Never finished higher than sixth in four starts at the track and this step up to 1m did not suit last month when finishing ninth of 14.

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Rory Cleary| T: N Meade

6/1

€8,500 foal by Champs Elysees is half sister to a 7f-1m4f winner out of a dam who won at two. Well held on debut at the Curragh in August and first time blinkers unlikely to bring about the required amount of improvement needed to play a role here.

33/1

March foal by Camacho out of a Hawk Wing mare. One pace in final furlong on debut over 1m here last month when finishing eighth of 14. Others make more appeal.

Lady Cedar^h1⁴⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: N G McCullagh| T: J M Oxx

11/2

Exceed and Excel, her dam has produced multiple winners including at Group-race level. Will look to improve for the fitting of a first-time hood following disappointing debut when last seen in October.

Midnight Geisha

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Robbie Colgan| T: H De Bromhead

25/1

Filly by Gale Force Ten out of a Crococo Rouge mare. Market likely to be the best guide on debut here for a yard without a juvenile winner on the AW this year.

8/1

Promising third of 16 beaten 1¼L in a Gowran Park maiden last month over this trip on soft to heavy ground before a promising 4¼L defeat over 1m here last month. Not to be taken lightly.

Serenely^t1

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

Filly by Australia out of a Danehill mare. Worth a market check on debut from a yard who are seven from 43 with their youngsters on the AW this term.

First Reserve: Filly by Acclamation out of a Giant's Causeway mare. Plenty to like about debut run over C&D last month and could be interesting if making the line-up.

Forecasts

Lafayette Hill (5/1), Commodus (11/2), Lady Cedar (11/2), Dinard Rose (6/1), Serenely (8/1), Porterinthejungle (8/1), Unabridged (10/1), Beethoven's Gal (11/1), Easy Come Easy Go (12/1), Sea Sister (14/1), Quare Lucky (16/1), Midnight Geisha (25/1), Sword Of Arakan (25/1), Lighthouse Lady (25/1), Halcyon Gal (33/1), All About Maddy (40/1), Gin Bramble (50/1)

SERENELY can land the spoils on debut in the opener for a yard that boasts a 47% win and place strike rate at the track in December over the last three years. The Australia filly can hold off the attentions of the John Oxx-trained Lady Cedar and the potential improver in the contest, Lafayette Hill.
