Foaled March 9. €280,000 yearling, Lope de Vega filly. Half-sister to winner up to 9f De Sica. Dam winner up to 1m (2-y-o 6f winner). Stable in form, including with newcomers, and she's appealing first time up.

Petticoat Bay (Usa)

Age: 2
Weight: 9st 2lbs

Bred to be smart and shaped well without being knocked about when third of 7 in Curragh maiden on debut 3 weeks ago. Will improve so has to be taken very seriously.

8 (8)

Unreal Friend (Ire)

Age: 2
Weight: 9st 2lbs
Or: -

Has offered something to work on in a couple of similar events in the last month but should make more impact in handicaps.

Anymore (Ire)

Age: 2
Weight: 9st 2lbs

Eighth of 13 in maiden at Leopardstown (7f, good, 22/1) on debut 12 days ago. Will know more this time and sure to do better for leading connections.

3 (4)

Handsoffshesmine (Ire)

Age: 2
Weight: 9st 2lbs
Or: -

Well held in maidens (behind stablemate Itstheonlyoneigot at Gowran last week) and looks one for handicaps.

Date	Course	Distance	Going	Pos	Type
19/10/26	Gowran Park	1m 75y	Soft	8/15	Flat
28/09/26	Down Royal	7f 26y	Gd/Sft	6/8	Flat

2 (7)

Duquesne Bay (Ire)

Age: 2
Weight: 9st 2lbs
Or: -

Showed a bit in mid-field in 1m Naas maiden on debut 19 days ago, though is likely to be one for further down the line.

Date	Course	Distance	Going	Pos	Type
10/10/26	Naas	1m	Soft	8/18	Flat

5 (9)

Looking For Love (Ire)

Age: 2
Weight: 9st 2lbs
Or: -

Foaled March 24. New Bay filly. Dam, 1¼m-1½m winner (both her starts), half-sister to high-class 1m-11.5f winner Echo of Light and smart 9f-1½m winner (stayed 2m) Akarem. Appealing sort on paper and yard had just second juvenile winner on debut this year at Dundalk.

9 (3)

Wunderschon (Ger)

Age: 2
Weight: 9st 2lbs
Or: 93

Has made a good start for all she's yet to win, keeping on for fourth in good 1m Punchestown maiden before chasing home top prospect Wall Street in Group 3 at Leopardstown 12 days ago. Looks the one to beat.

Date	Course	Distance	Going	Pos	Type
17/10/26	Leopardstown	1m 1f	Good	4/6	Flat
15/09/26	Punchestown	1m 30y	Good	4/14	Flat
31/08/26	Roscommon	7f 94y	Gd/Sft	3/9	Flat
28/07/26	Galway	7f	Gd/Sft	7/12	Flat

Timeform Verdict

This is a lot easier than the Group 3 WUNDERSCHON contested at Leopardstown 12 days ago and she can make her experience tell back in a maiden. Petticoat Bay looks a sure-fire improver, with San Juan de Lope an appealing debutante.

Betting Forecast

5/1 San Juan De Lope (Ire), 5/1 Petticoat Bay (Usa), 14/1 Lan De Ghaire (Ire), 20/1 Unreal Friend (Ire), 33/1 Anymore (Ire), 20/1 Handsoffshesmine (Ire), 28/1 Duquesne Bay (Ire), 11/1 Looking For Love (Ire), 13/8 Wunderschon (Ger)
