Alpha²⁴

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

8/11

Sea The Stars filly (out of Irish 1000 Guineas winner Alpha Centauri) who shaped very promisingly from a less-than-ideal position when runner-up at Leopardstown (7f) on debut. That performance is backed up by the clock and she can go one better.

Form: 2

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Chris Hayes| T: Donnacha O'Brien

40/1

Foaled February 17. €230,000 yearling, Starman filly. Dam 1½m-13.3f winner who stayed 2½m. Stable in good form. One of several in the race with a Group 1 entry and the market should offer plenty of clues.

Endless Night

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Seamie Heffernan| T: J A Stack

33/1

Foaled April 17. St Mark's Basilica filly. Sister to smart winner up to 7.4f Thesecretadversary. Dam 1m-9.4f winner. Makes some appeal on pedigree but she's pitched into a potentially hot maiden on debut.

Exceptionally

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: J Cleary⁽⁵⁾| T: A P O'Brien

16/1

Foaled April 4. Into Mischief filly. Half-sister to several winners, including top-class winner up to 1½m City of Troy. Dam, 2-y-o 1m (Fillies' Mile) winner who stayed 1½m, sister to Oaks winner Forever Together. Bred in the purple but doesn't look the leading hope of her powerful stable.

Exchange Student²⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Andrew Slattery| T: J A Stack

200/1

Looked badly in need of the experience when down the field in a Listowel maiden on debut and it's hard to see her making an impact.

Form: 7

Ibelieveicanfly²⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Wayne Lordan| T: A P O'Brien| BF

5/1

Shaped better than the result when fourth on debut at Leopardstown (7f, soft), possibly just needing the run a bit more than expected, and while Ryan Moore switches to Alpha, there's almost certainly better to come from this daughter of Frankel.

Form: 4

Isle Of Capri

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

28/1

Wootton Bassett filly. Dam, 1m winner, half-sister to useful 10.7f-1½m winner (stays 1¾m) London City out of British/Irish 1000 Guineas winner (2-y-o 7f winner) Winter. Betting should guide for yard saddling 3 newcomers in the race.

Littlepacer²⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Ben Coen| T: J P Murtagh

250/1

Looked one for the longer term when down the field at Leopardstown (7f, soft, 80/1) on debut and is taking on some better-calibre rivals.

Form: 8

Livenka⁶²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Colin Keane| T: G M Lyons| BF

5/2

From an excellent Juddmonte family that the yard has had success with and shaped with plenty of encouragement when third at Naas (6f) on debut in late-April, not knocked about. Looks the type to do much better and is fancied to be firmly in the mix over a longer trip.

Form: 3

Old Joanie

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Luke McAteer| T: J M Barrett

200/1

Foaled March 28. €38,000 yearling, State of Rest filly. Half-sister to 1m winner Devoirs Choice and 1¼m winner Reason's Power. Other newcomers appeal more on pedigree.

Form:

Pretty Thoughts

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Rory Cleary| T: C W J Farrell

80/1

Foaled February 19. €20,000 yearling, Gregorian filly. Dam unraced half-sister to smart winner up to 1m Johan out of useful 2-y-o 6f winner Sandreamer. Probably up against it on debut.

Form:

(8)

Samnina

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

50/1

Foaled February 20. €75,000 yearling, Sea The Moon filly. Dam useful French winner up to 1½m (2-y-o 9.4f winner). Makes some appeal on paper but is more likely to be a long-term prospect.

Social Circle

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Paddy Harnett⁽⁵⁾| T: Donnacha O'Brien

66/1

Foaled January 22. Wootton Bassett filly. Dam 1m-1¼m winner. In good hands but doesn't look the stable first string on jockey bookings.

Forecasts

Alpha (8/11), Livenka (5/2), Ibelieveicanfly (5/1), Alpine Wedding (10/1), Exceptionally (16/1), Isle Of Capri (28/1), Endless Night (33/1), Alreem (40/1), Samnina (50/1), Social Circle (66/1), Pretty Thoughts (80/1), Old Joanie (200/1), Exchange Student (200/1), Littlepacer (250/1)

A maiden with a remarkable history of producing Group 1 winners and ALPHA looks another exciting prospect. She's taken to confirm her debut form with Ibelieveicanfly and notch a fifth consecutive win in the race for Aidan O'Brien. Livenka could improve markedly from her debut effort so is one to take seriously.
