14/1

80/1

€16,000 yearling, Far Above filly. Half-sister to 2-y-o 6f winner Terra Del Sole. Dam, 2-y-o 6f winner, closely related to winner up to 1m Captain Joy and winner up to 1½m Chestnut Honey (both smart). Difficult task on debut.

Rocket Robyn¹³³

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: Seamie Heffernan| T: M Hassett| OR: 75

14/1

Much improved on third start when head second in a Gowran maiden (9.5f) in October. Below form when ninth of 23 in 1½m maiden (12/1) at this course (heavy) the following month, but capable of being involved if ready to go on return.

Form: 6929-

A Daughters Love^h¹⁷⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Rory Mulligan⁽⁵⁾| T: Thomas Dowling

300/1

Little promise in her 4 starts last year, eighth of 9 in claimer at Fairyhouse (7f, good to soft, 80/1) when last seen in September.

Form: 8008-

Feel The Love

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Chris Hayes| T: Donnacha O'Brien

7/2

St Mark's Basilica filly. Half-sister to numerous winners, including winner up to 10.4f Fancy Blue, 1½m/12.5f winner Casterton and 2-y-o 7f winner Smuggler's Cove. Bred to be smart so she's of plenty of interest on debut.

Forty Six A

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Declan McDonogh| T: J S Bolger

11/1

Dawn Approach filly. Dam placed at 7f-10.5f. May just be better for this first experience.

Girl Bear¹⁸⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Luke McAteer| T: Jack Foley

5/1

Second in a Leopardstown barrier trial last summer and showed plenty on Rules debut when third of 7 in maiden at Galway (7f, good to soft, 10/1) in September. Off 6 months but she could be in the mix.

Form: 3-

Nando Lily²³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Leigh Roche| T: P Roche

150/1

Well held on debut in July last year and fared no better when fifteenth of 17 in maiden at Naas (6f, good, 200/1) 2 weeks later. Off 7 months.

Form: 00-

Pollenca⁶⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Andrew Slattery| T: A Slattery

10/1

Sent off at big odds (66/1) but showed ability when never-nearer fourth of 14 in maiden at Dundalk (1m) on debut in January, the winner scoring again next time. Shortlisted with improvement to come.

Form: 4

Reap The Rewards

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Ben Coen| T: Ciaran Murphy

66/1

27,000 gns 2-y-o, Profitable filly. Half-sister to useful 2-y-o 7f winner Tiger Mask and ungenuine 7f winner Swot. Dam, maiden (probably stayed 1m), half-sister to useful 7f/1m winner Kehaar.

Signora²⁶⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: R L Moore| T: A P O'Brien| BF

1/1

Shaped very well when third in Naas Group 3 on debut. 15/8 favourite for the Albany at Royal Ascot (6f, firm) a month later but finished ninth of 17 having raced closer to the pace than ideal. Well worth another chance dropped in grade.

Form: 39-

Forecasts

Signora (1/1), Feel The Love (7/2), Girl Bear (5/1), Pollenca (10/1), Forty Six A (11/1), Acanto (14/1), Rocket Robyn (14/1), Reap The Rewards (66/1), Pure Valour (80/1), Nando Lily (150/1), A Daughters Love (300/1)

After a promising debut at Group 3 level, SIGNORA had excuses when sent off favourite for the Albany at Royal Ascot next time so she looks to hold leading claims returning in maiden company. Well-related newcomer Feel The Love could be the one to give the selection most to think about, ahead of Pollenca.
