11/1

Once-raced filly. 15/2, third of 9 in maiden at Naas (5.9f, heavy) on debut 34 days ago. Should progress and, as the only one of these with experience to draw upon, she has to be respected.

Grand Job

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

7/1

$105,000 yearling, closely related to useful winner up to 9.5f Divine Image (2-y-o 1m winner, by Scat Daddy) and half-sister to 3 winners, including 2 minor US winners by Air Force Blue. Dam 1m/8.5f winner. Top yard and needs close attention in the betting.

11/4

Foaled April 29. £160,000 2-y-o, Sioux Nation filly. Dam, winner up to 11.5f (2-y-o 7f winner), half-sister to useful winner up to 1m Mutasayyid. Noteworthy newcomer. Yard no stranger to success with 2-y-o newcomers.

Matrika^b1

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

6/1

Foaled February 19. No Nay Never filly. Sister to smart 9f/1¼m winner Unicorn Lion, closely related to 2-y-o 7f winner Madonnadelrosario. Dam unraced. Blinkered on debut, which is a slight concern, but she makes plenty of appeal otherwise.

Miss Black Jack

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Ronan Whelan| T: John O'Donoghue

16/1

Foaled March 2. 24,000 gns foal, £50,000 yearling, Soldier's Call filly. Half-sister to winner up to 1m Millionaire Waltz and 6f winner Radio Goo Goo. Others make more appeal on paper.

Mysteries

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

7/2

Foaled March 17. No Nay Never filly. Closely related to 2-y-o 1m winner Masterpainter. Yard 4-6 with 2-y-os this year and she is one to monitor closely in the betting.

September Leaves

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

7/2

Foaled May 5. Night of Thunder filly. Half-sister to 1m/8.3f winner Cosa Sara and 17f winner Grappa Nonino. Of obvious interest on debut and the market should be revealing.

Tiscommonknowledge

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Seamie Heffernan| T: P Roche

Foaled April 25. Gleneagles filly. Sister to 1½m winner Common Practice. Not as appealing as many of these on paper.

Forecasts

Gunzburg (11/4), Mysteries (7/2), September Leaves (7/2), Matrika (6/1), Grand Job (7/1), Back Down Under (11/1), Miss Black Jack (16/1), Glor Tire (25/1), Tiscommonknowledge (66/1)

The majority of these are appealing on paper. MYSTERIES, who represents the Donnacha O'Brien yard, ticks plenty of the right boxes and the hint should be taken if she's strong in the betting. It could be a 1-2-3 for the O'Brien's, with father Aidan's representative Matrika second choice ahead of Grand Job, trained by brother Joseph. Gunzburg and September Leaves are other likely-looking types to consider, while Back Down Under, the only one of these with experience, also merits respect.
