Form & Verdict
Front-running Lockinge Stakes winner in 2024 when with John Gosden but winless since later that year; however, has run plenty of fine races in defeat since joining this yard including twice at this track lately and once at the Curragh; can be keen so a hood is added to cheekpieces today; a bit to find.

T: David O’Meara

Front-running Lockinge winner in 2024 and Group 2 winner at Goodwood the same year; on a losing run since then and had experienced many reverses before being placed in two Irish 7f Group 3 races this term; made much of the running when second on soft ground here in June; similar scenario when third at the Curragh last month; likely to be in the mix.

Group 1 Lockinge winner in 2024 and Group 2 winner at Goodwood the same year; on a losing run since but his runner-up finish in a Leopardstown Group 3 showed definite signs of encouragement (7f, soft) when ridden by Keane for the first time; his wins came on good so if he repeats that latest run he is firmly in the mix.

One of two runners for yard; was a Group 3-winning juvenile and came back to form this term when winning a conditions race at Fairyhouse and running well in defeat in pattern company since; however, he has a fair bit to find against some of these.

One of four for yard; two wins last year included this race, which was run at Tipperary; went close in a Listed heat at the Curragh (1m, sft-hvy) in April but has beat just one rival home on her last two starts, most recently in a Listed over C&D on good; forecast rain a plus and no surprise were she to bounce back.

Useful form in juvenile maidens, culminating in a 6f Cork win on yielding-to-soft last September; found to be lame when an unplaced favourite for a 6f Listed race at Fairyhouse later that month; makes a belated return; may outrun his 89 rating but faces a huge task

93 rated St Mark's Basilica colt got off the mark in a 6f Cork maiden (yld-sft) 12 days ago; was no match for Chicago Call in a C&D maiden (good) on debut but could turn the tables on this easier ground; leading chance.

Smart 2yo was a close fourth to Pierre bonnard in a 1m2f Group 1; however, he has shown his best form over shorter this term, winning a Navan Listed race over 1m1f before a better effort when taking the Group 3 Desmond Stakes over C&D; looks the pick of his yard's trio so respected.

Won the Group 1 Phoenix Stakes over 6f last year and has trained on well this term, winning the Group 2 Minstrel Stakes at the Curragh over 7f; however, he was poor in a York Group 1 since and has to rebound; this trip probably stretches him too.

T: Robson De Aguiar

Debut winner at two on soft and later beat this year's 1,000 Guineas heroine True Love in the Group 1 Phoenix Stakes (6f, good); no more than minor roles in three 1m Group 1s this season before justifying favouritism when his sights were lowered in a Curragh Group 2 last month (7f, good to firm); he didn't exactly blow his rivals away that day and he's probably playing for the places, for all that a fast-run race at 7f might be his ideal scenario these days.

Verdict

The highest rated runner in the field QUDDWAH hasn't been seen since second to Ombudsman in the Dubai Turf in March but he goes well fresh and can repeat his yard's 2022 win in this race. Isaac Newton and Audience can give him most to do. [Tyrone Molloy]
