Auma

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: K J Manning| T: J S Bolger

9/1

Newcomer by Teofilo is a full-sister to 5f-1m winner Round Two (inc 2yo Listed) out of a 6f winner. From a top yard but one winless with turf two-year-olds at this point in 2019.

Auxilia

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Colin Keane| T: G M Lyons

11/4

€140,000 yearling newcomer from the first crop of Free Eagle (three winners in 15 runners so far) is a half-sister to four winners including 1m Listed scorer Ocean Tempest. Group One Moyglare entry from a top yard so merits respect.

Burren Orchid¹²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Nathan Crosse⁽⁵⁾| T: W McCreery

66/1

Once raced daughter of Footstepsinthesand was slowly away and never a factor on debut at Navan earlier this month; best watched on the back of that.

Form: 7

Camachita

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: N G McCullagh| T: J P Murtagh

25/1

Camacho newcomer closely related to winners Encrypted Message (7f/1m3f), Polished Rock (1m2f) & A Likely Story (6f turf/7f AW), half-sister to 3 more winners. Good pedigree but yard a little quite at present.

Chrysalism³⁴

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

14/1

Once raced daughter of Starspangledbanner was fourth on debut at Limerick last month which was a decent foundation to build from. She can improve here and have a say in the finish.

Form: 4

Dancing Beauty

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: P B Beggy| T: L Comer

66/1

Newcomer by Outstrip is half-sister to winners Galizzi (1m4f-2m Flat inc AW/2m hurdle), Ice Dancing (8.6f/9.4f AW) and Global Racing (2m6f/3m hurdle). Bred with stamina in mind so one for further down the line.

Form:

(3)

Deise Delight

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Ronan Whelan| T: M Halford

9/1

Newcomer by Australian sire Brazen Beau out of a dam successful over 1m. From a yard in fine form so can't be ruled out here and market support would add to her appeal.

Form:

(5)

Divine Celt²⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: L F Roche| T: M O'Callaghan

25/1

Filly by Lawman represents a yard well known for their exploits with two-year-olds but she looked in need of the experience when 12th of 15 on debut at the Curragh. Do better now but giant leap needed to trouble the judge.

Form: 0

One Voice³⁵

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

2/1

€55,000 yearling daughter of Poet's Voice found only one too good on debut over C&D just over a month ago and with progress now expected she sets a good standard for the newcomers to aim at.

Form: 2

(6)

Point Reyes¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Gary Carroll| T: G P Cromwell

14/1

Possibly made slight progress in her second career start here earlier in the month but that sixth of seven suggested her best watched with the future and handicaps in mind.

Form: 96

Red Lark

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: J A Heffernan| T: J P Murtagh

16/1

Unraced daughter of Epaulette retained by vendor for €12,000 as a yearling. Half-sister to 9 winners Flat/hurdles and looks the sort on pedigree for middle distances next year.

Form:

(12)

Saielah

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: C P Hoban| T: J P Murtagh

50/1

Newcomer by Dandy Man the first foal out of a 1m Fibresand winner was retained by the vendor at auction for €10,000 as a yearling. One of three from the yard so the betting ring may reveal the perceived pecking order.

Form:

Silver Spear

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Ben Coen⁽⁵⁾| T: A Slattery

14/1

By Clodovil and a half-sister to 6f-1m winner Creggs Pipes (inc Group 2). Yard 2-7 with two-year-olds this season and in good form on the whole so can't be ruled out here by any means.

Form:

White Winged Dove

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: W J Lee| T: W McCreery

14/1

Newcomer by this ownership's Karakontie whose first crop has produced Wesley Ward's Karak as a winner out of a US Grade One winning dam. Attractive pedigree and merits respect here.

Forecasts

One Voice (2/1), Auxilia (11/4), Deise Delight (9/1), Auma (9/1), Chrysalism (14/1), Silver Spear (14/1), Point Reyes (14/1), White Winged Dove (14/1), Red Lark (16/1), Camachita (25/1), Divine Celt (25/1), Saielah (50/1), Dancing Beauty (66/1), Burren Orchid (66/1)

As ever in such a race the newcomers are hard to gauge so by far and away the safest bet is Jessica Harrington's once raced ONE VOICE whose C&D second looks a solid standard for a race such as this. Of the newcomers only Auxilia has fancy entries so perhaps she is the one showing the most at home for the prolific Ger Lyons yard. White Winged Dove may prove best of the rest.
