LIWA PALACE (GB) (Oasis Dream {GB}) debuts for Al Shira'aa Farms and Rod Collet in this intriguing maiden, having cost 330,000 guineas at Tattersalls. The descendant of the 1994

BEAN FEASA (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}) bids to build on a highly promising debut second to the subsequent G2 Coventry S. third Psychedelic Funk (GB) (Choisir {Aus}) over six furlongs at Naas in April for Godolphin and Jim Bolger in this maiden which pattern-race performers tend to spring from every year. The half-sister to Teofilo (Ire) should be too savvy for the Ballydoyle newcomers Rhododendron (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}), a daughter of the MG1SW Halfway To Heaven (GB) (Pivotal {GB}) and Bound (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}), a full-sister to the G1SP Wedding Vow (Ire), and on racecourse evidence too good for the other from Rosegreen Butterflies (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}), a half-sister to Giant's Causeway.
