Only Irish Oaks entry Almeiyda has any worthwhile form, and she looks beatable unless she has improved over the winter. After that, it really is a guessing game with half a dozen nicely-bred newcomers and no fancy entries to provide clues. A token selection is MATHOURA, a half-sister to two French winners out of a 9.5f-10.7f winner, but the likes of Shanala, Vauntingly and Paddy Twomey's Dark Lucinda, who is hooded for debut, are all perfectly plausible winners. The market will be a crucial guide. [Mark Nunan]
