Verdict

Back on home territory after taking third place in a maiden at Newmarket, MADAM SECRETARY (nap) can put her experience to good use. Samnina ran well at a big price in a strong maiden at the Curragh and may pose a greater threat than Silver Kiss and Argentarius, who also showed promise first time out. This represents a stiff introduction for noteworthy runners Haven, The Good Wife and Suomenlinna. [Alan Sweetman]

Apprentice-ridden when 5l third of eight in a maiden at Listowel in May; form of that race has been boosted by runner-up Big Negotiator; picked up valuable experience when third in a 7f maiden at Newmarket 19 days ago; winner Scommessa Secura can be rated a useful yardstick.

Only 1/2l behind subsequent winner Livenka when fourth on debut at the Curragh, a race won stylishly by Alpha who scrambled home at short odds in a Group 3 race at Leopardstown last week; promising.

Saxon Warrior filly; made a satisfactory debut in taking third behind the well-fancied Livenka on debut at Fairyhouse; just lost second to Star Of State who has since won a Leopardstown maiden with the greatest of ease; winner's form also linked to Samnina.

Finished first in a barrier trial; excellent effort in a maiden at Cork (6f, good) when beaten 1.2l into second by subsequent Group 3 winner Ballinea Star; overall form of the race is possibly suspect.
