Of those with form in the book, Shamanka and Lady Plimsoll both have solid each-way possibilities again. Joseph O'Brien throws two into the hat and jockey bookings would suggest Snapaurum is the yard's best chance. Athlumney Warrior has a lovely staying pedigree and must be respected on his debut, but 120,000euros purchase UMALA gets the nod. Adrian Murray's filly is bred to be above-average and she might prove to be up to the job on her debut. [Adrian Wall]

First foal; £105,000 yearling; dam 1m winner/Group 3 placed at 1m4f (RPR 102), half-sister to winners Snapraeterea (7f/7.5f Listed) and Pedisnap (7f/1m), out of 6.5f-1m1f winner; stable mop up maidens around here but gelded and tongue-tied for debut a slight concern.
Fourth foal; 5,000gns foal, 4,000euros vendor yearling; dam placed 6f (RPR 56), half-sister to Group-placed 5f-6f winner Autumn Pearl (dam of useful 5f/6f winner Pabusar), out of 5f winning half-sister to King's Stand winner Bolshoi; bred to be speedy so the trip could be a stretch.

Kept on well from rear in 7f fillies' maiden here on debut; improved for step up to 1m when runner-up behind surprise 50-1 winner over C&D latest; decent chance of getting involved again.

Well held on debut here over 7f but showed marked improvement when third over the same C&D from a wide draw last month; had Lady Plimsoll behind in sixth on that occasion; she's bred for speed so has stamina to prove over the extra furlong.
Fifth foal; 120,000euros yearling; half-sister to winners Libre (7f-12.5f inc AW/German Listed; RPR 100) and Pretty Flag (KSA 1m/1m2f); unraced dam closely related to 1m2f winner Aryaamm, half-sister to 7f 2yo winner/Irish 2,000 Guineas third Oracle; stable 2-5 with 3yos in AW maidens last year; contender.
