10/11

Lightly-raced winner. 10/3, very good 3½ lengths fifth of 11 to A Lilac Rolla in 1000 Guineas Trial at Leopardstown (7.1f, heavy) 37 days ago. The one to beat.

Form: 21-25

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Ronan Whelan| T: A McGuinness| OR: 92

22/1

Thrice-raced winner. 18/1, possibly needed the run when last of 5 in minor event at Naas (8f, heavy) 51 days ago, in touch 2f out and dropping away soon after. Entitled to be sharper with that under her belt.

Form: 41-5

Tannola²⁴⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Chris Hayes| T: D K Weld| OR: 95

5/2

Promising sort who matched previous best when winning 5-runner Galway maiden (7.1f) in September. Related to a number of smart sorts and she's the type to do better still as a 3-y-o for her very good yard.

Form: 221-

Uluru²¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: M W Hassett⁽⁷⁾| T: J P O'Brien

3/1

Twice-raced winner. 10/3, first run since leaving Kevin Thomas Coleman when fourth of 13 in minor event at Naas (7f, heavy). Off 7 months. Open to improvement, particularly now tackling 1m for the first time. Yard won this 12 months ago.

Form: 14-

Successful on the second of her 2 starts in maidens last year, ALPHERATZ has improved again this term, running creditably when fifth in 1000 Guineas Trial at Leopardstown 37 days ago, and a repeat of that level of form should see her playing a lead role. Tannola and Uluru both promise to do better as 3-y-os and rate next best.
