The Joseph O'Brien-trained, ERIA can get off the mark for family connections at the fourth attempt following a number of encouraging starts since debut in July. The daughter of Zoffany may just have enough to hold off the attentions of high-profile debutante, Askerana for the Dermot Weld yard. The Jessica Harrington-trained, For Your Eyes and Lighthouse Lady for the Edmond Kent yard appear capable of hitting the frame once again having had many chances to win already.
