Jessica Harrington has saddled the winner of this maiden twice in recent years and MO GHILLE MAR is an appealing newcomer for the yard. She holds an entry in the Moyglare Stakes and the hint should be taken if the market speaks in her favour. Fellow newcomer Stromberg, who also represents a yard with a good recent record in this race and holds a Group-race entry, is also of strong interest. Sli Na Ghealai and Courageous Strike look the pick of those with experience.
