Churchill Bond³¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: Billy Lee| T: P Twomey

6/1

Expensive breeze-up purchase. Relatively easy to back when beaten just over 6½ lengths (behind Miss Twilight) on debut at Leopardstown (7f, 10/3). She's in excellent hands, though, and reasonable to expect better given her Group 1 entry.

Form: 7

Armarone's Girl³¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-1| J: Robbie Colgan| T: Cian Hughes

150/1

Has an ordinary pedigree and ran to only a modest level when 6½ lengths sixth of 12 (behind Miss Twilight) on debut at Leopardstown.

Form: 6

Estado De La Luna

Age: 2| Weight: 9-1| J: Gary Carroll| T: J P O'Brien

25/1

Foaled April 18. 80,000 gns yearling, State of Rest filly. Dam once-raced sister to smart 8.5f-15f winner Up Helly Aa out of smart 6f-1m winner Fiesolana. Looks the yard second string on jockey bookings.

Lunar Empress²⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-1| J: Shane Foley| T: Mrs J Harrington

4/1

From a family yard has had success with. Made an encouraging start when best of the rest behind Folson Blues on debut at Gowran. Didn't build on that when beaten 5¼ lengths in a better maiden at Galway and looks held by Silver Kiss on that form.

Form: 25

(17)

Reyika

Age: 2| Weight: 9-1| J: Ben Coen| T: J P Murtagh

33/1

Foaled April 22. Sea The Moon filly. Half-sister to useful 1¼m winner Reyenzi. Dam twice-raced half-sister to smart 2-y-o 7f winner Raydara. Stable knows this family well and the market can guide first time up.

Autumn Gray

Age: 2| Weight: 8-13| J: Jamie Powell| T: E & P Harty

125/1

Foaled April 27. €95,000 yearling, Saxon Warrior filly. Half-sister to several winners, including 6f/7f winner Diagnostic and 7f winner Wizard d'Amour. Dam unraced sister to useful 6f winner Prescription and half-sister to smart winner up to 1¼m Cupid's Glory. Probably one for the longer term.

Coastal Wonder³¹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-13| J: Rory Mulligan⁽⁵⁾| T: John O'Donoghue

40/1

Useful pedigree. Wasn't given a hard time when beaten 8½ lengths behind a handful of today's rivals on debut at Leopardstown. Should do better at some point, possibly in handicaps.

Form: 9

Green Nature

Age: 2| Weight: 8-13| J: Declan McDonogh| T: J P O'Brien

18/1

Foaled February 28. €160,000 yearling, Cracksman filly. Dam, 2-y-o 5f winner, half-sister to very smart winner up to 6f Manaccan. Interesting newcomer, especially if supported.

Form:

(4)

Lusted⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 8-13| J: Andrew Slattery| T: J Halley

250/1

Inexpensive purchase. Showed a bit more than on debut when beaten less than 6 lengths at Dundalk (200/1) last time. One for handicaps.

Form: 05

(5)

Silver Kiss²⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 8-13| J: Chris Hayes| T: D K Weld

6/5

Hails from a talented Moyglare family. Wasn't given a hard time when third to a couple of exciting prospects on debut at Fairyhouse (6f). Improved for longer trip when 1½ lengths third (second improved since) at Galway. The form pick and more to come if settling better.

Form: 33

(2)

Star Glory²¹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-13| J: Gavin Ryan| T: N Meade| OR: 81

11/1

Stepped forward from debut when ½-length second at Leopardstown, beating subsequent winner Sea Of Rain. Looked ill at ease on the track when beaten 5½ lengths at Galway subsequently. This course will suit better, and she could well be in the shake-up.

Form: 625

(12)

Wecouldavehaditall²⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 8-13| J: Nathan Crosse| T: Daniel McLoughlin

200/1

Held back by inexperience on debut at Galway (50/1). Likely to need more time.

Form: 9

(7)

Maeda Matsu²⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: Rory Cleary| T: S Lavery

7/1

Made an encouraging start when best of the rest behind promising Livenka (also beat Silver Kiss on debut) at this course (6f). Makes plenty of appeal with improvement likely over this longer trip (half-sister to a useful 7f winner).

Form: 2

Arizonaneargalway¹¹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-9| J: Mel Sheridan⁽⁷⁾| T: D Hogan

300/1

No impact at long odds in 3 starts.

Form: 088

(14)

Miss Twilight³¹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-9| J: Luke McAteer| T: Rory Devine

10/1

Has an ordinary pedigree. Showed plenty to work on when 3¾ lengths third on debut at Leopardstown (7f), beating several of today's rivals. Entitled to progress but this looks a stronger maiden.

Form: 3

(8)

Scarlet Dream⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: Leigh Roche| T: A McGuinness

150/1

Contested a barrier trial but looked one for later on when mid-field in a Dundalk maiden (6f, 50/1) 8 days ago. RESERVE.

Forecasts

Silver Kiss (6/5), Lunar Empress (4/1), Churchill Bond (6/1), Maeda Matsu (7/1), Miss Twilight (10/1), Star Glory (11/1), Green Nature (18/1), Pas De Deux (20/1), Estado De La Luna (25/1), Reyika (33/1), Coastal Wonder (40/1), Autumn Gray (125/1), Scarlet Dream (150/1), Armarone's Girl (150/1), Wecouldavehaditall (200/1), Bex Noir (200/1), Lusted (250/1), Arizonaneargalway (300/1)

It's hard to get away from SILVER KISS, who built on her strong debut form when third at Galway last time. Likely improver Maeda Matsu looks the chief threat, while Star Glory and Churchill Bond also need considering.
