Mayflower²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-12| J: Jack Kearney⁽³⁾| T: Stephen Thorne| OR: 92

10/1

Overcame inexperience to make a winning start in a Leopardstown maiden last summer before returning to finish mid-field in a pair of Group 3 events this year, shaping well on the first occasion. Makes handicap debut and may yet have more to offer.

Form: 1-66

Stars Will Shine²¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Oisin Murphy| T: N Meade| OR: 87

11/2

Won 12-runner maiden at Down Royal (7.1f, good to soft) in September, but was possibly unsuited by the testing conditions upped in grade and trip at this course the following month, Makes handicap debut after 7 months off and remains capable of better.

Form: 315-

White Sand Beach^p²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: R L Moore| T: A P O'Brien| OR: 85

10/1

Well-bred filly who was placed in maidens on her first 4 starts, including when 1¾ lengths third of 10 to Drop Dead Gorgeous at Naas on return. Finished last of 12 when upped in grade last time and, though Ryan Moore is clearly no negative, she looks highly unlikely to live up to her pedigree.

Form: 232-30

Prevalence²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Nicola Burns⁽⁵⁾| T: G M Lyons| OR: 83

5/1

Value for extra when winning 7f maiden at Dundalk last November. Shaped well and looked ahead of her mark when 1¼ lengths third of 12 to Spinning Around at Curragh on return. Step up to 1m should suit and open to further progress. Looks the one to beat.

Form: 01-3

Anushka²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Billy Lee| T: H De Bromhead| OR: 81

13/2

Off the mark over 7f at Dundalk last October. Out of depth in Group 3 on return but back on track when 2 lengths fifth of 12 to Spinning Around on handicap debut here 20 days ago. Step up to 1m will suit on pedigree but she's also shown a tendency to race freely.

Form: 631-05

Cherry Hill Girl⁴²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Ben Coen| T: A Slattery| OR: 81| D

16/1

Fairly useful filly who won 1m maiden at Listowel in 2025. Hasn't kicked on in handicaps since, though, including both outings this year. Drops back in trip but has improvement to find.

Form: 3613-77

Green Carrera^t²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Dylan Browne McMonagle| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 81| D

4/1

Built on debut promise to win a maiden at Thurles last October but failed to give her running in a listed race at Pontefract later that month. Shaped well when 1¼ lengths second of 12 to Spinning Around in 7f handicap here on return from 7-month absence. One to consider back at 1m.

Form: 614-2

Expert Dancer^v1²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Andrew Slattery| T: A Slattery| OR: 80

12/1

Shaped with promise on all 4 starts to date, again doing her best work at the finish when third in a 7f Limerick maiden 29 days ago. Open to improvement now upped to 1m and tackling a handicap for the first time. Wears first-time visor.

Form: 43-33

(6)

Goomah¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Wayne Lordan| T: N Lupini| OR: 77| BF

14/1

Stepped up juvenile efforts when ¾-length third of 9 to Halon Bay (74) in maiden at Leopardstown on return from 8-month absence 14 days ago. Bred to stay even further than 1m, so step up in trip shouldn't be an issue, but improvement clearly needed on handicap bow.

Form: 76-3

Liberation Date⁸⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: Luke McAteer| T: Jack Foley| OR: 76

50/1

Won a maiden at Dundalk in December but found out in better company when ninth of 9 in conditions race there in February. Makes her handicap debut.

Form: 531-9

Punica Granatum²³⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: Shane Foley| T: Mrs J Harrington| OR: 75

7/1

Best effort as a 2-y-o when 1¾ lengths second of 14 to Morehampton in maiden at Gowran (7f, good to firm) on second outing. Steps up in trip on handicap debut.

Form: 420-

Glamazon^p¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: Keithen Kennedy⁽⁵⁾| T: Mrs J Harrington| OR: 66

22/1

Benefited from the addition of cheekpieces when finally getting off the mark in 7-runner 9.5f maiden at Ballinrobe 16 days ago, albeit without showing improvement. Out of the weights reverting to handicap company.

Form: 740-541

Forecasts

Green Carrera (4/1), Prevalence (5/1), Stars Will Shine (11/2), Anushka (13/2), Punica Granatum (7/1), Mayflower (10/1), White Sand Beach (10/1), Expert Dancer (12/1), Goomah (14/1), Cherry Hill Girl (16/1), Glamazon (22/1), Liberation Date (50/1)

PREVALENCE shaped as if ahead of her mark on return and is expected to prove that now stepping up in trip. Green Carrera is another who shaped well in similar company last time and is feared most, while Mayflower has more to offer now switched to handicaps after contesting a pair of 1000 Guineas trials.
