Love Locket¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-6| J: D O'Brien| T: A P O'Brien| OR: 84| C

2/1

Broke her maiden at the third attempt when she prevailed at this course over 6f in a 19 runner contest justifying going off as the 2/1 favourite. She was staying on strongly at the finish so this step up in trip should suit. Big player to follow up.

Estepona Sun¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Colin Keane| T: G M Lyons| OR: 80

11/4

Has not been too far on his last two appearances as he remains a maiden following three starts. He was fourth of 13 last time over this C&D, 2¼L off the winner. One to consider here as he remains open to improvement.

Form: 734

Feminista^b⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 8-13| J: K J Manning| T: J S Bolger| OR: 77| D

10/1

Was successful at the sixth attempt last time when she prevailed at Leopardstown (7f) in a fillies' contest by ¾L after making all. This will be tougher but she is in with a good chance so is worth including on your shortlist.

Grey Serge^t1¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 8-10| J: D E Sheehy⁽⁵⁾| T: J C McConnell| OR: 74

25/1

Remains a maiden after six runs. He was fifth of nine last time at Leopardstown (1m), 2¼L behind the winner. Has switched yards since. Tongue-tie is on for the first time. Needs to improve on what he has shown so far in order to be in the mix here.

In From The Cold¹¹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-8| J: Chris Hayes| T: M Mulvany| OR: 72| BF

3/1

His sole success came a Sligo (5½f) back in August. He went very close to another victory last time at Navan (5½f) where he was second of 12, just 1½L away. Has gone up only 2lb so he has each-way claims.

Legal Thriller¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 8-4| J: Rory Cleary| T: J S Bolger| OR: 68

16/1

Has shown very little in three starts to date, including her latest effort in a maiden contest at Leopardstown (1m) where she was 10th of 14. Set for her handicap debut here so keep an eye out for any market support.

Form: 760

Mogwli^b¹²

Age: 2| Weight: 8-4| J: Nathan Crosse⁽⁵⁾| T: W McCreery| OR: 67

16/1

Is 0-10 on the track so far in his career. His last two efforts have been better, including his latest outing at the Curragh (6½f) where he was fourth of 13. Is dropping down in trip again and looks to be off a workable mark now.

Waterville Lady^p1⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 8-4| J: C P Hoban| T: Mrs J Harrington| OR: 66

8/1

Yet to prevail in seven attempts but her performances have been improving. She was fourth of 12 on her latest outing at Galway (7f). Will wear cheekpieces for the first time here. Has an each-way chance.

Forecasts

Love Locket (2/1), Estepona Sun (11/4), In From The Cold (3/1), Too Soon To Panic (11/2), Waterville Lady (8/1), Feminista (10/1), Legal Thriller (16/1), Mogwli (16/1), Grey Serge (25/1)

LOVE LOCKET was impressive here last time over 6f where she broke her maiden in a big runner field. She shaped like she will appreciate a step up in distance so take her to defy her penalty and record her second straight success. Estepona Sun has got better in each of this three runs and he can continue that trend by building upon his fourth place finish over this C&D, while Too Soon To Panic should enter your calculations on the evidence of what she has shown in her three appearances.
