Irish Stallion Farms EBF Fillies Maiden (Plus 10)

Off time: 14:15 | Winning time: 1m 14.92s

Before Sunrise

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: O J Orr| T: S Lynam

22/1

6,000gns yearling; sixth foal; half-sister to two 5f 2yo winners; dam 7f AW winner; no problem with her pedigree, but perhaps best watched on this belated debut.

Stormy Pass¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: G M Ryan⁽⁵⁾| T: S Lynam

8/1

Made a moderate debut at Naas (6f) in March, but fared better last time out, returning to the same track over 5f (soft) to show a bit of promise. Probably one to make more appeal when entering minor handicaps.

Form: 94

Ahyoka⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: C G O'Dwyer⁽¹⁰⁾| T: K P Cotter

50/1

Filly by Zebedee out of an Indian Ridge mare. 25-1 on debut when just over 8L fifth of eight at Sligo (5½f, good) recently. Needs much improvement on that modest start to get involved this time.

Form: 5

Allez Allez Allez^p1¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: S Foley| T: Mrs J Harrington| OR: 85

6/4

Looked promising on debut when beaten under 2L into second here over C&D (good) last September. Below par (possibly soft ground) next time, but shaped better back over C&D on her reappearance. Cheekpieces go on. Interesting.

Form: 27-4

(8)

Call Of The Jungle⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Nathan Crosse⁽⁵⁾| T: W McCreery| OR: 70

4/1

Placed in a couple of maidens over 6½f/7f last year, both with cut in the ground. Well held in a handicap on reappearance, before going close back in maiden company at Sligo (5½f, good) last time. Not ruled out of the money.

Form: 823-03

Chocquinto²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Wayne Lordan| T: Miss H McLoughlin

66/1

Requinto filly out of a Celtic Swing mare. 100-1 and never a factor on debut when 9L last of six in a fillies' maiden at Limerick (6½f, good). Vast improvement needed.

Form: 6

(9)

Eirona

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Declan McDonogh| T: J P O'Brien

8/1

Mastercraftsman filly out of a 6½f-7f winning half-sister to the fairly useful winners Hidden Charm (5f/6f) and In A Rush (7f). Trainer's runners in good form and he is 12% with 3yos over five seasons. No surprise to see a competitive debut.

Form:

Gulf Of Aidan^t,v1⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: W J Lee| T: K J Condon| BF

4/1

Improved on both her juvenile efforts when a promising third in a Naas maiden (6f, good/yielding; first-time tongue-tie) last month; every chance when beaten favourite at Sligo last time; visor now goes on; contender.

Form: 69-34

(2)

Laurel Wreath⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Rory Cleary| T: B Nolan

15/2

Didn't show a huge amount on debut, but improved on that to show a little promise in a Sligo maiden (5½f, good) recently. Can't rule her out of the prize money, but this does look a bit tougher.

Form: 82

(11)

Miss Florentine

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: M A Gallagher| T: R O'Sullivan

66/1

Third foal; half-sister to a hurdle winner, out of a 7f AW 2yo winner, who was out of an Irish Oaks winner. Stable's runners in decent form, but with just a 2% strike rate with their 3yos over five seasons, she looks on to watch on debut.

Form:

(1)

Morrone¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: M A Enright| T: E Lynam

66/1

40-1 and never really a factor on debut at Naas (6f, good/yielding) last month, when 14L twelfth of 18 runners. Can only suggest a watching brief this time.

Form: 0

(7)

Red Pantz¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Luke McAteer⁽⁷⁾| T: J M Barrett

66/1

Not devoid of promise on debut at Gowran Park (7f, good), but took a backward step at Roscommon (7f, yielding) last time. Not sure this drop in trip looks ideal, so she has a bit to prove.

Form: 09

(10)

Valquinto^t¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: James J Doyle| T: Joseph Murray

150/1

Well held last of eight on debut at Fairyhouse (6f, good to firm) last month. Made a little improvement on that over 1m at Naas last time, but still well held. Hard to make a case for her based on either run.

Form: 80

(4)

Watergrange Fairy^t1²⁵⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: D A McCormack⁽⁵⁾| T: T Cleary| OR: 58

150/1

Has been big odds and well beaten in all three of her starts to date. Not seen since Galway last October and needs major improvement to figure on her reappearance.

Forecasts

Allez Allez Allez (6/4), Call Of The Jungle (4/1), Gulf Of Aidan (4/1), Laurel Wreath (15/2), Stormy Pass (8/1), Eirona (8/1), Tie A Yellowribbon (14/1), Before Sunrise (22/1), Ahyoka (50/1), Red Pantz (66/1), Miss Florentine (66/1), Morrone (66/1), Chocquinto (66/1), Watergrange Fairy (150/1), Valquinto (150/1)

Tie A Yellowribbon has threatened to win on more than one occasion and if she proved good enough it wouldn't be before time. However, she is still vulnerable and the suggestion is ALLEZ ALLEZ ALLEZ. Jessie Harrington's filly has run well here a couple of times, gets the sound surface she appears to prefer and could be galvanised by headgear. Eirona looks the most eyecatching newcomer and a big run would not surprise, while Call Of The Jungle and Laurel Wreath are not ruled out of the money,
