100/1

Daughter of Excelebration and a second foal out of a French AW winner. Doesn't catch the eye on breeding and unable to pose any threat on this month's Gowran Park debut. Unlikely sort.

Galileo filly. Sister to three winners, including smart 1m3f winner Lahinch Classics and useful winner up to 1m4f Aim True. Betting will reveal plenty for top yard on debut.

11/10

Galileo filly, full-sister to useful 1m2f-1m4f winner Flattering and two-year-old 7f/1m winner Peach Tree. Bit disappointing this month in 7f Leopardstown maiden debut, though should have more to offer.

Love (11/10), Windracer (11/4), Innervisions (7/1), Ennistymon (11/1), Meeting (14/1), Divine Celt (20/1), Ya Ya Baby (25/1), Fran (33/1), Mia Figilia (33/1), Pepper Sprout (33/1), Taggalo (50/1), Gulf Of Aidan (50/1), Footie (66/1), Mono Loco (66/1), Dashing Diamond (100/1)

Very little form to go on and so the nod goes to LOVE for Aidan O'Brien. She's well related and showed enough in her debut fourth to suggest she can go close now with likely improvement to come. Windracer, Ya Ya Baby and the selection's stablemate Meeting are all potential dangers on debut.
