Outstanding breeding — her dam a multiple Group 1 winner — gives Alpha every reason to be exciting; a debut second at Leopardstown, beaten ¾ lengths while showing early inexperience, showed she can handle the trip and will improve. The stable has landed this race in three consecutive runnings and she is well placed to build on that experience.

A 230,000 euros Starman filly from a yard with a strong first-time-out record; her dam was very useful at extended distances and successful on her second start, which at least provides a stamina foundation. A significant purchase making her debut, and the market will be the best guide.

A full sister to Thesecretadversary — high-class at 7f — and by St Mark's Basilica out of a smart middle-distance mare, giving Endless Night outstanding credentials for this trip and beyond. The stable is capable of producing debutants ready to run and the market is worth watching.

A half-sister to City Of Troy and by Into Mischief out of a Group 1-winning dam; the pedigree is formidable, though the stronger claims in this race appear to lie with a stablemate. The market will be instructive; the stable has landed this race in each of the last three runnings.
