Black Magic Woman¹¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: O J Orr⁽³⁾| T: J Davison

7/1

Camacho newcomer is half-sister to two winners both at two. Needs to improve on modest debut run at the Curragh to pay a role here.

Form: 6

Commodus

12/1

Dragons Call²³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: K J Manning| T: J Feane

5/1

Dragon Pulse filly, cost €6,000 as a foal. Too green on debut at Navan before improving to finish second of 10 beaten 3L at Naas last month. Likable type who should be in the mix.

Form: 52

Estrella²⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Declan McDonogh| T: D K Weld

5/1

Zoffany filly bought for €240,000 as a yearling last September. Half-sister to a number of winners including the classy Zhukova. Needs to improve on debut run at Leopardstown last month but worth a market check.

Form: 9

Gold Jasmine²²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Colin Keane| T: G M Lyons

9/2

Dragon Pulse half-sister to useful 6f-1m winner Haley Bop. Not beaten up when down the field on debut at Bellewstown before a promising second of six beaten ½L in a Leopardstown claimer last month. Open to plenty of improvement.

Form: 92

Mona Lisa's Smile⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: D O'Brien| T: A P O'Brien

4/1

War Front filly, sister to a 7f winner and 1m winner. Dam won the Irish 1,000 Guineas and the Epsom Oaks. Well held in a couple of starts to date including in a Listed event at Tipperary. Market likely to be the best guide.

Form: 07

Rathmoylan Cove²⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Ronan Whelan| T: M Halford

7/2

Kodiac half-sister to two winners from 6f-1m4f. Dam is an unraced half-sister to a Dubai World Cup winner. Nothing of note in a couple of career starts to date and needs to show some improvement soon.

Form: 68

First-time tongue-tie is reached for following a couple of below-par efforts over the summer. Hard to fancy on evidence given.

Forecasts

Rathmoylan Cove (7/2), Mona Lisa's Smile (4/1), Gold Jasmine (9/2), Dragons Call (5/1), Estrella (5/1), Black Magic Woman (7/1), Commodus (12/1), Scarlet Skis (25/1), Tough Tigress (33/1), Tosen Aisling (50/1)

A weak looking affair where the J J Feane-trained DRAGONS CALL wouldn't have to improve on her second of 10 in a Navan maiden to land the spoils here. The Dermot Weld runer, Estrella and Gold Jasmine from the in-form Ger Lyons yard are both open to plenty of improvement as is Black Magi Woman who could surprise at a price.
