Hy Brasil is related to numerous winners including a USA Grade 1 winner while stable companion Monopoly will have found a mile too short at Dundalk. Hook Head cost 150,000gns and is a half-brother to seven winners while Hint Of Stars is stepping up to a more suitable trip. The latter remark also applies to Zanahiyr while Ayre's Hawk is from a smart staying family. LILLI MILENA made her debut in a very hot Thurles maiden in October won by Peaceful. She's by Dansili out of a Galileo mare so the trip shouldn't be a problem and she holds an Irish Oaks entry.
