Proved herself useful for Waldemar Hickst last summer, winning a Hamburg Group 3 prior to finishing a close third in the German Oaks. Respectable start for this yard when fourth in listed race at the Curragh on return and better is expected now.

Developed into a useful filly for Sir Mark Prescott Bt last season, winning 4 times. Sold for 150,000gns and interesting that new connections pitch her in at this level on return.

Finally off the mark on reappearance at Roscommon. Excellent second in handicap at the Curragh since but looks up against it here.

3/1
Progressive 3-time winner for Ralph Beckett. Sold for 300,000 gns and went very close to making a winning start for new connections in 20-runner handicap at the Curragh on return 3 weeks ago. Worth a shot at this level with headgear applied.

Wootton Bassett filly who won 16-runner Gowran maiden in September. Useful form when placed at a higher level both starts this season and can make presence felt in first-time headgear.

Second on all-weather debut in April before going one better in maiden at Leopardstown. Bit underwhelming when only third in listed event at Naas since, however, and this much tougher.

Won Gowran maiden last summer and matched that form when third in a Curragh Group 3 in October. Tailed off both starts this season, however, and headgear now applied.

Dawn Approach filly who made it 2 wins from 2 in minor event at Gowran, not yet the finished article but well on top at the finish. Likely to stay and looks ready for this higher grade.

Forecasts

Sparan Nua (11/4), Perfect Your Craft (3/1), Eretria (5/1), Nyra (6/1), Beset (6/1), Bosphorus Rose (7/1), Bloom (8/1), Marazion (14/1), Jannah Star (50/1), Ice Dancer (50/1)

Verdict

The unbeaten SPARAN NUA looks potentially smart so she can find the required improvement to beat Joseph O'Brien's pair Nyra and Beset.

  1. Nyra6/1
