Best effort came over this trip when beaten 4 lengths (having been outpaced) on qualifying run at Cork in June. Ran poorly in first-time cheekpieces over significantly further in Galway handicap latest (1m). No easy task at the weights back in maiden company, either.

Shaped well both starts to date, going close in a 6f Navan maiden that's worked out well latest. Drop to the minimum trip shouldn't inconvenience given the pace she's shown. The one to beat if returning from an 8-week break in the same form.

Showed speed before checking out tamely on debut at Cork (6f, good to firm, 50/1). Faces different conditions here and will probably benefit from time.

Went right way in maidens last year, finishing 3 lengths second on qualifying run at Dundalk (5f). Well below that form in a couple of handicap runs as a 3-y-o, though.

Far too free when beaten 12 lengths on debut at Naas (1m, 150/1). Hard to be confident, but she does at least drop to a trip more in keeping with her pedigree.

Sister to a useful sprinter. Well backed fourth behind some above average types first time up at Cork. Wasn't knocked about when beaten 6¼ lengths at Dundalk (5f) subsequently. Looks far from the finished article and isn't discounted if building on her debut at the second attempt.

Cotai Glory filly. Showed speed when 3¾ lengths fifth of 11 on debut at the Curragh (7f, good to firm, 14/1). That race has produced a couple of next-time out winners, and she looks interesting switched to sprinting by yard that knows the time of day.

Fared no better dropped into claiming company in first-time cheekpieces at Dundalk in March. Easy to look elsewhere.

Invincible Army filly. Half-sister to 3 winners, including useful 1m-1½m winner Just Sherry and winner up to 7f Bicep. Finished second of 7 in barrier trial at Leopardstown in August. Forza Magico probably stable's leading hope, unless betting suggests otherwise.

Runner-up in pair of Curragh maidens this time last year. Still some way off her best but ran better than for a while when 6¼ lengths fourth at Dundalk latest. Place claims if she can build on that. RESERVE

Forecasts

Forza Magico (6/5), Otsana (7/4), Osterode (4/1), Kiss Don't Tell (10/1), In The Gloaming (10/1), Tudor Flame (33/1), Gaineamh Min (66/1), Orellana (66/1), Sassy Boom (150/1), Banish Misfortune (150/1), Sarfarcat (200/1), Basilano (250/1)

Verdict

FORZA MAGICO has been shaping up well and ought to make it third time lucky. Otsana and Osterode both look credible dangers.
