Girl Racer^h1³²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Ben Coen| T: J P Murtagh| OR: 93

40/1

Lightly-raced winner. First run since leaving William Haggas when very good third of 8 in handicap (10/1) at Gowran (7f, soft) 32 days ago. Hood on 1st time and she looks up against it raised in class here.

Form: 1640-3

Goldana¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: Declan McDonogh| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 102| BF| C| D

7/1

Useful mare. Course winner. 1 win from 3 runs this year. Creditable short-head second of 6 to Empress of Beauty in listed race (10/11) at Gowran (9.4f, heavy) 18 days ago, having run of race. Place possibilities.

Form: 638-312

Mammas Girl⁶⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: D Egan| T: A Murray| OR: 99

14/1

Useful filly at her best but there wasn't enough in her reappearance effort over C&D in March to suggest that she will play a leading role in this contest.

Form: 06640-6

Ocean Jewel^h²⁶⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Billy Lee| T: W McCreery| OR: 104

8/1

Useful filly. 8½ lengths eighth of 12 to Tahiyra in Matron Stakes (66/1) at Leopardstown (8f, good to firm), finishing with running left. Off 8 months but she will be a live each-way player if fully tuned-up for this.

Form: 12/3158-

Orchid Bloom²²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Tom Marquand| T: W J Haggas| OR: 103| BF| D

13/2

Useful filly. 10½ lengths sixth of 8 to Royal Dress in listed race at Goodwood (8f, soft, 5/2) 22 days ago, left poorly placed. Better than she was able to show that day and no surprise if she bounces back with a bold show,

Form: 22132-6

Rogue Millennium²¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: Dylan Browne McMonagle| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 110| D

1/1

Smart mare. Below form 17¼ lengths fifth of 11 to Big Rock in Queen Elizabeth II Stakes at Ascot (8f, soft, 50/1) when last seen in October. Will prove hard to beat if on-song following a break on debut for new yard (£1,650,000 buy from Tom Clover).

Form: 215205-

Villanova Queen¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: Shane Foley| T: Mrs J Harrington| OR: 101| D

14/1

Useful mare. 16/1, 5 lengths fourth of 6 to Empress of Beauty in listed race at Gowran (9.4f, heavy) 18 days ago, left poorly placed. Looks vulnerable for win purposes.

Form: 81786-4

You Send Me²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Oisin Murphy| T: J A Stack| OR: 102

8/1

Useful filly. Good head second of 10 to Gregarina in Athasi Stakes at this course (7f, soft, 17/2) 20 days ago. Likely to give another good account of herself.

Form: 5/126-42

Forecasts

Rogue Millennium (1/1), Orchid Bloom (13/2), Goldana (7/1), Ocean Jewel (8/1), You Send Me (8/1), Gregarina (12/1), Villanova Queen (14/1), Mammas Girl (14/1), Girl Racer (40/1)

All being well ROGUE MILLENNIUM should prove too strong for her eight rivals. She contested Group 1s after landing the Duke of Cambridge Stakes at Royal Ascot last summer and may well kick on again this year now with Joseph O'Brien. Gregarina, one of two fellow representatives from the same yard, could be the one for the forecast, while Ocean Jewel and Orchid Bloom are other plausible candidates for minor honours.
