Verdict

A maiden with a remarkable history of producing Group 1 winners and ALPHA looks another exciting prospect. She's taken to confirm her debut form with Ibelieveicanfly and notch a fifth consecutive win in the race for Aidan O'Brien. Livenka could improve markedly from her debut effort so is one to take seriously.

Verdict
Sea The Stars filly (out of Irish 1000 Guineas winner Alpha Centauri) who shaped very promisingly from a less-than-ideal position when runner-up at Leopardstown (7f) on debut. That performance is backed up by the clock and she can go one better.

Verdict
Shaped better than the result when fourth on debut at Leopardstown (7f, soft), possibly just needing the run a bit more than expected, and while Ryan Moore switches to Alpha, there's almost certainly better to come from this daughter of Frankel.

Verdict
From an excellent Juddmonte family that the yard has had success with and shaped with plenty of encouragement when third at Naas (6f) on debut in late-April, not knocked about. Looks the type to do much better and is fancied to be firmly in the mix over a longer trip.

Foaled April 4. Into Mischief filly. Half-sister to several winners, including top-class winner up to 1½m City of Troy. Dam, 2-y-o 1m (Fillies' Mile) winner who stayed 1½m, sister to Oaks winner Forever Together. Bred in the purple but doesn't look the leading hope of her powerful stable.

Wootton Bassett filly. Dam, 1m winner, half-sister to useful 10.7f-1½m winner (stays 1¾m) London City out of British/Irish 1000 Guineas winner (2-y-o 7f winner) Winter. Betting should guide for yard saddling 3 newcomers in the race.

Foaled February 20. €75,000 yearling, Sea The Moon filly. Dam useful French winner up to 1½m (2-y-o 9.4f winner). Makes some appeal on paper but is more likely to be a long-term prospect.

Foaled April 17. St Mark's Basilica filly. Sister to smart winner up to 7.4f Thesecretadversary. Dam 1m-9.4f winner. Makes some appeal on pedigree but she's pitched into a potentially hot maiden on debut.

Foaled February 17. €230,000 yearling, Starman filly. Dam 1½m-13.3f winner who stayed 2½m. Stable in good form. One of several in the race with a Group 1 entry and the market should offer plenty of clues.

Verdict
€220,000 Sioux Nation filly who is bred more for speed and stamina, and while she'll improve on her fifth behind Alpha/Ibelieveicanfly on debut at Leopardstown (when not given a hard time), the Ballydoyle pair are also expected to progress.
