9/2

Three-race maiden ran well in defeat on stable debut at this track over 7f earlier this month. No surprise to see a big run dropping in trip.

11-race maiden yet to hit the frame on any occasion. Last of eight in a Naas 7f handicap on heavy ground earlier this month. Possibly best watched on AW debut.

7/1

Posted a career best effort when improving for the drop to this trip finishing third of 14 beaten 4L over C&D earlier this month. Should get competitive again despite 1lb rise.

Lady Zell^t1⁹⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: S Foley| T: K J Condon| OR: 62

9/2

Excelebration filly. Half-sister to a couple of winners. Nothing of note in three career starts so far. Last seen in August and probably best left making her AW debut.

Form: 068

Crack On Rosie¹⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 8-8| J: N G McCullagh| T: P Martin| OR: 54

25/1

Filly by Sir Prancealot out of a Viking Ruler mare. Closely related to multiple winner Lady Rosebud. Well held in three career efforts on turf since her debut last month. Appears to have a bit to prove.

Form: 090

Megans Beau^p²⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-6| J: A C Persse⁽⁷⁾| T: Thomas Coyle| OR: 52

33/1

Nothing of note in five below-par starts for trainer Ado McGuinness before an improved effort on debut for current connections, running The King Of Kells to ½L over C&D here last month. Something amiss on latest start.

Form: 409830

(4)

Sebs Star^b¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 8-5| J: J A Powell⁽¹⁰⁾| T: J M Oxx| OR: 51

25/1

Five-race maiden, failed to build on encouraging AW debut when finishing down the field over C&D earlier this month behind The King Of Kells. More needed but not one to be putting a line through just yet.

Form: 00870

Graduate Goddess⁵²

Age: 2| Weight: 8-4| J: James J Doyle| T: G P Cromwell| OR: 50

16/1

Filly by Morpheus out of an Include mare. Cost €7,000 as a yearling. Struggling a little in four career starts racing over 6f/7f and looks up against it on return to this surface.

Form: 5700

(3)

Strategic Fortune²⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-4| J: C P Hoban| T: P J Flynn| OR: 50

4/1

Posted a career best effort last month when finishing second of 12 beaten 1¼L in a Curragh 6½f contest behind The King Of The Kells. May be capable of better still.

Form: 06082

(8)

Eglish²⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 8-4| J: Rory Cleary| T: A McGuinness| OR: 49

33/1

Four-race maiden on turf. Best effort came over this trip in September at Naas on good ground. Needs to step up on previous efforts to get involved here.

Form: 0840

Miss Cunning²⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-4| J: D E Sheehy⁽⁵⁾| T: K Prendergast| OR: 46

25/1

Daughter of Sir Prancealot out of a Dubawi mare. No impression when last seen finishing sixth of 13 behind The King Of Kells at the Curragh over a similar trip last month. Plenty to prove on AW debut.

Form: 0906

Forecasts

Strategic Fortune (4/1), Lady Zell (9/2), Capel At Dawn (9/2), Tinkerbells Effect (6/1), Mogwli (6/1), Miss Sassyboots (7/1), Graduate Goddess (16/1), Miss Cunning (25/1), Sebs Star (25/1), Crack On Rosie (25/1), Eglish (33/1), Megans Beau (33/1)

The Joseph O'Brien-trained TINKERBELLS EFFECT can get the better of stablemate Capel At Dawn in this nursery contest. The daughter of Kodiac was doing all her best work far too late over 5f on Friday before being short of room to finish fifth of 14 runners. The step up in trip looks ideal as she attempts to get off the mark at the 11th time of asking. Miss Sassyboots ran with plenty of credit over C&D earlier this month and can rival Sebs Star for the minor honours.
