Verdict

Already at the head of the market for next year's 1000 Guineas, exciting prospect ALPHA is fancied to follow up her impressive success at the Curragh. Green Empress can improve again tackling a longer trip and may prove comfortably best of rest.

1	Sea The Stars filly, out of Irish 1000 Guineas winner Alpha Centauri. Promising second in a hot race at this course on debut before impressively going one better at the Curragh (7f) last time. Looks a potentially top-table juvenile filly and can follow up on first start in pattern company. 1st Pick 1 Alpha (Ire) Jockey: Ryan Moore Trainer: Aidan O'brien, Ireland J: Ryan Moore T: Aidan O'brien, Ireland	100	-	-	-	90%

6	Confirmed her debut promise when a closing ¾-length second in Group 2 Airlie Stud at the Curragh (6f) last time, finishing much closer to subsequent Albany runner-up Sun Goddess than previously. Looks sure to progress again on first start over 7f and stands out as the main danger to Alpha. 2nd Pick 6 Green Empress (Ire) Jockey: D. B. Mcmonagle Trainer: Joseph Patrick O'brien, Ireland J: D.

3	400,000 gns Lope De Vega filly. Looked potentially useful when beating a less-than-ideally placed Alpha by ¾ length to make a successful debut over C&D (soft). Probably up against it to confirm that form, though, with Dylan Brown McMonagle preferring Green Empress. 3rd Pick 3 Blonde Over Blue Jockey: D. B.
