Some promising types in this maiden. Paddy Twomey's horses are in sparkling form and Naoi has claims for him, though the drop back to 6f is a slight concern. Bonus Time ran a promising race on debut at Cork but SUERTE caught the eye making up ground late in behind her and Sheila Lavery's well-bred filly might be able to turn the tables on this stiffer track. The debutantes Charasson and Glory To Be are worth monitoring in the market. [Dave Stephens]

Too Darn Hot filly ran a promising race when second of 10 at Cork (6f, good) on debut earlier this month (Suerte 3.25l behind); should be improvement to come and she holds obvious claims.
Kodiac filly is a fifth foal; sister to winners Ano Syra (5f/6f inc AW: RPR 108) and Colour Image (1m; 94), half-sister to 1m winner Ano Manna (72); dam 6f 2yo winner (93), half-sister to 6f 2yo Group 2 winner Carrizo Creek, out of 2m winner; trainer knows the family well and worth a market check on debut.
Is 0-6 and rated 76; shaped like may have needed her return in a C&D maiden last month in first-time cheekpieces (retained); best effort a 0.5l second of 12 in a fillies' maiden on yielding at Naas (6f) last October; place chance on best form.
Huge odds and never landed a blow in maidens at Dundalk (7f) in October and at Naas (1m, good) earlier this month; drops in trip but looks safe to rule out.
Cotai Glory filly cost 27,000Gns as a yearling; first foal; dam placed 1m-8.5f (RPR 73), half-sister to winners Shanghai Glory (6f Listed) and Choose Me (7.4f Listed; dam of Group 1 winners Persuasive and Creative Force), out of 1m2f winner; makes some appeal on paper so check the market.
Sent off at 3-1 for debut at Cork (7f, good) in early-April and ran on well from the back for a 3l third of 11; the winner of that race is now rated 95 after placing in a Group 3; the drop back to 6f is not an obvious move but she has strong form claims.
Rated 74 after three runs; standout effort last season a 1.5l fourth of 12 behind Miracle Beauty at Naas (6f, yielding) in October; off since 7.25l defeat at Dundalk in November and hooded for return; place claims if reproducing the form of that Naas effort.
Went close on second start over 6f at Dundalk in January; behind Bonus Time when a staying on 6l fourth of 10 at Cork in May; may strip fitter for that and she's a full sister to 1m American Grade 1 winner River Boyne; this stiffer 6f should suit her better; interesting.
Nicely bred daughter of Wootton Bassett but she was 33-1 when slowly away and well-beaten on debut at Cork (6f, good) behind a couple of these rivals; could take a step forward from that but others make more appeal.
