25/1

Night of Thunder filly. 160,000 gns yearling. Closely related to smart winner up to 8.6f Khaloosy (by Dubawi) and half-sister to useful 1m winner Moqtarreb (by Kingman) and 2-y-o 7f winner Zaajel (by Awtaad). Bred to be useful on paper but pitched into deep waters for debut.

20/1

Magna Grecia filly overcame significant greenness to win a 10-runner maiden at Roscommon (7.5f, good) on debut 6 days ago. Open to improvement but isn't really bred to appreciate this drop back in trip.

Form: 1

Maria Quiteria⁵¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Donagh O'Connor| T: Robson Aguiar

11/1

Backed as if defeat was out the question when winning on debut at Dundalk (4/9F) in March, doing so in the manner of an above average prospect. Steps up to Group 3 company on turf but can progress again.

Form: 1

Velozee¹³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Billy Lee| T: P Twomey

7/4

Sioux Nation filly made a winning debut in a Cork maiden before following up in ready fashion in a 4-runner listed race (4/1) at the Curragh (5f, good) 13 days ago. Capable of better again and looks the one to beat.

Form: 11

Victorious²⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: R L Moore| T: A P O'Brien| CD

10/11

Wootton Bassett filly from a high-class Coolmore family overcame inexperience to make a winning debut in a 6-runner C&D maiden (good) 3 weeks ago. Strength at the finish there was taking and she's open to plenty to improvement.

Form: 1

(5)

Vollering²⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Hollie Doyle| T: A Watson

14/1

Sioux Nation filly cost £58,000 as a yearling, Knew her job when winning a 9-runner novice at Redcar (5f, good, 5/2) on debut in convincing fashion 27 days ago. Longer trip here won't pose a problem and she's open to progress.

Form: 1

Forecasts

Victorious (10/11), Velozee (7/4), Maria Quiteria (11/1), Vollering (14/1), Dancing Destiny (20/1), Controlla (25/1)

All 5 fillies with experience are unbeaten but preference is for VELOZEE, who showed a useful turn of foot to run away with a listed event at the Curragh last time. Maria Quiteria and Victorious might pose the biggest threats in what promises to be an informative heat.
