Irish 1000 Guineas runners
Agartha
Trainer: Joseph Patrick O’Brien Jockey: Declan McDonogh Draw: 10
Concert Hall
Trainer: Aidan O’Brien Jockey: W. M. Lordan Draw: 5
Freedom Of Speech
Trainer: J. S. Bolger Jockey: K. J. Manning Draw: 9
Hermana Estrella
Trainer: J. A. Stack Jockey: Jamie Spencer Draw: 6
History
Trainer: Aidan O’Brien Jockey: Seamie Heffernan Draw: 4
Lightly-raced winner. 3/1, career best when winning 11-runner Cornelscourt Stakes at Leopardstown (8f, good to soft) 14 days ago by ¾ length from Agartha, keeping on well. Will go on improving.
Homeless Songs
Trainer: D. K. Weld Jockey: C. D. Hayes Draw: 11
Promising type. Career best when winning 11-runner 1000 Guineas Trial at Leopardstown (7f, good, 6/1) 50 days ago by length from Agartha, missing break but showing a deeply-impressive turn of foot. 1m unlikely to be an issue and can make presence felt.
Lady Of Inishfree
Trainer: Noel Meade Jockey: Oisin James Orr Draw: 12
Lullaby
Trainer: Aidan O’Brien Jockey: Emmet McNamara Draw: 13
Mise En Scene
Trainer: James Ferguson Jockey: Cieren Fallon Draw: 1
Made a winning start in impressive fashion at Haydock in July and improved her form a chunk when following up in Group 3 at Goodwood. Excellent fourth in Fillies’ Mile at Newmarket despite signs of greenness and probably best to forgive her run in the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf.
Panama Red
Trainer: G. M. Lyons Jockey: C. T. Keane Draw: 2
Purplepay
Trainer: William Haggas Jockey: Tom Marquand Draw: 7
Progressive form in France last year for Cedric Rossi (sold €2,000,000 in December), winning 3 times before excellent 1¼ lengths third of 6 to Angel Bleu in Group 1 Criterium International (43/10) at Saint-Cloud (8f, soft), denied a clear run. Not taken lightly back against her own sex on return.
Star Girls Aalmal
Trainer: Henry de Bromhead Jockey: William James Lee Draw: 8
Tuesday
Trainer: Aidan O’Brien Jockey: Ryan Moore Draw: 3
Highly-regarded sister to 1000 Guineas winner Minding who was only just edged out by the more experienced Discoveries at the Curragh on sole 2-y-o start. Landed the odds with a good deal to spare in 17-runner maiden at Naas on return before excellent third in 1000 Guineas at Newmarket. Form pick.
Villanova Queen
Trainer: Mrs J. Harrington Jockey: Shane Foley Draw: 14#
Irish 1000 Guineas tips
Rory Delargy: Tuesday probably improves for the Newmarket run but she didn’t have any excuses on the day. She’s got a decent chance but not an outstanding one and her price is too short. I can see MISE EN SCENE running well but I don’t know whether stall 1 is a good place to be. She’s definitely the sort to train on well from two to three and James Ferguson has done well this season. I wouldn’t be approaching this with a huge amount of confidence, however.
Paddy Power: HOMELESS SONGS was very taking when winning the Group 3 Guineas Trial in April over 7f. She finished very strongly so the 1m should be ideal. The Weld stable has been quiet but I reckon she’s a bit special.
