Circle (14/1), Decision Time (18/1), Mariora (20/1), Remembered Joy (33/1), Ruby Quest (33/1), Clementina (66/1), Kates Doll (66/1), Desert Train (66/1), Rosmarine (100/1)

Jessica Harrington's Rickrack, Dawn Choir and Dream Sleep could contest for the lead here. The early tactics could come in to play for the likes of High Language, grand performance when third of 12 at the Galway festival and could feature here and the selection, ALAYKHA, must be respected in first-time tongue tie and blinkers.
