b m Doyen (IRE) - Cribella (USA) (Robellino)
3rd early, 2nd at 4th, hampered next, cajoled along to lead after 2 out, drew clear before last (trainer said, regarding apparent improvement in form, that the mare is temperamental and benefited from wearing the first-time visor.)

b m Golan (IRE) - Castle Arms Cailin (IRE) (Be My Native)
Midfield, shaken up and stayed on from after 3 out, 6 lengths 3rd at last, went 2nd final 100yds, no chance with winner but encouraging debut (jockey said mare was badly hampered at third last) (op 25/1)

ch m Blueprint (IRE) - Maid Of Music (IRE) (Orchestra)
Well behind and mistake 2nd, never threatened leaders after, impeded 3 out, staying on well after last, snatched 4th, too much to do (jockey said, regarding running and riding, that his orders were to take his time, get the mare settled and do his best, adding that it is not the most fluent of jumpers and was forced wide when impeded by fallers three out, he felt that it would probably want a longer trip; trainer added that the mare was quite fragile and had run too free in earlier races, the 2m trip was probably inadequate.) (op 10/1)
