Ryan Moore starts Guineas week with a trio of rides on the eight-race Monday card, and our expert has assessed his mounts below. Check these out, along with an exclusive sign-up offer for new customers at 888sport of Bet £10 and Claim £40 In Bet Bonuses.
DENEUVE – (4:45pm, Irish Stallion Farms EBF Fillies Maiden)
Ryan Moore’s first ride on Naas’s Monday card comes in their opening 6f fillies maiden, where he partners up with the newcomer DENEUVE.
This daughter of No Nay Never is the first foal out of the Group 3 winner, and Group 1 placed, juvenile Actress, herself out of a US Grade 2 winner.
Deneuve is trainer Aidan O’Brien’s sole representative in a race that he has landed twice in the previous three renewals, and the yard has made a good start with their 2yos, so if market vibes are positive expect this filly to be one of the more likely protagonists.

EMILY DICKINSON – (6:45pm, Race & Stay Fillies Maiden)
Ryan Moore partners up with EMILY DICKINSON in Naas’s 1m2f fillies maiden.
This filly is impeccably bred being the third foal out of Irish Oaks winner Chicquita, with her half-sisters both pattern class performers.
Although well down the field in a Leopardstown maiden on debut back in October, Emily Dickinson put up an improved showing when fifth back at Leopardstown just under three weeks ago.
Emily Dickinson was hampered when making her challenge that day, yet stayed on purposefully under pressure in the style of a filly who was still learning on the job. She should be far more clued up here, and this rates, on paper at least, a slightly weaker affair, so expect Emily Dickinson to be tough to beat.

IVY LEAGUE – (7:15pm, Naas Racecourse Business Club Blackwater Handicap)
Ryan Moore will be seen carrying the Westerberg silks on Saturday aboard Luxembourg in Newmarket’s 2000 Guineas, and that partnership is in action at Naas on Monday with IVY LEAGUE.
This son of Galileo is a brother to the classy Ontario and he built on a Curragh debut sixth when justifying favouritism in a Dundalk maiden earlier this month.
He now makes his handicap debut, and a mark of 84 is very unlikely to prove the ceiling of this colt’s ability, but with a raft of equally unexposed runners in this field the market should provide a good guide on what to expect here.
