Beibhinn²⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Declan McDonogh| T: J P O'Brien| D

25/1

Showed a really willing attitude when confirming debut promise in maiden at Listowel 4 weeks ago, edging out a subsequent winner with the pair clear. This is a big step up but she's open to further improvement.

Form: 41

Belle Of The Ball^h1³⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Shane Foley| T: Mrs J Harrington

16/1

Showed plenty of dash over C&D on debut and much improved when making all in convincing fashion in Cork maiden. However, another leap forward required at this level with a hood fitted back up in trip.

Form: 51

Cleodolinda²⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Gavin Ryan| T: Donnacha O'Brien

25/1

Had clearly learnt plenty from her debut when off the mark without too much fuss at Naas 3 weeks ago. Good deal to find stepping up from maiden company but step up in trip will suit.

Form: 21

Controlla¹⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Colin Keane| T: Robson Aguiar

12/1

Night of Thunder filly who ran a remarkable race pitched straight into pattern company when neck second to subsequent Queen Mary winner Victorious in Group 3 at Naas. Pulled too hard having been well backed in Windsor Castle at Royal Ascot since and well worth another chance.

Form: 20

Green Empress³⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Dylan Browne McMonagle| T: J P O'Brien

13/2

€55,000 yearling, Saxon Warrior filly. Half-sister to 2-y-o 1m winner Amberglen. Dam winner up to 1¼m (2-y-o 1m winner). Unfancied but showed plenty to work on when 5 lengths second of 9 to Sun Goddess in C&D maiden 5 weeks ago. Reopposing winner has since boosted the form.

Form: 2

Maggie Walker³⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Luke McAteer| T: D Marnane| D

66/1

€6,500 yearling, King of Change filly. Dam lightly-raced half-sister to very smart 7.4f-1½m winner Fawkner Park. Rare juvenile winner for the yard in Cork maiden last month. However, that form is ordinary and is this a big ask.

Form: 1

Sun Goddess⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: R L Moore| T: A P O'Brien| OR: 103| BF| CD

4/11

Confirmed debut promise with a dominant display in C&D maiden and caught only in the final 100 yds in the Albany at Royal Ascot last week. Sets a clear standard.

Form: 212

Velozee¹⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Billy Lee| T: P Twomey| OR: 99| C

15/2

Sioux Nation filly who made it 2-2 in a 5f listed race here but limitations rather exposed in better company since (over 6 lengths behind Controlla in Group 3 at Naas on penultimate start), though she did make late headway in the Queen Mary as though well worth another try at this trip.

Form: 1148

Forecasts

Sun Goddess (4/9), Velozee (7/1), Green Empress (15/2), Controlla (12/1), Cleodolinda (16/1), Beibhinn (16/1), Belle Of The Ball (20/1), Maggie Walker (33/1)

SUN GODDESS sets a high standard after her excellent second in the Albany at Royal Ascot last week and she can provide her yard with a fifth straight win in this. It's probably best to forgive Controlla's run in the Windsor Castle so she rates the main threat with her debut form proving very strong.
