Darknessintlight⁷²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-8| J: Gavin Brouder⁽⁷⁾| T: Mrs M Whelehan

150/1

Well beaten in each of her three starts to date including here last time out and she looks particularly vulnerable in this sort of contest.

Form: 00-0

Lady Kimberley^h1²³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: W J Lee| T: W T Farrell

100/1

Cape Cross filly, cost €62,000 as a yearling. Well beaten on each of her first two starts and has plenty of improvement to find to get involved. Wears a first-time hood.

Form: 0-9

(13)

The Bittern Cry⁷⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: J A Heffernan| T: G Keane

100/1

Some promise in her debut as a three-year-old but well beaten in two starts this time around and likely to be vulnerable conceding weight to a bunch of unexposed three-year-olds.

Form: 0-88

(16)

Ancestral

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Colin Keane| T: G M Lyons

5/2

Bated Breath filly, half-sister to a Group 2 winner amongst some other useful sorts and dam was a 1,000 Guineas winner. Plenty to like about her pedigree and yard can ready a debutante. Leading contender.

Arayacan

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: R Coakley⁽³⁾| T: P W Flynn

50/1

Arakan filly, half-sister to 7f winner. Dam a juvenile winner over middle distances. Probably best watched on debut.

Form:

(3)

Banrion Fuar

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Rory Cleary| T: T Collins

50/1

Power filly, half-sister to five winners and dam a half-sister to a Group 2 winner over further. Makes some appeal on pedigree and market likely to reveal expectations on debut.

(5)

Droichead Atha^h¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: K J Leonard⁽³⁾| T: D Kinsella

150/1

Well beaten on each of her three career starts and hard to fancy here after she was tailed off over this trip last time over 1m.

Form: 907

(18)

Jo Binney¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Gary Carroll| T: J C McConnell

100/1

Epaulette filly, cost €25,000 as a yearling. Half-sister to eight winners including the useful Ajman King. Dam a winner. Well beaten on debut at Dundalk earlier in the month but she's well bred and may do better here.

Form: 9

(17)

Nite Irene

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: C P Hoban| T: Barry J Murphy

100/1

Society Rock filly, half-sister to two winners including a Listed winner. Dam a juvenile winner over this trip. Makes some appeal on paper and the market can reveal expectations here.

Park Bloom²⁸

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

7/4

Galileo filly, sister to Oaks winner and Group 3 winner. Half-sister to a Listed winner and dam a juvenile winner. Has run well on each of her three starts and not beaten far at Gowran Park last month when second of 14. Each-way claims.

Form: 442

(7)

Patrice's Wish¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: R P Downey| T: J C McConnell

66/1

Some promise in her first couple of starts but ruined her chance at the start when rearing out of the stalls at Bellewstown last time out. Others preferred.

Form: 4-58

(12)

Pearl Delta¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Ronan Whelan| T: J M Ryan

50/1

Improved from her Naas debut when fifth of 12 at Dundalk last time out but plenty more needed in this company.

Form: 9-5

(4)

Proud And Elated²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: D O'Brien| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 73| BF

7/1

Still a maiden after eight starts but only narrowly denied at Tipperary last time out when runner-up. A reproduction of that gives her each-way claims again.

Form: 634332

(6)

Ten Joys²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: T P Madden⁽⁵⁾| T: J C Hayden| OR: 58

50/1

Well beaten on both starts as a juvenile and failed to beat a rival home on her reappearance at Naas last time. Plenty to prove at present.

Form: 07-6

(14)

Vintage Teardrop³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Chris Hayes| T: J A Stack

33/1

Fastnet Rock filly, full-sister to a winner over this trip and half-sister to four more winners. Dam an Irish Oaks winner who won as a juvenile. Well beaten on debut but should come on for that and drop back in trip may suit.

Form: 7

(1)

Vivianite^t¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: S Foley| T: M Halford| OR: 78

4/1

Holding her form relatively well in her four starts and only beaten 1L at Tipperary last time out in maiden company. She has claims if she can settle better.

Form: 5-552

(2)

Zarena¹⁴⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Declan McDonogh| T: D K Weld

7/1

Rock Of Gibraltar filly, dam placed in Group company over 1m4f. Eye-catching debut at Dundalk last time and likely to take a sizable step forward here.

Form: 4

Forecasts

Park Bloom (7/4), Ancestral (5/2), Vivianite (4/1), Proud And Elated (7/1), Zarena (7/1), Angelorum (10/1), Vintage Teardrop (33/1), Ten Joys (50/1), Banrion Fuar (50/1), Pearl Delta (50/1), Arayacan (50/1), Patrice's Wish (66/1), Lady Kimberley (100/1), Jo Binney (100/1), The Bittern Cry (100/1), Nite Irene (100/1), Darknessintlight (150/1), Droichead Atha (150/1)

ZARENA could be the one to side with here after her promising debut at Dundalk last time out and the step up to 1m should suit. Both Proud And Elated and Park Bloom have each-way claims with the latter preferred after an improved run at Gowran Park last time.
