Amusement

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Gavin Ryan| T: Donnacha O'Brien

16/1

Foaled May 6. 540,000 gns yearling, Galileo filly. Lots to like on paper, but jockey bookings suggest that La Dolce Vita is the stable first-string.

Form:

Aurifodina³¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: K J Manning| T: J S Bolger

18/1

Once-raced filly. 50/1, eighth of 14 in maiden at the Curragh (6f, good to soft) on debut 31 days ago, never nearer. Likely to improve.

Form: 8

Madly Truly

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Dylan Browne McMonagle| T: J P O'Brien

4/1

Foaled March 6. 95,000 gns foal, 410,000 gns yearling, Cracksman filly. Half-sister to 3 winners, including useful 2-y-o 5f/5.5f winner Yard also saddles Thornbrook and the betting will be instructive.

Sheyya

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Ben Coen| T: J P Murtagh

14/1

Foaled April 12. Dam, 7f winner (stayed 1m), half-sister to smart 1m winner Shelir. Well worth a second look in the betting,

Unless

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: R L Moore| T: A P O'Brien

2/7

Foaled March 1. Justify filly. Represents powerful connections and this filly has presumably been showing up well at home (holds Group-race entries).

Form:

Non-Runners

Forecasts

Unless (2/7), La Dolce Vita (7/2), Madly Truly (4/1), Thornbrook (13/2), Foniska (13/2), Sheyya (14/1), Amusement (16/1), Aurifodina (18/1)

It will look significant if the market vibes surrounding UNLESS are positive and, if so, the hint should be taken. She represents powerful connections and entries in a couple of Group races suggest that she is held in high regard. Fellow newcomer Foniska is another likely type and she is taken to do battle for minor honours with Thornbrook.
