7th	1	5	Divine Legend (F) Shaped as if in need of the experience first time up when fifth of 13 in maiden at Leopardstown in October, slowly away before racing freely. Has plenty to find but is entitled to do better this year.	5-7	Ben Coen J P Murtagh	3	58.5kg	21 20/1
3rd	2	7	Expert Dancer (F) Shaped promisingly on debut in October and improved on that form only 9 days later when third of 11 in 6f maiden at the Curragh, shaping as if a step up in trip will suit. Merits consideration on ret…	3-33712	Andrew Slattery A Slattery	3	58.5kg	5 4/1
8th	3	10	Flagstone Lady (F) €1,000 foal, U S Navy Flag filly. Half-sister to 3 winners, including useful 1¼m-1½m winner Wonder Kid and winner up to 1¼m Bavardages. Yard capable of readying a newcomer so she's worth a market che…	8060	Jamie Powell M O'Callaghan	3	58.5kg	67 66/1

9th	5	1	Girl Bear (F) Showed plenty on Rules debut when third in 7-runner maiden at Galway in September. After 6 months off, probably needed the run when seventh of 11 at the Curragh 20 days ago, though Signora finished w…	3-79378	Luke McAteer Jack Foley	3	58.5kg	67 66/1
10th	6	2	Magna Kotcha (F) Whose yard has had success with this family, showed ability before fading late on when sixth of 10 in 1m maiden at Naas on debut 13 days ago. Open to improvement on the back of her first outing.	6000	Colin Keane N Meade	3	58.5kg	41 40/1
6th	7	8	Mardi Gras Queen (F) Charlatan filly. Half-sister to useful winner up to 11f Aspen Grove and 2-y-o 5f winner Edwardian. Dam, US 2-y-o 1m winner (also second in Grade 3 1m event at 2 yrs), half-sister to smart 2-y-o 5f-7f…	6	Seamie Heffernan J A Stack	3	58.5kg	17 16/1
2nd	8	9	Signora (F) FAV Shaped very well when third in Naas Group 3 on debut, before having excuses when sent off favourite for the Albany at Royal Ascot next time. After 9 months off, collared late on in maiden at the Curr…	39-2212	R L Moore A P O'Brien	3	58.5kg	1.50 1/2
5th	9	6	Star Of Beauty (F) V Showed benefit of her initial experience when a close third in 6f maiden at Naas last summer. Possibly needed the run after 6 months off when sixth of 14 upped to 1m at Dundalk in March, so she enter…	502236	Billy Lee K J Condon	3	58.5kg	19 18/1
1st	10	11	Wild Bessie (F) Had finished down the field in a barrier trial and didn't make much impact on Rules debut when eighth of 13 in maiden at Dundalk in September. Much more required on return from 6 months off.	8-10	Ronan Whelan H De Bromhead	3	58.5kg	29 28/1
11th	11	4	Zermatt Star (F) Showed encouragement in a Punchestown maiden (1m) on debut in September, before racing too freely when fifth of 11 at Gowran the following month. Stamina on dam's side of pedigree, but shaped last ye…	65-004	Shane Foley Mrs J Harrington	3	58.5kg	15 14/1
