Marge Gunderson^v1¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: L F Roche| T: E Lynam

50/1

Well beaten on all four starts and unfancied in the market as well. Makes no appeal unless first-time visor somehow does the trick.

Form: 0000

Theoneyouare^t1³⁵⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Robbie Colgan| T: J P Dempsey| OR: 45

66/1

Convincingly beaten on all her racecourse appearance as a three-year-old and comes here after a long lay off and under new connections. Tongue-tied first time may help but unlikely winner.

Form: 70670-

Call Me Dolly

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Gary Carroll| T: G P Cromwell

16/1

Half-sister to some winners including three mile hurdle winner Article Fifty. Hard to assess chances on breeding alone but market might provide clearer guide..

Crystal Dawn¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: J A Heffernan| T: J F O'Shea

50/1

Daughter of Rip Van Winkle; fourth foal and a half-sister to winner Aspen Mountain. Unraced for Coolmore last season. Poor show on racecourse debut in June at Gowran Park and others preferred.

Dame Kyteler⁹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: S Foley| T: Mrs J Harrington

1/1

€115,000 yearling by Acclamation who improved on her sole poor effort in 2018 when running much better at Leopardstown in April. Absence a slight concern but one to consider.

Form: 7-5

Designation⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: W J Lee| T: W McCreery| OR: 68

13/8

Not beaten too far on all her racecourse appearances and deserves to break her maiden tag. Unlucky over five furlongs last time out at Naas. Step up in trip not obviously ideal but could see her win this contest.

Form: 7638

Givemehopejoanna¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: M C Hussey| T: J M Burke

66/1

Slight improvement over this course and distance last time out but not really enough to give her more than an outside chance of landing this.

Form: 00

Midge Maisel

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Chris Hayes| T: S Lynam

12/1

Cost 15,000gns as a yearling; second foal; dam 1m6f winner, closely related to useful winners Baghdad and Pippa Greene. Market check recommended.

Russian Vine²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: M A Gallagher| T: R Brabazon

7/1

Has looked one-paced on both her racecourse appearances and will certainly need every yard of this trip. Unfancied on both start to date so any market moves would be interesting.

Forecasts

Dame Kyteler (1/1), Designation (13/8), Russian Vine (7/1), Midge Maisel (12/1), Call Me Dolly (16/1), Crystal Dawn (50/1), Marge Gunderson (50/1), Theoneyouare (66/1), Givemehopejoanna (66/1)

DESIGNATION looks the form pick in a race lacking in quality. While not possessing any great turn of foot, her consistency should see her finally winning a race before progressing to handicaps. Little else makes appeal with perhaps Dame Kyteler being the best of the rest if fit after a short absence. Midge Maisel might be the best of the unraced fillies.
