Star Galaxy (11/10), Esquiline (10/3), Eziva (4/1), High Chieftess (7/1), All Time Great (10/1), Feathertop (12/1), Elsa's Pride (25/1), Fairytale Princess (28/1), Report (33/1), Ameerat Jumaira (33/1), Kirkuila (50/1)

It will look significant if the market speaks in favour of newcomer EZIVA, who looks the part on paper and an entry in the Irish Oaks suggests that she is held in high regard. Star Galaxy shaped with promise on her sole 2-y-o start and again when fourth of 10 in the Leopardstown maiden won by the potentially high-class Savethelastdance last month. She is the clear main danger ahead of Ballydoyle duo All Time Great and High Chieftess.
