Trainer Jessica Harrington waited until May last year to run any of her juveniles on the AW and then only ran a couple including Chicas Amigas who won on debut at 11/1. The declaration of January foal, FOR THE TREES suggests the Ivawood filly has been showing plenty at home to be included here. Godolphin filly Ickworth appears to be the biggest danger for trainer Willie McCreery and jockey Billy Lee who landed the spoils 12 months ago with Jungle Jane. Given the form of the yard the Jim Bolger debutante Moments Linger requires special attention.
