Verdict
Soineanta ran in some decent maidens last season, including when runner-up at Leopardstown in October. She had Bestrella back in fifth that day and LOVELIER around six lengths away in ninth but there are reasons why the latter can reverse the form. Friendless in the market, the full sister to Winter ran very green and, with her stable already firing on all cylinders, looks the one to be on. Ubume is a half-sister to five winners but was undoubtedly disappointing in two starts at Dundalk earlier this year while Magic Chegaga was beaten a long way here in October, though may not have been suited by heavy ground. Larelai is a half-sister to a winning two-year-old over this trip and her dam won over the distance on the all-weather while the Godolphin-owned Marionette has an outstanding pedigree and is one to keep an eye on.
