FormscanBy Michael Graham - The 83-rated RED IVY has shown more than enough to be able to land a maiden. Paul Deegan's filly has run four times with a best finish of third, however, that doesn't tell the whole story. The races she has contested have been won by Jeanne Girl, Beach Belle, Sors and Captain My Captain who are all more than useful juveniles. She hasn't been beaten far in any of her races and was doing her best work late on in the Birdcatcher on Sunday in which she finished fifth. She was placed on soft to heavy ground so should relish the testing conditions in Navan. Aidan O'Brien introduces Pink Lavender who holds an entry in the Irish 1,000 Guineas. She rates an obvious danger. Pat Smullen is booked for Eddie Lynam's newcomer Azerelle and she is worth a market check. Ken Condon's Shanghai Beauty holds a leading chance based on her runner-up finish to Accepted in a Listed contest at Tipperary. That came back in July. On her debut she ran fifth in the race that Red Ivy was third to Jeanne Girl in at the Curragh. She should also deal well with the soft ground on offer here.
