Verdict
Tereschenko, a half-sister to the brilliant juvenile Fasilyev, is obviously a newcomer to keep an eye on but there are some potentially smart fillies in this who have experience. Big Break started favourite on her debut at Galway and was an unlucky loser when third behind Magical Dream. The winner and runner-up have been beaten in Group company subsequently but there's plenty more to come from Dermot Weld's filly. Gathering Power hasn't done much wrong and will be winning soon if her latest effort behind Karamaya at the Curragh is a guide, especially as the better ground and longer trip will suit, while Rehn's Nest caught the eye in no uncertain terms on her debut behind Starbright at the Curragh. SHELINA made a highly encouraging debut behind the well-regarded Snow Queen at the Curragh a fortnight ago and the daughter of Dalakhani, who is closely related to numerous winners, can take what should prove an informative event.
