Full sister to Teofilo, won five times at 7f including two Group 1 races.
Full sister to Teofilo, won five times at 7f including two Group 1 races.
Teo's Sister, a full sister to 2006 champion two-year-old Teofilo, makes plenty of appeal on her first outing in public and a number of Group entries suggest that she's been showing plenty at home, but experience can often win the day in these type of races and SHIRAMIYNA sets a decent standard on her debut third at Limerick last month. Showing signs of greenness in that contest, the instant reaction was that she would learn a great deal and John Oxx appears to have a solid chance of repeating his victory in this race 12 months ago with the Aga Khan's filly. Kate Greenaway should be winning one of these sooner rather than later, but this looks too hot.
Karjera, Shiramiyna and Kate Greenaway set a reasonable standard of those to have raced, the first 2 of that trio still open to improvement as well, but Teo's Sister looks to have a lot going for her on debut and is taken to come out on top.
Unplaced in both starts. Well beaten at 14-1 behind Apache when 9th of 10 on his latest outing here over 1m 4f (good to firm) in May.

FOREVER GLORY indicated that she has improved from two to three years when runner-up on her seasonal reappearance over 1m2f at the Curragh late last month and, with further improvement on the cards, she will be fancied to open her account at the third time of asking. Although having a string of seconds next to her name, Narjawa doesn't look at all ungenuine and she simply found one too good in the shape of One Spirit (who has been placed in a Listed event since) over 1m here three weeks ago. Stepping up in trip, she seems sure to be in the shake-up again while any market support for David Wachman's newcomer, The Lodge Road, could well be worth noting.
It would be a surprise if the winner of this maiden didn't come from either Forever Glory or Narjawa, this pair with form well in advance of the rest of the field. Slight preference is for the latter at this trip, with Cherokee Brave a token selection to chase them home.

Spin Of A Coin has reached the frame on his last five visits to the racecourse (winning one) and seems sure to be in the shake-up once again but the top-weight, DAWARIYA, looks the one to beat. This three-year-old daughter of Selkirk confirmed promise shown on her racecourse debut at Naas in May when scoring readily at Ballinrobe last time and, open to a great deal of further improvement, she can exploit a mark of 83 on her handicap debut tonight. Despite just the six participants, there is plenty in the way of opposition as both Crystal Belle and Crystal Morning are capable of sparkling performances as well.
Dawariya must be high up on the shortlist for this 3-y-o handicap, but her price is certain to reflect that, and at the likely odds, Trans City makes more appeal, as he's well treated on his best form and is worth a try at this trip. Crystal Morning is another on a workable mark who should be on the premises.
He has won three times from 6f to 1m on the all-weather. Third of 17 behind Moran Gra beaten 3/4l at 20-1 on his latest outing at Curragh over 1m (good) last month.

Fran Berry and Pat Smullen have won the last four runnings of this contest between them and both appear to have strong chances with Casela Park and Lily's Star respectively tonight, but ADAM'S RETURN, the mount of Padraig Beggy, gets the tentative vote to come out on top. This selection ran right up to somewhere near his best when runner-up at Naas 15 days ago (fourth has won since) and that first public appearance since September will have blown any cobwebs away. Akasaka appears to have solid claims after getting within a length of winning on his handicap debut over 7f here last week, while An Saighdiur and Dusty Trail are a couple of lively outsiders.
Akasaka was unlucky to bump into a rejuvenated Copper Dock last time and can gain compensation off the same mark returned to 1m. Adam's Return is the obvious alternative after a good reappearance, while Casela Park can also make his presence felt.
He has won three times from 1m 1f to 1m 2f on good ground and on the all-weather. Beaten 2l by Ottoman Empire when second of 11 at 14-1 on his latest outing at Kempton over 1m 3f in September last year. Having his first run for a new stable today.

SADDLER'S ROCK is very much heading in the right direction and could be worth siding with here. The application of a tongue-tie appeared to help when he stayed on strongly to open his account over an extended 1m4f at Tipperary last time (worn again tonight) and, likely to improve further for this step up in trip, he gets the vote to follow up on his handicap debut. The Ballydoyle representative, Nantucket Bay, looks an obvious danger on the back of his 1m5f victory at Navan in May, while False Economy is worthy of consideration despite a 5lb rise in the handicap for his C&D success almost six weeks ago.
The 2 lightly-raced 3-y-o's are the obvious candidates in this handicap, and Saddler's Rock is narrowly preferred to Nantucket Bay, as whilst they are closely matched on form, the selection looks sure to derive significant benefit from this longer trip. Luc Jordan makes easily the most appeal of the older horses on his first start for Willie Mullins.

This could turn into a match between last time out winners Lady Bennett and GREEN TO GOLD. The former appeared to benefit from the step up to 1m2f when scoring comfortably on her handicap debut at Navan just over three weeks ago and this longer trip could well eke out further improvement, but Christy Roche's charge just edges the vote. The manner of his victory at Bellewstown on Sunday was most impressive and a 5lb penalty shouldn't be enough to stop him if in the same mood. Carlowsantana ran a lot better than his odds of 66-1 suggested possible at Ballinrobe latest and he cannot be taken lightly here.
Lady Bennett won at Navan in the manner of one who would warrant respect wherever she turned up next. However, she may have to play second fiddle to Green To Gold here, who is due to race off a 10 lb higher mark in the future after his Bellewstown romp. Formal Bid can fill third spot.

John Oxx trained the winner of this race last year and the Currabeg handler appears to have a cracking chance 12 months on with RED CALIMA. The Shirocco colt stepped up on a promising debut third over C&D when runner-up at Tipperary two weeks ago and further improvement should see him make it third time lucky. Enchanted Forest is becoming increasingly frustrating to follow and he has 2 1/2-lengths to find with the selection on that Tipperary form so Benefit Of Porter, who won a chase at Listowel on her latest outing, rates the biggest threat having chased home the talented Apr Manor on his Flat race debut at Tramore in early June.
Red Calima got the better of Enchanted Forest last time and is still on the up, also yet to show the temperament that has blighted that rival's career to date, so he rates as banker material. Benefit of Porter is the clear pick of the remainder.
