High Chaparral filly, cost €25,000 as a yearling. Half-sister to four winners including a Group 1 winner. Green on debut at Cork but should improve here and gets the Champion Jockey in this saddle.

2/1

Sea The Stars filly, half-sister to a winner over this trip. Dam a half-sister to multiple classic winner Kazzia. Very interesting runner here and betting should be informative.

20/1

Teofilo filly, half-sister to two winners. Dam a sister to sprint winner. Holds an Irish Oaks entry but she was well beaten on debut and needs to improve dramatically. Yard in better form now at least.

Niku²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: C O'Donoghue| T: Mrs J Harrington

16/1

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: K J Manning| T: J S Bolger

7/1

Galileo filly, sister to Oaks winner and Group 3 winner. Half-sister to a Listed winner and dam a juvenile winner. Possibly needed the run on debut and likely to do better here. Holds an Irish Oaks entry.

16/1

Sea The Stars filly, half-sister to three winners and dam a winner up to 1m and half-sister to French 2,000 Guineas winner and Breeders' Cup mile winner Karakontie. Makes plenty of appeal on paper and market should reveal expectations.

Tauriel^h1²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: N G McCullagh| T: M Halford

50/1

Sea The Stars filly is a half-sister to several winners. Well beaten on debut here and first-time hood needs to have a big effect on her second start here.

Form: 0

Tissiak^t⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: D O'Brien| T: J P O'Brien

11/8

Fastnet Rock filly, half-sister to two Group winners. Very promising debut at Gowran Park and followed that up with another at Fairyhouse, runner-up on each run. That's strong form and a reproduction of that should see her go close.

Form: 22

Forecasts

Tissiak (11/8), Lure Of The Sea (2/1), Park Bloom (7/1), Attack At Dawn (14/1), Seize Your Star (16/1), Niku (16/1), Bongiorno (20/1), Miraculum (20/1), Dharma Rain (28/1), Last Mystery (33/1), Tauriel (50/1)

Another race in which Joseph O'Brien holds a strong hand and it's TISSIAK who sets a solid standard on form and is taken to get her head in front at the third attempt. Stablemate Seize Your Star makes plenty of appeal on paper and is a respected debutantee while similar can be said of Lure Of The Sea.
