FormscanBy Gary Carson - WILLOW looks like the type that could take a significant step forward this season. She's a big filly and would be entitled to mature into her frame with a winter on her back. The daughter of American Pharoah and brilliant race-mare Peeping Fawn took three runs to win her maiden last season and progressed with racing. She was impressive when opening her account at Leopardstown, stretching away late on, and given her mother excelled over middle distances going up in trip now can only help. Thinking Of You sets the standard off a mark of 102 having been placed in Group 3 company last season. She didn't run up to form on her last outing at Newmarket and this better ground may help as she's also a daughter of American Pharoah. There are plenty of nice fillies in the line-up that could be given a chance. It will be interesting to see how Maar fares for Ado McGuinness stepping up in class. She looked a smart sort when winning at Dundalk just over two weeks ago and her trainer has big plans for the Kingman filly.
