7/1

Fairly useful filly. Winner at Leopardstown in July. 33/1, 8½ lengths seventh of 9 to Fallen Angel in Moyglare Stud Stakes at this C&D (good to soft) 14 days ago, though she was denied a clear run.

4/1

Completely different proposition on second start when winning 18-runner maiden (5/1) at Leopardstown (7f, good to soft) 66 days ago, plenty in hand. Likely to improve again and she's a useful prospect.

Dollerina³⁶

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

10/3

Matched debut form when 5¾ lengths sixth of 8 to Vespertilio in Debutante Stakes (9/2) at this C&D (good to soft) 36 days ago. Retains potential on this her third start.

Form: 26

Peggy O'neil⁴³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Gary Carroll| T: J G Murphy

28/1

Offered something to work on when fifth of 11 in novice event at this C&D (good, 16/1) on debut 43 days ago. Very hard to make a case for at this level.

Form: 5

Sakti³⁶

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

9/4

Promising individual. 7/1, 1¾ lengths second of 8 to Vespertilio in Debutante Stakes at this C&D (good to soft) 36 days ago, clear of rest. Leading claims with promise of plenty more to come.

Form: 22

Settlement¹⁸

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

16/1

Twice-raced maiden. 3/1, second of 7 in maiden at Cork (8f, good to firm) 18 days ago. This is asking a lot.

Form: 42

Forecasts

Sakti (9/4), Dollerina (10/3), Caught U Looking (4/1), Content (9/2), Brilliant (7/1), Settlement (16/1), Peggy O'neil (28/1)

SAKTI clearly possesses more than her share of ability given she was runner-up in the Group 2 Debutante Stakes over C&D on just her second start. There should be plenty more to come and she's very much the one to beat, with Caught U Looking feared most.
