Composing¹⁸⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Wayne Lordan| T: A P O'Brien| OR: 105| CD

4/1

Useful filly who won three of her 7 starts last year, including the Silver Flash over C&D and the Debutante at the Curragh (7f). Finished 2025 with a disappointing effort in the Fillies' Mile at Newmarket (1m, good to firm, 10/3), but there's enough to suggest she can get back on track this year.

True Love¹⁶³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: R L Moore| T: A P O'Brien| OR: 115| BF

3/1

Successful 3 times at pattern level last year, with her latest in the Cheveley Park at Newmarket (6f) in September. Not seen to best effect in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf Sprint at Del Mar (5f, firm) when last seen. Sets the standard and pedigree offers hope she'll see out this new trip.

Anushka¹⁶⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Robbie Colgan| T: H De Bromhead| OR: 82| D

80/1

Didn't need to improve to open her account at the third attempt in 14-runner maiden at Dundalk (7f, 6/1) back in October. Not yet the finished article and takes a big hike in class on return.

Black Caviar Gold¹⁹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Billy Lee| T: P Twomey| OR: 108| D

3/1

Raced 4 times last year winning her final 2 starts, the form of which has worked out quite well, with the second of those the Weld Park Stakes at the Curragh (7f, soft) by 2¾ lengths from Pivotal Attack in September. She appeals as the type to go on improving and yard won this race 2 years ago.

Caught U Sleeping^h1¹⁷³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Oisin Murphy| T: N Meade| OR: 97| D

7/1

Landed maiden at Naas (7f) on debut last year before finding it tougher upped in grade next 2 starts. The hood goes on here which should help her settle better but she looks vulnerable in this company.

Form: 136-

Kensington Lane¹⁹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Chris Hayes| T: Donnacha O'Brien| OR: 92| D

18/1

Steadily progressive filly who got off the mark at the fifth attempt in 10-runner maiden at Gowran (7f, good to soft) in 2025. 4/1, 17 lengths last of 9 to Black Caviar Gold in Weld Park Stakes at the Curragh (7f, soft) on final start that year. Has work to do kept to this level.

Killashee Warrior¹⁸⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Jamie Powell| T: E & P Harty| OR: 94

28/1

Fairly useful filly who didn't need to improve to win 11-runner maiden at Thurles (8.2f, good to soft) in October. Drops back to 7f here. Has some good pieces of form to her name and remains open to improvement.

Magny Cours¹⁶⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Ben Coen| T: Daniel McLoughlin| OR: 102

28/1

First past the post on debut at Listowel last year but was subsequently disqualified. Made the places on 3 other occasions, including an excellent 1¼ lengths second of 9 to Half Sovereign in Prix Miesque at Chantilly (7f, soft) in October, pulling clear of rest.

Mayflower²⁶²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Seamie Heffernan| T: Stephen Thorne| CD

20/1

Overcame inexperience to make a winning debut in 7-runner maiden (12/1) at this course (7.3f, good to soft) in July. The overall form of that race is ordinary and she looks up against it in deeper company having been absent since.

Form: 1-

Pivotal Attack¹⁹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: J M Sheridan| T: J G Murphy| OR: 102| D

10/1

Well-backed and showed a good turn of foot to get off the mark with something to spare at Galway on second start last year. Had that form reversed when 2¾ lengths second to Black Caviar Gold in Weld Park Stakes at the Curragh (7f, soft) in September. Will need to improve to feature.

River Ara¹⁷⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: J Cleary| T: A P O'Brien| OR: 93| C

18/1

Off the mark at the fourth attempt in 12-runner nursery at this course (1m, good to soft, 13/8) in October having dictated with a claimer in the saddle. Represents top yard but looks one for middle distances.

Form: 6231-

Slaney View¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Declan McDonogh| T: J S Bolger| OR: 77| BF

66/1

Lightly-raced maiden who's made the places on each start, latest when second of 12 in maiden at the Curragh (6f, heavy, 11/4) 15 days ago, pulling clear of rest. Has some big entries but hard to see her landing a blow here on what we've seen so far.

Form: 23-2

Suzie Songs²¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Gary Carroll| T: G M Lyons| OR: 101

10/1

Made a promising start to her career by winning her first 2 starts, including a Group 3 at the Curragh. Hooded for 1st time and finished well-held last of 7 to Precise in Moyglare Stud Stakes there (7f, good to soft) in September, refusing to settle. Can get back on the up with the headgear off.

Forecasts

True Love (3/1), Black Caviar Gold (3/1), Composing (4/1), Caught U Sleeping (7/1), Pivotal Attack (10/1), Suzie Songs (10/1), Blanc De Blanc (14/1), Kensington Lane (18/1), River Ara (18/1), Mayflower (20/1), Magny Cours (28/1), Killashee Warrior (28/1), Slaney View (66/1), Anushka (80/1), White Lily (150/1)

An interesting renewal of this trial for the Irish 1000 Guineas and preference is for BLACK CAVIAR GOLD who signed off last year with a pair of wins and represents a yard who won this 2 years ago with subsequent Guineas runner-up A Lilac Rolla. True Love is a big danger if fully tuned up on her return and should see out the longer trip on paper, while Suzie Songs can't be ignored on her earlier pieces of form.
