By Lope De Vega, half-sister to 2m winner Newellen; dam Listed-placed 1m 2yo winner. Well down the field on debut at Leopardstown when last seen 12 months ago. Yard struggling of late and others preferred.
Filly by Big Bad Bob out of a Cape Cross mare. Cost €800 (Vendor) Dam 1m4f winner , closely related to 1m2f victor Joyful Spirit. Yard just one from 26 three-year-old runners since the middle of last month and best watched on debut.
Daughter of Jet Away out of a Duke Of Marmalade mare. Dam maiden from 7f - 1m4f. Half-sister to useful winners Amazing Beauty and Humungous. Unlikely to play a part in the finish.
Related to a host of winners at various trips including Flag Of Honour. 12/1 finished eighth of 20 beaten 6L on Leopardstown debut when last seen in October. Likely to come on for respected connections.
Filly by Kodiac out of a Mr Prospector mare. Short of room in the early stages of her debut eventually making eye-catching progress under a hands and heels ride at Leopardstown in October over 1m. Yard in excellent form.
Battle Of Marengo filly out of a Pivotal mare. Cost 1,000gns as a yearling and is likely to need plenty of time in the coming months.
By Paco Boy out of a Reset mare. Half-sister to 5f - 6f winner Red Baron Dancer. Wears a first-time hood on debut and others look more convincing.
Finished ½L behind Maria Christina on debut in a Leopardstown maiden over 1m on good to yielding ground when last seen in October. No guarantees to reverse placings.
Improved from debut when 7½L seventh of 11 to Fire Fly in 7½f maiden at Tipperary when last seen in August, despite seemingly stretched by the trip. Likely to be suited by switching to handicaps.
Filly by Galileo out of a Cape Cross mare. Second of 13 beaten a neck behind Merimbula on debut at Longchamp in October. Cost €1,000,000 in the December sales and likely to be a leading player here.
New Approach filly out of a Cape Cross mare. Dam Group placed 7f winner, half-sister to 5f two-year-old Group 2 victor Elletelle. Looks a long-term handicap prospect.
Filly by Kingman out of a Forty Niner mare. Closely related to 7f and 1m Listed winner One Spirit and 7f victor Some Spirit. Likely to be an exciting prospect with a couple of runs under her belt.
By Intikhab out of a Cape Cross mare. €8,000 (Vendor) as a yearling. Unraced dam closely related to 1m Group 1 winner Aqlaam. Yards debutantes often in need of the run.
Forecasts
Solage (9/4), Maria Christina (3/1), Four Leaf Clover (7/2), Quote (8/1), Basrah Breeze (12/1), Xcite (12/1), Tavrina (20/1), Afric (25/1), Reeking Havoc (50/1), Yalla Go (66/1), Pac To Black (80/1), Nicola's Fancy (100/1), Breathless Mahoney (100/1)
Trainer Dermot Weld boasts a 29% strike rate with his three-year-olds in the last month (five from 17) and the Kodiac filly MARIA CHRISTINA can improve on her fourth of 20 beaten 1¼L on debut at Leopardstown in October to land the spoils here. The Aiden O'Brien pair Quote and Four Leaf Clover can be expected to emerge as dangers along with the €1,000,000 Galileo filly, Solage for the Jim Bolger yard.
