FormscanBy Michael Graham - Chinese Light is likely to be very popular for the all-conquering Weld and Smullen team. However, she was turned over at odds on in Tipperary nine days ago and may not represent value. In that race she led and was outpointed in the final furlong while keeping on one-paced. She may prove vulnerable. NATURAL WOMAN, representing Kevin Prendergast, made a useful debut in Cork and can go one better. She ran freely there, but the penny dropped in the final furlong where she stayed on well to take second. She showed an ability to handle heavy ground and should show improvement from that effort. Her run in sixth behind Jack Naylor last year in Roscommon looks better and better considering Jack Naylor was a subsequent Group 3 winner and was Group One placed. Natural Woman holds a Group 3 entry in the Athasi Stakes. Aidan O'Brien's newcomer Fluff should be monitored in the market. The daughter of Galileo holds entries in the Irish Oaks and Irish 1,000 Guineas. Sea The Stars filly Blue Paraiba is of obvious interest in a good maiden contest. She also has entries in the Oaks and Guineas.
