Call Me Sweetheart²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Wayne Lordan| T: A P O'Brien

11/4

Promising type. Second of 13 in maiden (4/1) at Leopardstown (10f, good) 24 days ago. Open to progress for top yard and he's high on the shortlist.

Form: 32

(3)

Kazakdaria

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: D A McCormack⁽⁵⁾| T: D K Weld

50/1

Harzand filly. Half-sister to 1m winner Kattani and useful 2-y-o 1m winner Katiba. Azallya appears to be the stable first-string.

Loyal³⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Seamie Heffernan| T: A P O'Brien

3/1

Once-raced filly. 11/1, fifth of 14 in maiden at Naas (10f, good) on debut 37 days ago, slowly away. Open to improvement and, like stablemate Call Me Sweetheart, she needs considering.

Form: 5

Only Sky²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: T P Madden| T: Mrs J Harrington

12/1

Twice-raced filly. 66/1, fourth of 13 in maiden at Leopardstown (10f, good) 24 days ago. Arguably lacks the scope of some of these rivals, including stablemate Theory of Music.

Form: 74

Simply A Dream^b1⁵³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Colin Keane| T: G M Lyons

9/1

Twice-raced filly. Fourth of 11 in maiden (3/1) at Dundalk (10.7f) 53 days ago. Trainer going well and blinkers on 1st time. Should improve.

Form: 44

Theory Of Music⁴⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Shane Foley| T: Mrs J Harrington

7/2

Once-raced filly. 9/1, sixth of 21 in maiden at this course (10f, good to firm) on debut 46 days ago. Will be wiser this time and no surprise whatsoever if she's in the shake up.

Form: 6

Truce

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

22/1

Declaration of War filly. Half-sister to several winners, including useful 7.5f-8.5f winner Sinatra and 6f-8.5f winner J Serino, both in US. Dam US 1m winner. Market should point the way.

Ubuntu^p1²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: S M Crosse| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 88

11/1

Lightly-raced filly. Respectable eighth of 13 in maiden (22/1) at Leopardstown (10f, good) 24 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time and needs to raise her game.

Form: 539-88

Forecasts

Call Me Sweetheart (11/4), Loyal (3/1), Theory Of Music (7/2), Azallya (13/2), Simply A Dream (9/1), Ubuntu (11/1), Only Sky (12/1), Espania (12/1), Truce (22/1), Born Leader (33/1), Kazakdaria (50/1)

THEORY OF MUSIC is bred to be useful and caught the eye when sixth in a 1¼m maiden here on debut in April. That had the look of a decent race (the winner went close in a listed race next time and the runner-up subsequently won a maiden) and she is likely to relish this stiffer test. Loyal also shaped well on her introduction and is feared most ahead of stablemates Call Me Sweetheart and Espania.
