600,000 gns yearling. By No Nay Never and is a full sister to multiple Group One winner Ten Sovereigns. Pushed along and soon weakened 1½f out on seasonal reappearance at Navan last week. Returned with 'cuts' to both hind legs. One to beat.

Glow Worm^p1⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Ronan Whelan| T: J Davison| OR: 70

9/1

Solid and consistent sort running well in defeat in a number of starts last term. Last two starts raise concerns about overall ability, including on return to action at Gowran Park last week. First time cheekpieces unlikely to spark improvement.

Musical Rue⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Nathan Crosse⁽⁵⁾| T: W McCreery

11/1

Daughter of Exceed And Excel out of a Barathea mare. Yet to catch the eye in three dismal efforts so far, including over 5f in a Navan maiden contest last week. Worth a market check stepping up in trip.

Favourite backers can get off to a flying start in the opener with the Aidan O'Brien-trained EDEN QUAY. The filly has not had the smoothest of starts to her career, missing the start on debut last year and suffering 'cuts' to both hind legs on seasonal reappearance in a Navan 5f maiden seven days ago. The daughter of No Nay Never should be suited by the step up in trip and, if fully recovered, will be able to see of her nearest rivals, Nawafeth, newcomer for trainer Kevin Prendergast in the colours of Hamdan Al Maktoum and the Ken Condon-trained Treasure Today.
