A New Dawn¹³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: S M Crosse⁽⁵⁾| T: J P O'Brien

11/4

By Zoffany out of a 2-y-o 5f winner, herself a half-sister to Irish Oaks winner Bracelet. Shaped very well when an unlucky fifth of 13 to Albigna in a 6f maiden at the Curragh, and looks certain to progress, so shortlisted.

Form: 5

Blissful

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

5/1

Galileo half-sister to black type performers Gustav Klimt, Cuff and Mars, from family of Invincible Spirit. Has a superb pedigree, and of obvious interest for top connections on debut.

Cayenne Pepper

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Shane Foley| T: Mrs J Harrington

6/1

Australia half-sister to 2-y-o 5f winner Seyaady and 7f-1m3f winner Just Because, out of a useful 7f-1¼m winner. Cost 195,000 gns, and yard can ready one, so needs a market check ahead of debut.

Love

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

11/4

Full-sister to useful 1¼m-1½m winner Flattering and 2-y-o 7f/1m winner Peach Tree, and half-sister to Group 2 Lowther Stakes winner Lucky Kristale. Looks the pick of powerful yard's runners on jockey bookings, and entitled to maximum respect.

Petite Mustique

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

13/2

€1,100,000 full-sister to G1 Criterium International winner Johannes Vermeer and useful 7f-9f winner Elizabeth Browning, out of a 2-y-o 6f winner. One of three beautifully bred newcomers for the yard, and the market will help sort them out.

Sasvana¹²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Billy Lee| T: K J Condon

20/1

8,000 gns Havana Gold filly. Showed ability when 6¾L ninth of 15 to Daughter In Law in a 5f maiden at the Curragh recently, but much more needed here.

Form: 9

Too Soon To Panic

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Chris Hayes| T: J A Stack

8/1

By Gleneagles out of Phoenix Sprint Stakes winner Scream Blue Murder, who has already produced useful 7f winner Wargrave. In a tough race for racecourse bow, but yard is 2-8 with juvenile newcomers this year, and not discounted.

Forecasts

A New Dawn (11/4), Love (11/4), Feminista (7/2), Blissful (5/1), Cayenne Pepper (6/1), Petite Mustique (13/2), Too Soon To Panic (8/1), Sasvana (20/1), Mono Loco (33/1)

Aidan O'Brien saddles no fewer than three impeccably-bred youngsters here, and any of them could be smart. The riding arrangements suggest that LOVE is the pick ahead of Blissful and Petite Mustique, and without the benefit of market clues she's given a tentative nod over A New Dawn, who showed plenty behind Albigna last month and is sure to progress. Albigna was a winning debutant for Jessie Harrington, so her expensive purchase Cayenne Pepper also needs a second look in what will be an informative contest.
