Ran green and not everything went right, but overcame that to win a soft ground Galway maiden last summer; holds entries in both 1,000 Guineas; big year for the stable has started well and this one much respected.

Smart filly last year; was just beaten by the Oaks winner Ezeliya in a Navan Group 3 before running creditably in the Irish 1000 Guineas and Oaks; a close third in the Group 2 Blandford Stakes on final start; well below that level at Roscommon on return but is the best horse in this race if returning to form; visor added.

Smart filly finished third in last year's Irish Oaks and later in season recorded similar RPR when close third in Group 2 Blandford at the Curragh; not the strongest finisher but the one to beat on seasonal return.

Progressive last season, winning a Galway nursery and ending up with a close third in the Group 1 Criterium International; Derby entry sets the standard against some likely progressive types.

J: Jack Cleary

T: A P O’Brien

Second of three runners for yard; 3yo colt is closely matched with stablemate Chemistry; won a Listed at Leopardstown in June (1m4f, good); not a bad effort in a Group 3 at Newmarket on latest (1m5f, good to soft); didn't look like he was crying out for this sort of trip though and not bred for it either; well-drawn but others preferred.

Has raced ten times and is more exposed than his rivals, but it was his first crack at 1m4f when keeping on well for a narrow Listed win at Leopardstown last month (good) and 1m2f looked inadequate at Royal Ascot most recently; versatile ground-wise; not discounted now up in trip.

Fourth in Group 3 Classic Trial at Sandown (1m2f, good to soft) before Listed win at Leopardstown (1m4f, good); that was his ninth race and others are less exposed and have stronger form, but he's the sole runner for Aidan O'Brien who has won two of the last six runnings, so is worth a second look.

Promise on his debut here in September before following up on similar ground to today over C&D the following month; plenty of potential and today's effort will give us a much better idea of his capabilities.

All three wins have come at 1m; back after a spell in the Emirates; not far off best when touched off by Elnajmm in the 7f Group 2 Al Fahidi Fort in January; beaten 3l in fourth behind the same horse in a Group 3 last time; blinkered first time now; not appealing at this trip.

Career-best when winning C&D Listed Amethyst Stakes in May (good), coming from well off pace; similar tactics employed in Group Desmond Stakes over C&D last month but left with too much to do when strong-finishing 1l third to front-running Johan; likely stronger pace here should suit but this looks a deeper race.

2024 form featured a 1m Naas handicap win and third in the 7f Group 3 Jersey Stakes; found 6f inadequate at Cork on seasonal debut; much more at home when winning a Listed race over C&D in May; has a bit to find with Mutasarref and Lord Massusus on running in a 7f Group 2 event at the Curragh last month.
