Arrietty⁶⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Declan McDonogh| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 77| BF

13/2

Showed ability both starts at 2 yrs and likewise on the all-weather at Dundalk during the winter, narrowly beaten upped to this trip the last twice. Should give another good account.

Form: 42-622

(4)

Cape Primrose^p1¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: R L Moore| T: A P O'Brien| OR: 79

9/2

St Mark's Basilica filly who stepped up on her 2-y-o debut fifth at Naas when going close in a 9-runner Thurles maiden in October. However, she failed to improve upped to 9.6f on return at Gowran recently and is now tried in cheekpieces.

Form: 52-4

Cite Florale¹⁵⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Billy Lee| T: H De Bromhead

80/1

Beaten over 10 lengths when sixth of 12 on her introduction at Dundalk (1m) in November and she's probably more of a long-term prospect.

Form: 6-

De Songbird¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Sadhbh Tormey⁽⁷⁾| T: T G McCourt

200/1

Wasn't entirely disgraced on recent debut at Leopardstown (1m, soft) but will need to take a sizeable step forward if she's to emerge on top here.

Form: 7

French Blond

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Robert Whearty| T: G P Cromwell

40/1

€62,000 yearling, Almanzor filly. Dam winner up to 1m (2-y-o 6f-7f winner). Interesting to see what the market has to say. Yard saddles another newcomer in Soigne.

Form:

(7)

Glyfada²⁴

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

6/4

Camelot filly who made a highly promising start to her career when runner-up on debut at the Curragh (9f, heavy) earlier this month. Obvious claims here with that experience to now draw upon.

Form: 2

(9)

Shambata

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Ben Coen| T: J P Murtagh

20/1

New Bay filly. Dam, 7f winner, half-sister to smart 10.7f-14.4f winner Shembala out of useful 7f winner (stayed 1¼m) Shebella. The betting should offer an indication of what is expected of this filly first time out.

Form:

(5)

Soigne

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Gary Carroll| T: G P Cromwell

33/1

€52,000 yearling, Ghaiyyath filly. Half-sister to 3 winners, including 2-y-o 7f winner Convection and 1m winner Angelica K. Presumably the stable first-string ahead of French Blond but the betting will likely point the way in that respect.

Sounds Great¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Shane Foley| T: Mrs J Harrington

2/1

Churchill filly hails from a family her yard knows well. Showed promise sole 2-y-o start and bettered that when second in a 7-runner Gowran maiden on return with Cape Primrose back in fourth. Remains open to improvement.

Form: 4-2

Forecasts

Glyfada (6/4), Sounds Great (2/1), Cape Primrose (9/2), Arrietty (13/2), Charm Of Venice (14/1), Shambata (20/1), Soigne (33/1), French Blond (40/1), Cite Florale (80/1), De Songbird (200/1)

GLYFADA shaped like a ready-made future winner when chasing home one who had the benefit of experience at the Curragh and, with the promise of better to come, she gets the nod. She will probably have most to fear from Sounds Great, who stepped up on what she showed on her sole 2-y-o start when runner-up in a Gowran maiden and, as in the case of Glyfada, there should be better to come from this filly. Arrietty and Cape Primrose can do battle for minor honours.
