Prose ran well in two strong maidens over this trip at Leopardstown before chasing home Afterglow over 1m4f at Fairyhouse. She's a bit exposed and though there could still be some improvement in her she was behind SHAMIYNA (NAP) when Dermot Weld's filly was beaten a head by Oaks runner-up Ennistymon at Leopardstown and it's difficult to see a form reversal. Tasalka also represents the Weld stable and she had some smart form last season and will have come on for last month's run over a mile on this track. The Godolphin-owned Tejano is the type to improve while Forbearance, a daughter of Galileo out of an Australian Group 1 winner, is a newcomer to keep an eye on.
