Verdict

ALMEIYDA has proved expensive to follow but the addition of a first-time visor could be the catalyst for a breakthrough success. Stooked makes plenty of appeal on her early-season form, though stall 20 isn't the ideal draw as she attempts to bounce back. Divine Legend, Nautic Star and River Trieux also need considering in an open-looking maiden.

3	Advanced her form when runner-up in maidens at Roscommon and Galway (behind a useful one). Well worth a go in first-time visor having failed to meet expectations when 3 lengths third (behind River Trieux) in big-field Cork maiden (1m, soft) latest. Leading claims if she puts it all together. 1st Pick 3 Almeiyda (Ire) Jockey: D. W. O'connor Trainer: D. K. Weld, Ireland J: D. W. O'connor T: D. K. Weld, Ireland	100	-	-	-	10%

16	Bred to be useful. Narrowly failed to justify support behind a next-time-out winner on debut at the Curragh (7f). Beaten a length down in trip at Cork 6 days on (third and fourth winners since) and surely wasn't 100% at Roscommon last time. Has earned another chance but draw hasn't been kind. 2nd Pick 16 Stooked (Ire) Jockey: C. T. Keane Trainer: G. M. Lyons, Ireland J: C. T. Keane T: G. M. Lyons, Ireland	99	-	-	-	15%	Scratched

4	Steadily improving Blue Point filly. Went close in Roscommon maiden that's working out well on return last month. Didn't get the rub of the green when length second at Navan (1m) subsequently. Solid claims to go one better here. 3rd Pick 4 Divine Legend (Ire) Jockey: Ben Martin Coen Trainer: John Patrick Murtagh, Ireland J: Ben Martin Coen T: John Patrick Murtagh, Ireland	98	-	-	-	34%
