Best effort in three starts at two came when finishing runner-up over 5f at Naas (yielding) in October. Gelded during the winter and is one to note on today's seasonal debut.

Placed three times from six starts at two and probably found the trip to far when tackling 7f on is sole outing here. Wears blinkers for the first time today.

Unraced daughter of Cape Cross out of a 1m2f winner on the AW. Bred to stay further but worth a check in the market on racecourse debut.

Green and probably lost her race at the start when finishing last of 14 on racecourse debut here in December. Wears cheekpieces for the first time today.

Struggled in six outings so far including off a mark of 46 at Lingfield last time out. Others make more appeal.

Good effort in finishing fourth in a Group 1 at Newmarket (6f, good-to-soft) in September and also placed in a Listed contest last year. Likely to prove hard to beat on her first outing since finishing eighth at the Breeders Cup meeting in November.

Shaped as if in need of further when finishing sixth over 6f here on debut last month. Yard in good form at present but drop in trip is not certain to suit today.

Unraced daughter of Casamento and a full-sister to 5f winner Giselle's Charm. Interesting to see how she performs on today's racecourse debut.

Forecasts

Now You're Talking (2/7), Zeb City (5/1), Gottardo (7/1), Debatable (12/1), View The Bay (16/1), Very Smart (20/1), Miss Punctuality (40/1), Mrs Hitchcock (66/1)

Verdict

NOW YOU'RE TALKING brings strong Group form into this contest and with that in mind she can register her first victory for trainer Joseph O'Brien. The selection encountered some top class individuals last year and can get the better of Gottardo who has been gelded since his most recent outing. Debatable is making her racecourse debut today but represents useful connections and is taken to finish third.
