Leopardstown Race 1 - Ballylinch Stud Irish Ebf Ingabelle Stakes (Fillies' Listed)
TIMELESS TALE (11) looked like a filly potentialy right out of the top drawer when quickening clear to record a dominant 8.5L success on debut at Naas. Willie McCreery's juvenile should have no bother stepping up to 1400m here and can remain unbeaten at the chief expense of MAIRE RUA (7). The latter also made a winning debut and arguably brings the best form over 1400m having kept on well to finish third in the Listed Irish Stallion Farms EBF Firville Stakes at Cork last time. It would be tough to rule out the Aidan O'Brien-trained IBELIEVEICANFLY (4) who finished a fair fourth in the G2 Alpha Centauri Debutante Stakes at the Curragh. MAEDA MATSU (6) cannot be dismissed.

Recent form sound. Most recently ran second last in a small field in the G2 Debutante Stakes at Curragh on August 22 over 1408m, 2 len behind Green Empress with 58kg at $7. The race before that scored a big 5 len win at Curragh on August 9 over 1408m defeating Speckles carrying 58kg at $2.60. Key runner who should be in the finish.

Lining up for just third start. When well in the market at debut, favourite; won by 2.5 len at this track on July 9 over 1408m defeating Bellesque with 58kg at $2.60. Second-up 3rd of 9 in the LR FIRVILLE STAKES at Cork on August 14 over 1408m, 2.5 len behind Alwaysanangel with 58kg at $2.30. Impressive of late. Major player.
