All Time Great

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

7/1

Justify filly. Half-sister to 2 winners by War Front, notably useful US 2-y-o 1m winner Caisson. Dam, 1¼m-1½m winner (including Ribblesdale Stakes), half-sister to smart winner up to 1m Power. Makes obvious appeal on paper for leading yard.

Annorah¹²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Robbie Colgan| T: C O'Connell

200/1

Twice-raced filly. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, thirteenth of 14 in maiden (250/1) at Dundalk (1m) in December, headed 2f out and folding tamely. Easy enough to look elsewhere.

Azazat¹⁶¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Chris Hayes| T: D K Weld

1/1

Camelot filly. Attracted support and showed plenty to work on when second in a 14-runner Curragh maiden (7f, heavy) on debut in October, clear of remainder. Longer trip promises to suit on return and sound claims with more to come.

Boogie Woogie¹⁵⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: R L Moore| T: A P O'Brien| BF

7/2

Thrice-raced filly. 10/11, third of 10 in maiden at Galway (8.3f, heavy) in October, headed well inside final 1f and no extra. Bred in the purple and strong suspicion she can do better again this term up in trip.

125/1

Twice-raced filly. Thirteenth of 16 in maiden at the Curragh (7f, soft, 125/1), merely closing up late. Off 6 months. Significantly up in trip and handicaps likely to be more her bag.

Form: 90-

Fleadhfest

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Luke McAteer⁽³⁾| T: J S Bolger

33/1

Vocalised filly. Half-sister to 2-y-o 7f winner Oh Grace. Dam once-raced sister to smart/moody 1½m winner Via Galilei.

14/1

€14,500 yearling, Sioux Nation filly. Half-sister to 1½m-16.3f winner Takarengo and winner up to 7f Herewegodandy. Dam, maiden (stayed 1½m), half-sister to winner up to 1¼m (stayed 1½m) Takarian and winner up to 1m Takar (both smart). Betting should guide on debut.

125/1

Once-raced filly. Eighth of 10 in maiden (33/1) at Naas (8f, heavy) on debut 10 days ago, always behind. Rates a likely longer-term project.

20/1

Once-raced filly. Fifth of 8 in maiden (17/2) at Thurles (8f, soft) on debut, not knocked about. Off 6 months. Up in trip. Should have more to offer moving forward but yard may hold stronger claims elsewhere in this.

Once-raced filly. Seventh of 15 in maiden (12/1) at this course (8f, soft) on debut. Off 172 days. Up in trip. Should progress.

Forecasts

Azazat (1/1), Boogie Woogie (7/2), Star Galaxy (9/2), All Time Great (7/1), Night Blue (14/1), Savethelastdance (20/1), Fleadhfest (33/1), Point To Prove (125/1), Fancy Gloves (125/1), Annorah (200/1)

AZAZAT displayed plenty of promise when runner-up on debut in a Curragh maiden (7f) back in the autumn and, with progress anticipated in line with the longer trip, she gets the nod to make a winning return. Boogie Woogie was another who showed plenty of ability at 2 yrs and she's feared, with newcomer All Time Great and Star Galaxy completing the shortlist.
