Honeysuckle Rose⁴⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-1| J: Declan McDonogh| T: J P O'Brien

Think About It^b1²¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-1| J: Yudish Geerdharry⁽⁷⁾| T: J P Murtagh| OR: 74

20/1

Thrice-raced filly. Ninth of 14 in maiden at this course (8f, 6/1) 21 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Blinkers on 1st time and needs to raise her game.

Form: 339

(9)

Abrilete

Age: 2| Weight: 8-13| J: Wayne Hassett⁽⁵⁾| T: J P O'Brien

22/1

This daughter of Australia is probably more one for the longer-term and jockey bookings suggest that she is the least fancied of the yard's 3 runners.

Magnolia Drive

Age: 2| Weight: 8-13| J: Mikey Sheehy| T: J P O'Brien

9/1

Foaled April 28. Gleneagles filly. Sister to 1½m winner Common Practice and 2-y-o 1m winner Tiscommonknowledge. Likely type on paper and it'll be interesting to see how she shapes up in the betting.

Form:

(15)

Eutropia

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: Chris Hayes| T: Kevin Coleman

8/1

Foaled March 25. 2,500 gns foal, €13,000 yearling, Study of Man filly. Dam, French 1¼m-1½m winner, half-sister to 6f-1m winner Amusez Moi. Entitled to come on for the run.

Happy For Evva¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: Nathan Crosse| T: A McIntyre

10/3

Promising individual. First run since leaving Ms Sheila Lavery when third of 12 in maiden (12/1) at this course (6f) 14 days ago, having to pick way through. Likely to improve.

Form: 93

(16)

Shamanka³⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: Shane Foley| T: N Lupini

9/1

Once-raced filly. 16/1, tenth of 13 in maiden at this C&D on debut 30 days ago. Probably more one for handicaps in due course.

Form: 0

Suerte

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: Rory Cleary| T: S Lavery

28/1

Foaled March 4. Dandy Man filly. Sister to smart winner up to 9f River Boyne and 7.4f winner River Usk, and half-sister to several winners, including useful winner up to 6f Harome. Likely to come on for the run.

Form:

Timandi⁸¹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: Luke McAteer| T: J M Barrett

20/1

Once-raced filly. 7/1, thirteenth of 15 in maiden at Listowel (8f, good to soft) on debut 81 days ago, slowly away. That experience won't be wasted on her but she will probably need more time and distance.

Form: 0

(5)

Graceful Intent

Age: 2| Weight: 8-9| J: D E Sheehy| T: A Slattery

33/1

Foaled April 25. $7,000 foal, $7,000 yearling, Gormley filly. Half-sister to 3 winners, including smart winner up to 1m Maftool and minor US winner by Tapit. Yard rarely strikes with newcomers.

Form:

J M's Joy⁵³

Age: 2| Weight: 8-9| J: Robert Whearty⁽³⁾| T: P Martin| OR: 75

7/1

Fair filly. 10/3, good third of 15 in maiden at Gowran (8.3f, heavy) 53 days ago. Should give another good account.

Form: 073723

Jasmine Affanalis^h1

Age: 2| Weight: 8-9| J: Leigh Roche| T: D Marnane

80/1

Foaled April 3. Highland Reel filly. Dam maiden out of US 1m winner Moon River Gal, herself half-sister to US Grade 3 6f winner Sweet Hope. Wears hood and, chances are, she'll be better for the run.

Form:

(1)

Lady Plimsoll

Age: 2| Weight: 8-9| J: Rory Mulligan⁽⁷⁾| T: John O'Donoghue

50/1

Foaled March 20. Le Brivido filly. Half-sister to several winners, including useful French 1m winner Choise of Raison and 7.4f-9f winner Fireworks. Yard is not synonymous with winning newcomers.

Form:

Sliabh Na Gcroi²¹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-9| J: Julian Pietropaolo⁽⁷⁾| T: M Kelly

200/1

Once-raced filly. Eleventh of 14 in maiden at this course (8f, 200/1) on debut 21 days ago. Readily passed over.

Forecasts

Honeysuckle Rose (7/4), Happy For Evva (10/3), J M's Joy (7/1), Eutropia (8/1), Lyra Constellation (8/1), Shamanka (9/1), Magnolia Drive (9/1), Lisnadill (10/1), Timandi (20/1), Think About It (20/1), Abrilete (22/1), Suerte (28/1), Graceful Intent (33/1), Lady Plimsoll (50/1), Shuyak (50/1), Jasmine Affanalis (80/1), Sliabh Na Gcroi (200/1)

Two of the three trained by Joseph O'Brien are appealing and preference is for newcomer MAGNOLA DRIVE, who boasts a good pedigree and it will look significant if the market speaks in her favour. Stablemate Honeysuckle Rose showed promise on her introduction at the Curragh and she is second choice ahead of J M's Joy and Happy For Evva.
