Previous results

In depth

Formwatch

Candice (IRE) Reportedly needed the run last time and has questions to answer over the distance.

Flight of Fancy Shaped as though the longer trip will suit when putting in her best work at the finish time out but has plenty of improvement to find.

Foodbroker Fancy (IRE) Consistent filly who won well last time out but is relatively exposed and others hold a more favourable profile.

Gay Heroine Only twice raced and has shown up well once into her stride, will probably get the trip and holds and place prospects if she doesn't give too much ground away in the early stages

Imagine (IRE) Pedigree suggests the distance will not be a problem and any runner from the O'Brien camp has to be feared at present, holds a favourites chance.

Mameha Best effort when third in a Warwick Maiden and is unlikely to figure.

Mot Juste Won her two races to date well and is one for the short list.

Najah (IRE) Showed good speed on her racecourse debut at Leopardstown and could be anything.

Relish The Thought (IRE) Will have benefited from her good second in the Musidora and holds a chance if she settles.

Santa Isobel Benefited from a strong ride from Kieren Fallon last time but overall profile doesn't look good enough.

Silver Grey Lady (IRE) Will need to improve considerably to figure.

Sunstone Another who will need to find improvement to trouble the principles

Tarfshi Improved with each outing and another who could steal a place if handling the step up in trip.

Zanzibar (IRE) Impressive winner of the Italian Oaks, faces stiffer opposition here but cannot be discounted.
