20/1

Twice-raced filly. 12/1, went backwards from debut effort 11 months earlier when fifteenth of 18 in maiden at the Curragh (6f, heavy) 19 days ago. Underfoot conditions a plausible excuse then and she may yet get back on track.

9/4

Promising type. Third of 18 in maiden at the Curragh (6f, heavy, 8/1) on debut 19 days ago, hampered late but keeping on. In very good hands and very much the type to improve. One to consider.

40/1

Thrice-raced filly. 33/1, thirteenth of 16 in maiden at this course (5f, heavy) 27 days ago, weakening final 1f on the back of 4 months off. Another likely type for handicaps moving forward.

FIRST GENTLEMAN produced a promising first effort when third in a Curragh maiden over this trip 3 weeks ago and, open to improvement for his good yard, he's fancied to build on that and make a bold bid to make it second time lucky. Desert Haven, who was narrowly in front of the selection latest, boasts plenty of experience and is a big threat. Capital Guarantee, Roaming Star and Las Cuatro are others fancied to be thereabouts.
