Tammy Wynette (IRE)

Unconsidered in the market on debut and trapped wide from her wide draw but travelled like a good filly. Lack of a previous run appeared to tell inside the final furlong & looks sure to benefit from this experience.

My Snowdrop (IRE)

Easy to back when making a promising debut at Gowran Park. Lost any advantage from her low draw when slowly away and last into the straight before switched out wide and came home well inside the final furlong. Should progress from this initial outing and win races.

Fridtjof Nansen (GB)

Never threatened on debut at the Curragh, and didn't enjoy the clearest of passages, but came home in really taking fashion inside the final furlong. Sure to benefit from this experience and stays at least a mile.

Minnie Haha (FR)

Never involved after a tardy start but caught the eye when finishing strongly behind fellow newcomer Would You Believe in a six-furlong Curragh maiden. From the family of French 2000 Guineas winner Clodovil, and should appreciate a step up in trip.
