Plenty of strong contenders from the leading yards, with MY SHAYLA getting the vote having lost out on the nod to one who got first run at Leopardstown recently. Joyous Heart, Flower Forest and Nautic Star are prominent among the dangers.

Siyouni filly from an excellent Coolmore family. Made a promising start at Cork in April but failed to justify support 5 months on at Roscommon (7.5f), still looking green. Clearly thought capable of better and worth sticking with.

Verdict
Siyouni filly who cost €400,000 as a yearling. Didn't progress from her promising debut in a sales race at Deauville (7f) in August 2025, pulling hard on all-weather when last seen in November. Has joined a top yard and worth another chance with that debut form reading well.

Verdict
Continues to shape up well, proving one paced when beaten 2 lengths by Manton Bay (second in the Irish Cambridgeshire since) at Killarney (1m) a fortnight ago. Might benefit from further but she's a leading contender here in first-time tongue tie/refitted cheekpieces.

Looks to have plenty of ability and shaped well after 4 months off when second in front of Dandymaria at Roscommon (7.5f, 22/1), only just failing to peg back one that had enjoyed the run of things having been forced deep on the track. Can progress further.
