Formscan By Alan Magee - SPARAN NUA has impressed on both starts and is taken to cope with this step up in class and distance to complete a hat-trick. The daughter of Dawn Approach made a successful debut in a Naas maiden and again finished strongly when following up over an extended 1m1f at Gowran. Riding arrangements suggest Nyra is preferred of Joseph O’Brien’s trio and the German Group 3 winner should progress from her seasonal debut at the Curragh last month. Beset has scored twice at Listed level including over this trip at the Curragh but may prefer an ease, while Perfect Your Craft was a progressive handicapper for Ralph Beckett and went close on her first start for current connections.

For three years old and upwards fillies only
Weights - 3-y-o 8st 8lbs 4-y-o and up 9st 9lbs.
Penalties - (to count from 1st July, 2025) Winner of a Group 3 race 3lb extra Of a Group 2 or Group 1 race 5lb extra
