Shaped well when second at Cork 1 1/2l in front of today's rival Liltia, shorter trip now
13 (11)	Touch The Sound Bay J:J M Sheridan T:J A Stack	J:J M Sheridan T:J A Stack	129	—	72	-	86	56	16d	—	—	-10	11.2	0.75/1	3/1 25%
Went close against a Ballydoyle-trained colt at Leopardstown, should be in the mix again
7 (3)	Lucky Melody Grey J:Nathan Crosse T:Mrs John Harrington	J:Nathan Crosse T:Mrs John Harrington	129	—	46	-	79	77	70d	—	—	-11	4.4	1.63/1	13/2 13%
Good run first time out at Leopardstown, softer ground may not have suited at the Curragh
5 (6)	Golden Ocean Bay J:Seamie Heffernan T:M D O'Callaghan	J:Seamie Heffernan T:M D O'Callaghan	129	—	45	-	79	71	86d	—	—	-11	4.4	1.38/1	11/2 15%
Debut was more promising than her second run at Leopardstown, perhaps capable of better
6 (8)	Liltia Bay J:Declan McDonogh T:W McCreery	J:Declan McDonogh T:W McCreery	129	—	63	-	84	79	22d	—	—	-4	5.9	1.88/1	15/2 12%
Has a bit to find with North Africa on Cork running, this shorter trip may not be ideal
9 (7)	Our Katie Girl Bay J:Colin Keane T:Gerard Keane	J:Colin Keane T:Gerard Keane	129	—	—	-	-	-	—	—	—	-4	1.4	4.50/1	18/1 5%
Noteworthy as a half-sister to the Galway Hurdle winner Nurburgring, family of Shamardal
12 (12)	Star Of Phoenix Bay J:Robbie Colgan T:Miss Natalia Lupini	J:Robbie Colgan T:Miss Natalia Lupini	129	—	—	-	-	-	—	—	—	-3	1	6.25/1	25/1 4%
Second foal dam a middle-distance winner by Galileo in good hands, makes belated debut
2 (1)	Gear Flat Bay J:Chris Hayes T:William Durkan	J:Chris Hayes T:William Durkan	134	—	—	-	-	-	—	—	—	-2	0.8	8.25/1	33/1 3%
Closely related to a 1m AW juvenile winner, makes a belated debut at six, best watched.
1 (2)	Dark Willow Bay J:Benjamin P Kennedy(7) T:Mrs Mary Whelehan	J:Benjamin P Kennedy(7) T:Mrs Mary Whelehan	134	—	8/096-	-	56	12	355d	—	—	-1	0.2	37.50/1	150/1 1%
Not disgraced over 7f on her final start last season, faces a very tough task here
11 (9)	Sister Lily Bay J:Killian Leonard T:R P Burns	J:Killian Leonard T:R P Burns	129	—	—	-	-	-	—	—	—	-1	0.2	50.00/1	200/1 0%
Half-sister to 1m AW winner Sister Bridget, likely to need experience
10 (10)	Sea Of Beauty Bay J:Rory Cleary T:Eoin Griffin	J:Rory Cleary T:Eoin Griffin	129	—	09	-	58	-	11d	—	—	-1	0.2	50.00/1	200/1 0%
Never in contention in maidens at Gowran and Bellewstown, unlikely to feature
NR (13)	Authenticate Bay J:Dylan Browne McMonagle T:Joseph Patrick O'Brien	J:Dylan Browne McMonagle T:Joseph Patrick O'Brien	129	—	9	-	65	-	147d	—	—	—	0	—	—
Cost 680,000gns as a yearling, well-related, made little impression on AW first time out
NR (5)	Final Curtain Bay J:TBC T:J P Murtagh	J: T:J P Murtagh	129	—	4	-	80	40	42d	—	—	—	0	—	—
Raced keenly on debut at Gowran; showed enough to suggest she could be a factor now
