Foza³⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: Rory Cleary| T: P Byrne

50/1

Well held in a couple of bumpers recently and in a Navan maiden over 1m5f last month. Appears to be out of his depth here.

Form: 7

Lady Savanah²⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Robbie Colgan| T: T G McCourt

28/1

Vale of York filly well down the pack in a couple of career starts at Navan and Galway last month. Plenty to prove at present.

Form: 64

Emerald Eye^t1²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Gary Halpin| T: R O'Brien| OR: 69

33/1

Nothing of note in four career starts for previous connections and first time tongue-tie unlikely to bring about the required amount of progression needed to land a blow here.

Form: 4356-0

House Call³¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Shane Foley| T: Peter Fahey| OR: 67

4/1

Placed four times from seven starts for Jessica Harrington, including over C&D, at up to 1m2f but well held on a couple of starts for current connections at Galway and Gowran Park. One for the shortlist back at this venue.

Iseebreeze²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Killian Leonard⁽³⁾| T: R K Watson

50/1

Filly by Frozen Power out of a Diesis mare. Not disgraced on debut over C&D earlier this month but looks one who may require more time.

Form: 7

(10)

Lady Godiva^t¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: D E Sheehy⁽⁵⁾| T: L Smyth| OR: 61

25/1

A maiden after 19 starts and has struggled in claiming company on recent outings before a promising run back in handicap company on stable debut earlier this month. Worth a market check dropping in trip.

Form: 672484

Lady Maritime²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: C P Hoban| T: H De Bromhead

50/1

Midshipman filly. Well held on debut at Listowel in September before a more promising effort here over 1m2½f last month. Liable to find a couple stronger.

Form: 05

(6)

Lady Scathach²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Ross Coakley⁽³⁾| T: T G McCourt

33/1

Zoffany filly will need to improve on a couple of desolate efforts at Cork and Galway last month. Hard to place any faith in.

Form: 05

(5)

Letmebreeze²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Andrew Slattery⁽⁷⁾| T: C O'Dwyer

33/1

Fast Company filly out of a Titus Livius mare. Will need to raise overall performance to play a role here following two heavy defeats to date.

Form: 70

(2)

Pampushka

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: O J Orr⁽³⁾| T: R P Cody

7/1

Filly by So You Think out of a Dalakhani mare. Unlikely to be playing a part in the finish and is easily dismissed on debut.

Star Sapphire¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Seamie Heffernan| T: H De Bromhead

20/1

Filly by Mastercraftsman out of a Alzao mare. Will need to improve on a couple of dire efforts at Leopardstown and Naas recently. Others preferred.

Form: 07

Stranagone^b²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: N G McCullagh| T: T Collins| OR: 70

5/2

Runner-up on two occasions over C&D 12-months apart. Second of 11 beaten ½L earlier this month puts the Motivator filly firmly in the frame.

Form: 2-9852

(9)

Waterlemon Bay³⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Colin Keane| T: W McCreery

13/8

Promising starts at Cork and Leopardstown last month leaves the Curlin filly open to plenty of improvement in this contest.

Form: 63

Ishigati³¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Declan McDonogh| T: D K Weld| OR: 57

9/1

First Reserve: Solid and consistent, running well in defeat including at this venue hitting the frame over 6f. One to note if making the line-up.

Forecasts

Waterlemon Bay (13/8), Stranagone (5/2), House Call (4/1), Pampushka (7/1), Duquesa Beach (7/1), Ishigati (9/1), Star Sapphire (20/1), Lady Godiva (25/1), Lady Savanah (28/1), Lady Scathach (33/1), Emerald Eye (33/1), Letmebreeze (33/1), Foza (50/1), Iseebreeze (50/1), Lady Maritime (50/1)

The C&D form of STRANAGONE tips the scales here for the Tracey Collins trained filly over the promising Watermelon Bay, with the pair looking to be some way ahead of the rest of the field. The Peter Fahey-trained, House Call and former Joseph O'Brien-trained, Lady Godiva can fight for the remaining place, while Dermot Weld's Ishigati should be noted if making the line-up.
