Daughter of Yeats out of a Whitmore's Conn mare. Cost €5,000 as a three-year-old and worth a market check on debut given notable jockey booking.

Pulled up over 5f out on only bumper start to date at Tipperary in May before only getting as far as the first in a Listowel maiden hurdle last month. One to avoid.

Forecasts

Dolly Dancer (13/8), Villa Moura (7/2), Boragh Beat (9/2), Backsheesh (5/1), Janeymac (8/1), Run For Mary (12/1), So Lonely (14/1), My Friend Aoife (14/1), Rathmuck Minstrel (25/1), Eos (25/1), Urban Waltz (33/1), Come Back Nancy (33/1), Painted On The Sky (50/1), Mary's Girl (66/1)

The manner of the run of VILLA MOURA when taking closer order 5f out before keeping on well into third entering the final furlong in a Clonmel bumper leaves plenty of room for improvement to see the daughter of Yeats land the final race of the day. Backsheesh from the Thomas Mullins yard and potential improver So Lonely look the best of the most experienced runners, while the Patrick Mullins-ridden Dolly Dancer and Run For Mary from the Charles Byrnes yard can fly the flag for the debutantes'.
