(1)

Amazing Show⁵¹

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

40/1

Confirmed debut promise when winning 11-runner maiden (3/1) at Down Royal (7f, good) 51 days ago by 1¾ lengths from Gan Teorainn, eased down. Bare form is ordinary so this is a very tall order.

Form: 31

(3)

Eternal Silence¹⁵

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

50/1

Left debut form well behind when 1¼ lengths third of 8 to Aspen Grove in Flame of Tara Stakes at this course (8f, good) 15 days ago, keeping on well. Yard in good form but this looks too tough.

Form: 93

Gan Teorainn^b1²²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: K J Manning| T: J S Bolger| OR: 88

125/1

Maiden winner at Naas last month. 16/1, 11½ lengths last of 7 to Meditate in Debutante Stakes at this C&D (good to firm) 22 days ago. Blinkered for first time and has it all to do.

Form: 217

La Dolce Vita¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Gavin Ryan| T: Donnacha O'Brien| OR: 95| D

100/1

Winner at Tipperary in June. 8¼ lengths seventh of 8 to Aspen Grove in Flame of Tara Stakes (12/1) at this course (8f, good) 15 days ago and her merit is established as a notch or two below this.

Form: 621367

Lakota Sioux³⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: R Kingscote| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 99| D

14/1

Continued theme of race-by-race progress when winning 9-runner Sweet Solera Stakes at Newmarket (7f, good to firm, 10/3) 36 days ago by ¾ length from Dandy Alys. Talented but has a quirk or two.

Form: 3131

(12)

Meditate²²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: R L Moore| T: A P O'Brien| OR: 109| CD

1/1

Maintained unbeaten record in 7-runner Debutante Stakes at this C&D (good to firm, 8/13) 22 days ago by ¾ length from Olivia Maralda, pushed out but still had a bit up her sleeve (stumbled late). Smart prospect and very much the one to beat.

Form: 1111

(6)

Never Ending Story²²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Wayne Lordan| T: A P O'Brien| OR: 102| CD

9/1

Useful filly. C&D winner. 2 wins from 3 runs this year. 2¼ lengths third of 7 to Wed in Prix du Calvados (17/10) at Deauville (7f, good) 22 days ago. Stablemate Meditate more likely but she can still get involved.

Form: 3113

(9)

Papilio³⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: J P Spencer| T: J A Stack| OR: 97| C

14/1

Course winner. 2 wins from 4 runs this year. 5/1, good ½-length second of 6 to Hellsing in listed race at Tipperary (7.4f, good to firm) 37 days ago, hanging right late on. Worthy of consideration.

Form: 1612

(2)

Shelton¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Billy Lee| T: P Twomey| OR: 97| BF| CD

20/1

C&D winner. 1 win from 3 runs this year. 9/4, 1¼ lengths second of 8 to Aspen Grove in Flame of Tara Stakes at this course (8f, good) 15 days ago, running on.

Form: 712

(7)

Tahiyra⁴⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Chris Hayes| T: D K Weld| D

10/3

Highly-promising type. 7/2, won 10-runner maiden at Galway (7f, good to soft) on debut 47 days ago, impressively (second has boosted the form since). Should improve significantly and leave bare rating well behind.

Form: 1

(8)

Thornbrook²²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Declan McDonogh| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 104| D

17/2

Promising individual. Length third of 7 to Meditate in Debutante Stakes (12/1) at this C&D (good to firm) 22 days ago, running on. That was just her second run so improvement should be forthcoming.

Form: 13

Forecasts

Meditate (1/1), Tahiyra (10/3), Thornbrook (17/2), Never Ending Story (9/1), Sydneyarms Chelsea (10/1), Papilio (14/1), Lakota Sioux (14/1), Shelton (20/1), Amazing Show (40/1), Eternal Silence (50/1), La Dolce Vita (100/1), Gan Teorainn (125/1)

MEDITATE would have been an easier winner of the Debutante Stakes over C&D 3 weeks ago had she not stumbled late on and this smart filly is fancied to make it a perfect 5 out of 5. Thornbrook wasn't far behind the selection that day and can get involved again but the biggest threat could be Tahiyra, who is something of an unknown quantity on the back of a sparkling debut at Galway.
