Formscan By Donal Murphy - This looks a good opportunity for SWEETEST. She beat five of these over her first three starts and should be able to confirm the form now. A E420,000 yearling purchase, the Aidan O'Brien trained bay finished third to Prime Art at Naas on her most recent outing, with that one since giving the form a boost by claiming a Group 3 at Ayr on Saturday. Heavenly Being was another expensive yearling purchase and is a half-sister to 2021 Matron Stakes winner No Speak Alexander. The Jessica Harrington-trained bay has two solid efforts to her name and looks well-capable of making her presence felt. Verified is surprisingly rated higher than the selection and it'll be interesting to see how he fares. Sixth of seven in the Blenheim Stakes at Fairyhouse last week, he should give a good account of himself. A fine third on her most recent start at the Curragh, Staysound Susie is sure to have plenty of supporters, while Bonbon is another that can't be discounted.
For two years old only, maidens at starting that are EBF eligible
Weights - 9st 7lbs Fillies allowed 5lbs
