Lightly-raced filly with little in the formbook so far, poor run at Gowran Park this month and others look more likely at this stage.

Under Blue Sky²⁴

Not great form in two runs at Gowran Park and Leopardstown either side of winter layoff, may do better handicapping.

Forecasts

Silk Forest (2/1), Bodhicitta (5/2), Kalanoura (11/4), Magic Fountain (9/2), Never Shy Away (14/1), Dean Street Doll (16/1), Risaalaat (20/1), Pursuit Of Magic (25/1), Feather Step (25/1), Under Blue Sky (50/1), Amareddy (66/1), Autumn Mist (66/1), Vita Veritas (66/1), La Derniere Fois (100/1), Aneczka (100/1), Mianna (100/1)

Having settled for second best on debut at Leopardstown, there's an excellent chance that SILK FOREST will improve here. The form of that initial run has already been boosted and Billy Lee's mount will be tough to stop if building on her initial experience. Kalanoura was a shade unfortunate when second on the AW at Dundalk back in the winter and rates another with standout claims while Ballydoyle's Magic Fountain is very likely to leave a disappointing debut behind. Bodhicitta and Pursuit Of Magic complete the shortlist.
