Form & Verdict
Finished third behind subsequent Royal Ascot winners Gstaad and True Love over a near-6f trip at Navan on debut; ran green then and still looked a bit raw when losing out by a neck to a Ger Lyons-trained newcomer over 6f at Cork; readily landed the odds over C&D four weeks ago.

Last season's Cheveley Park runner up didn't have to be at her best to win the Group 3 Lacken Stakes here back in May; only beaten 2l when a fine fourth in the Commonwealth Cup at Royal Ascot; didn't fire dropped to 5f in a Curragh Group 2 on latest; likely to rebound stepped back up in trip and gets 3yo weight allowance.

3yo filly is 3-9 with all three of her wins coming over 5f/6f at Naas; won a Group 3 over the latter trip on her seasonal return (good) and outran her odds of 28-1 when a fine 2l fourth in the Commonwealth Cup (6f, gd-fm); gets all the allowances here and the drop back to 5f should pose no problems; big chance.

Accounted for 20 rivals when an easy winner of a 6f maiden at the Curragh on debut, in full control at the distance of this race; weakened in the final furlong of the Albany Stakes; minimum trip may suit her better.

Remains a maiden after nine starts but has plenty of ability and flew home for second in the Group 3 Priory Belle at Leopardstown on her seasonal return (Pivotal Attack behind); had issues pre-race when well held in the Irish 1000 Guineas when last seen in May and capable of much better; rain not a worry and could go well.

Talented maiden (stripped of a Listowel win after a positive test); best form when second to smart colt Alparslan in a sales race at this venue, and when runner-up in a 7f Group event at Chantilly; deserves a shot at this based on her second to True Love at Leopardstown six weeks ago.

Form & Verdict
Very disappointing favourite last of eight on Thirsk debut in May; quick ground may have been the issue then, since she came good when making almost all on soft at Carlisle five weeks ago; owner/trainer'/rider combination won this with Miss Lamai last year but she had a much stronger profile having finished fourth in the Queen Mary.

Best efforts have been on soft/heavy ground, including when going close in a Group 3 at Ayr (6f) last September and winning a Listed contest at Doncaster (6f) when last seen 299 days ago; has since had wind surgery and steps up to 7f for her reappearance; pedigree suggests she'll stay but she may need this return to action.

Made all from the rail draw at Lingfield (6f, good to firm) last month, but she's not easy to predict and was out the back at Brighton last time; this drop back in trip is no problem, but she's drawn out wide and needs to step up again after that last run; stablemate of Hint Of Humour.

A 320,000gns Breeze-up buy; made debut over C&D, showed up well before losing out to Aidan O'Brien's Charles Darwin who had two runs under his belt and subsequently won the Norfolk Stakes; underlined the quality of the Irish juvenile crop when fourth to True Love (Railway Stakes winner last Saturday) in the Queen Mary; excellent chance despite being the only maiden in the field.

Very useful two-year-old last year, second to Charles Darwin on debut before finishing fourth in Queen Mary; landed a Cork maiden in cosy fashion on return before finishing 14th of 15 in Listed company but still only beat 6l; travelled well before flattening out when seventh in competitive Ayr sprint 14 days ago on soft; open to improvement and can figure on these terms.
