Slight progress in each of her three starts to date, the last twice on AW at Dundalk over 6f. This demands more however and never involved on turf debut.
Not beaten far on debut at Naas when sixth but couldn't build on that with an uninspired 12th of 14 on AW at Dundalk. Hopefully the surface was an excuse but others make more appeal now.
Declaration Of War filly was tailed-off and last on debut at Fairyhouse in her only race back in the Spring. Hopefully show better now after the break but certainly needs to.
Improved form since switched to nurseries the last twice with close fourth at the Curragh (6½f) and third at Down Royal (7f). Ought to be capable of a big run here but vulnerable to less exposed types.
Much improved effort on second start when second of 20 at the Curragh. Beaten 5½L but the winner was pitched into Group One company next. Unlikely to meet one of that class here and has excellent claims.
Far from disgraced on debut at Naas over 6f when beaten 5¾L into ninth after a slow start. Bred to want further than this but still can improve and has place claims with that in mind.
€8,000 yearling son of Casamento is a half-sister to an Italian 1m1f winner out of a 1m winning dam. Represents a yard more than capable with first time out two-year-olds so market should be watched.
Respectable enough debut at Naas when 11th of 20 beaten 6L (Cosmic Jazz ninth). Like that filly she is entitled to plenty of improvement so expectant of a better run now.
Signs of progress of late with fourth of 12 at Navan over 5½f and second of 15 last time out at Fairyhouse over 6f. The most exposed runner in the contest but going the right way and merits respect.
Minor promise in two starts with an eighth of 10 at Galway and ninth of 12 at Fairyhouse but plenty to find here and best chance probably in handicaps after this.
Casamento filly went unsold as a yearling. Half-sister to five winners from 7f to 1m1f. Trainer has poor flat strike rate and no two-year-old winners this season.
Improved on 7f Leopardstown debut (10th) latest when third of 15 at Listowel over the same trip on heavy ground. Drops to extended 6f now but no real concerns in that respect and has to be on the shortlist here.
Cheap purchase ran a decent enough race on debut at Down Royal when seventh of 14 over 7f. Not concerned drop in trip will suit so plenty to prove overall.
Hard to glean any real positives from this unsold yearling's debut at Fairyhouse where she was detached in 13th of 15 in a hood. Loses that now but fully expect her to struggle again.

Mary Salome (5/2), Cruella Dovil (4/1), That's Not Me (5/1), Cosmic Jazz (7/1), Grace To Grace (11/1), Ifyouhaveaminute (14/1), She's My Dream (18/1), Hitchslap (20/1), Aloha Wish (22/1), Jennifleur (22/1), Pretty Fantasy (25/1), Beau Warrior (33/1), Giselles Mento (40/1), Cafe Sydney (66/1), Samurai Girl (66/1)
Not the strongest maiden you will see at this time of year and it represents an excellent opportunity for MARY SALOME who beat all bar a smart prospect in a Curragh contest that was probably stronger than this last time out. Grace To Grace is another who ran well on her second start when third so she too enters the equation as does That's Not Me who has made the frame in maidens the last twice.
