MURKALA not for the first time shaped like a return to this longer trip was well worth exploring when third in a big-field Curragh maiden 31 days ago and, equipped with first-time cheekpieces, she shades the vote to step up on that and come out on top. Newcomer True Friend makes loads of appeal on paper and she needs considering. Joyful Princess, De Novo and Harana are others making the shortlist.

    Lightly-raced filly. Bit below form third of 20 in maiden at the Curragh (7f, soft, 10/3) 31 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time and this step back up in trip ought to suit. Possibilities.

    Lope De Vega filly who cost plenty as a yearling (€130,000) and produced a promising first effort when fourth of 10 in maiden at Dundalk (7f, 9/2) on debut in November, keeping on without being knocked about. In good hands and she's likely to improve.

    Ghaiyyath filly. Half-sister to 3 winners, including useful 11.5f/1½m winner Hamsiyann and 7.3f winner Harannda. Dam, 2-y-o 7f (Silver Flash Stakes) winner who stayed 1¼m, half-sister to British/Irish Derby winner Harzand. Very appealing newcomer for stable enjoying a good spell.

    Churchill filly. Closely related to several winners, including very smart winner up to 10.3f Armory and smart 11.6f-1¾m winner Subsequent. Holds an Irish Oaks entry and she's very much a newcomer to note.

    Thrice-raced filly. 22/1, run best excused when pulled up in maiden at the Curragh (7f, soft) 18 days ago (bit went through mouth). Previous effort at that venue wasn't devoid of encouragement and she's another who could do better when tackling handicaps.

    Mastercraftsman filly. Offered little when twelfth of 14 in maiden at Dundalk (7f) 16 months ago. Makes a belated return to action starting out for new yard and she's probably best watched.

    Fair filly. 33/1 and blinkered for 1st time, below form following a 3-month break when fifth of 14 in maiden at Naas (8f, heavy) 24 days ago. Pick of her form as a 2-y-o gives her claims if she can step up on latest effort, however.
