Annacroft
Heavy defeats at huge odds in maidens at Down Royal and Bellewstown; seems safe to rule out.

Duvessa
Promise in all three maiden runs at 1m2f-1m5f; the latter trip on soft ground probably stretched her on latest at Down Royal; form of previous second at Roscommon (1m4f, good) looks solid in the context of this race; rated 74 and big chance if taking to this surface (half-sister won on AW).

Forthill
All four turf runs have come on soft and heavy ground at 1m3f-1m4f; beaten favourite when second at Killarney in October and at the Curragh in November; well below best on seasonal return at Bellewstown in April and off since; claims on best form if handling the AW.

Rocket Robyn
Standout effort a head second at Gowran on third start last October (9.5f, heavy); has failed to build on that and soundly beaten in handicaps on last three starts; rated 65 and a fair bit to find on AW debut.

Tequila
Showed enough to suggest she could win a race when trained in Britain; below best when last seen at Pontefract in September; has joined yard that can ready one and has run well on the AW before, so monitor the market.

Wheres The Gold
Very modest form so far in turf maidens; beaten 29l on latest; can only be watched in first-time cheekpieces on AW debut.
