Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: S M Crosse⁽⁵⁾| T: J P O'Brien

8/1

Filly by Australia out of a Kingmambo mare. Yard in decent form round here since the turn of the year, including a 12/1 winner seven days ago. Worth a market check.

11/4

125,000 guineas as a yearling before costing 48,000 guineas as a two-year-old. Plenty to like about debut run over C&D in November and a major player if in a similar mood.

Form: 4-

16/1

Yeats filly, bred to want plenty further than a mile. Well held in three disappointing starts to date and others preferred right now.

Firey Flower

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

6/1

Filly by The Lemon Drop Kid out of a Pivotal mare. Market likely to reveal expectations on debut here.

Halcyon Gal⁴²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: C P Hoban| T: P J Flynn

50/1

March foal by Camacho out of a Hawk Wing mare. Well beaten in two starts to date, and handicaps will be a more viable option after another run.

Form: 80-

Instantaneous¹⁰⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: D E Sheehy⁽⁵⁾| T: A McNamara

50/1

Camacho filly out of a Dr Fong mare. Cost €12,000 as a yearling, not disgraced on first couple of starts to date but improvement needed on return to action.

Katie Blue

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Gary Halpin| T: M O'Callaghan

28/1

Filly by Rock Of Gibraltar out of a Verglas mare. Cost €8,500 as a yearling and best watched in the market on debut.

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Shane Foley| T: M Halford

14/1

Slade Power filly cost €30,000 as a yearling half-sister to seven winners including a US Grade Three scorer over 1m. Appears to be getting the hang of things in a couple of spins towards the end of the year and one for the shortlist.

Lovee Dovee

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Seamie Heffernan| T: J P O'Brien

5/2

Galileo filly out of a Sunday Silence mare. Likely to be popular in the betting owned by influential racing family.

Mischiffie²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Robbie Colgan| T: N Slevin

10/1

Not disgraced in a couple of career starts to date but gives the impression she will be liable to find a couple stronger in races.

Form: 5-5

Paris Duvet¹²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: T P Madden⁽³⁾| T: H De Bromhead

33/1

Will need to improve on desolate debut run at Naas in September. Hard to construct much of a case for the filly here.

Rain Or Shine¹⁰⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: N G McCullagh| T: C O'Brien

25/1

Zoffany filly ran well for a ling time on debut at the Curragh over 7f when 10th of 23 after fading late on, before an improved display at Cork when last seen in October. Looks a tall order.

Serenely^t⁴²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Alan Persse⁽⁷⁾| T: J P O'Brien

8/1

Filly by Australia out of a Danehill mare. Promising run on debut when fourth of 14 beaten 6L over C&D last month. Can be expected to improve here.

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: M A Gallagher| T: A McGuinness

Has produced a bunch of inadequate runs since debut in November and likely to disappoint once again in this company.
