8/1
Three-race maiden, not disgraced in the Group 3 Flame Of Tara stakes at the Curragh last month. This looks a lot easier.
Daughter of Galileo out of a Fastnet Rock mare. Dam won seven of her 19 Flat starts including three wins at Group 1 level in Australia running between 6f/7f. Yards juveniles going well this season and an intriguing newcomer.

Galileo filly out of triple Group One winner Halfway To Heaven who has already thrown two Group One winning full sisters to this filly in Magical and Rhododendron. Needs to improve on poor debut at the Curragh last month.

Galileo filly whose Dam was a 1m½f winner, sister to very smart winner Gregorian. Well held on both career starts so far. Market likely to be the best guide.

Filly by Fracas out of a Hurricane Run mare. Closely related to Cresendo, winner over 1m on the AW at Dundalk. Dam well beaten on sole start over 6f. Market likely to reveal expectations on debut.

16/1
Daughter of New Approach out of a USA bred mare. Closely related to three winners. Dam, five race maiden. Entitled to need this on debut and others make more appeal.

Zoffany filly who cost €30,000 as a yearling. Half-sister to winners in France and Belgium but out of a dam who was a maiden on the track. Market check on debut.

Forecasts

Even So (5/4), Heaven Of Heavens (5/2), Celestial Object (9/2), Azila (8/1), Sweeping Approach (16/1), Meeting (20/1), Zofar Zogood (33/1), Epona Plays (50/1), Celtic Crown (50/1), Poster Child (50/1), Merroir (66/1), Franno (66/1), Medival Legend (66/1)

Verdict

The Ger Lyons-trained EVEN SO can land the opener on her second career start. The filly in the colurs of John Magnier and Paul Shanahan can build on her promising third of 13 beaten 2¼L on debut at Tipperary over 7½f last month. The Dermot Weld-trained daughter of Dark Angel, Azila in a first-time visor can emerge as the biggest danger dropping down from Group 3 company. The Aidan O'Brien pair Heavens Of Heavens and Meeting should not be underestimated while Celestial Object and Epona Plays look the most interesting newcomers.
