Dragon Roll¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: Wayne Lordan| T: Mrs J Harrington| D

7/1

Very cheaply bought as a yearling, but was able to defy inexperience and an early bump when winning at Gowran Park on recent racecourse bow. Should do better again, and one to consider.

Form: 1

(6)

Fulminate²⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: Colin Keane| T: G M Lyons

9/4

By Charm Spirit out of Yorkshire Oaks winner Quiff, and made an impressive start when beating Coral Beach at Fairyhouse (6f) last month. Longer trip sure to suit, and merits plenty of respect despite a penalty.

Form: 1

(3)

Lady Kaya⁶⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Robbie Colgan| T: S Lavery

13/8

Just an ordinary pedigree, but she caught the eye when a staying-on third to Decrypt over 6f here in June, and looks sure to win races based on the impression she left there. Big chance if staying this longer trip.

Form: 3

(2)

Social Graces¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Billy Lee| T: W McCreery

25/1

Aussie Rules half-sister to middle distance performers Barye and Herrbiga. Not disgraced when seventh of 11 behind Dragon Roll on debut at Gowran Park, but plenty more required now.

Form: 7

(4)

Madam Seamstress

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: K J Manning| T: J S Bolger

16/1

Homebred sister to a 2-y-o winner over further, and hails from a powerful yard, but has no fancy entries and others preferred unless she is the subject of support.

Form:

(1)

Mary Salome

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: Chris Hayes| T: Madeleine Tylicki

50/1

Zebedee half-sister to several winners at a modest level, and picked up quite cheaply at the sales. Likely to need experience on debut, and others more compelling.

Form:

(5)

Pink Dogwood

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: R L Moore| T: A P O'Brien

4/1

Superb pedigree, being a sister to recent Irish Derby winner Latrobe, and cost €380,000 as a yearling, so clearly looks the part. Market will guide on debut for champion trainer.

Lady Kaya (13/8), Fulminate (9/4), Pink Dogwood (4/1), Dragon Roll (7/1), Madam Seamstress (16/1), Social Graces (25/1), Mary Salome (50/1)

Aidan O'Brien won this with a newcomer in 2015, and PINK DOGWOOD has a price-tag and pedigree which suggests she could be very good, being a full-sister to Latrobe who cost €380,000 gns as a yearling. She holds entries in the Debutante Stakes and the Moyglare Stud Stakes, as does Lady Kaya, who looked a good prospect when third on her racecourse bow here in June. Fulminate has to concede weight to that pair, but looks a good prospect herself, and this looks a race to savour.
