The 102-rated Discipline looks very much the one to beat in the Coral.ie European Breeders Fund Naas Oaks Trial on Wednesday.
Dermot Weld 's lightly-raced filly is well ahead on official ratings and is advantaged by racing off level weights against her nine rivals.
The daughter of Dansili steps up to a mile and a quarter for this Listed contest, having won a seven-furlong maiden at Gowran Park by a wide margin in April.
She was subsequently just pipped by a head by Bocca Baciata in a Listed race at Gowran.
Crucially, the sister of Famous Name handles rain-softened ground well which gives her good prospects of enhancing Weld's fine record in this race.
Aidan O'Brien 's How who was placed behind stablemate and subsequent Albany winner Brave Anna at the Curragh last month, is hard to oppose in the Coral.ie European Breeders Fund Fillies Maiden.
Forebear was a snug winner in Down Royal on Saturday and has to go on the shortlist for the New Ireland Assurance Supporting North Kildare Chamber Handicap. Aspar has been runner-up in his last two appearances and might go one better in the Coral.ie Maiden over five furlongs.
A significant gamble was landed on Palmones in Gowran Park at the weekend and she has to be of interest, under the mandatory 5lb penalty, in the apprentice handicap.
Course and distance winner The Eyes Have It wouldn't want further rain but has a leading chance in the Denis Byrne Memorial Handicap. Elusive Approach has been knocking on the door in recent months and could get her reward in the concluding Coral.ie European Breeders Fund Fillies Maiden.
