Just two runs so far for the daughter of Requinto and hard to have confidence having failed to beat a rival home last time out on the AW at Dundalk over this trip.

Lope De Vega mare is a half-sister to 6f/6.7f winner Penny Serenade, wears hood for this debut outing and doesn't make significant appeal on paper.

Dark Angel filly was a €45,000 yearling purchase, related to multiple winners over 6f/7f, could go well, though may need this starting point.

13/2

Camelot filly, bit disappointing last week at Cork when favourite in 1m2f maiden, her fourth start. Capable of doing a lot better for top connections.

Shamardal filly, races in the colours of and is a related to Derby winner Harzand, should be capable of strong first showing for Dermot Weld.

Forecasts

Wisdom Mind (3/1), Most Gifted (10/3), Athena (13/2), Hasimiyya (7/1), Redhawk (8/1), Darkness Falls (8/1), Side Effect (8/1), Mnemonic Alexander (10/1), Kodi Koh (14/1), Tauriel (16/1), Angelorum (25/1), Kanthaka (25/1), Passing Trade (33/1), Spanish Verse (50/1), Idalia (50/1), Muinineach (50/1), Cavaquinho (100/1), Dearcan (100/1)

WISDOM MIND found only one too good on debut for this trainer last time out having shown promise in France previously. The half-sister to Barney Roy can improve and take this. Athena should be more at home down in trip and was promising on debut. The newcomers are feared, with Side Effect, Hasimiyya and Most Gifted all likely sorts. Darkness Falls is entered in the Oaks and rates a potential improver.
