Nowshesdancing (F)
Teofilo filly who made a winning start to her career in 8-runner Dundalk maiden (10.7f) in January for Mark Fahey. That form is nothing special but she's open to improvement having joined Harry Eustace.

Lady Buttercup (M)
Bumper winner but only poor form over hurdles. Also didn't achieve much in 2 Flat outings last autumn. Won't be of any interest in this sphere until handicapping.

Matilda Bea (F)
Australia filly. Half-sister to several winners, including useful winner up to 1m Nicklaus and German 2-y-o 6f winner Nossa. Bred to have a future but this is a belated debut and she's likely best watched this time.

Sea The Storm (F)
FAV
Sea the Stars filly who made a winning debut at Sandown and produced a useful effort when second in a German Group 3 (both 1m, soft) for David Menuisier last autumn. Likely hard to beat on return for new trainer William Haggas.

Ceinture D'orion (F)
€210,000 Sea The Stars filly. Closely related to 9.5f/10.4f winner Demonstration and half-sister to several winners, including winner up to 6f Jouska. Dam winner. It'll be interesting to see what the betting makes of her.

Pierian (F)
Palace Pier filly. Closely related to 1¼m winner Noble Horizon and half-sister to several winners, including smart winner up to 2m Dubhe. Dam 1¼m-1½m winner. Noteworthy newcomer but Sea The Storm has to be considered the yard first string …

Well held on all-weather and turf in recent weeks. Significant improvement will be needed.
