Formscan By Michael Graham - This ground is likely to be very testing. TIMIYRA has performed on rain-softened ground in both of her starts and gets the vote. She began with a promising third place on debut at Cork before finishing second, albeit beaten five lengths, in Thurles. That may yet turn out to be a decent effort as the odds-on favourite that beat her that day was then backed off the boards in a Group 3 at Leopardstown on Saturday, and ran prominently before finishing sixth. American Pharoah filly The Algarve is a full sister to Van Gogh who won a Group One on heavy ground in France last year. He was also third on deep ground in the Irish 2,000 Guineas at the Curragh in May. Therefore, The Algarve could step up on her two previous efforts. Joseph O'Brien's No Nay Never filly Native Queen has to be monitored in the market ahead of her debut.
