Form & Verdict
Dual winner for Ralph Beckett; probably needed the tune up when fifth on stable debut/seasonal reappearance but she has a fair bit on her plate here, and on the face of it, a career best effort will be needed to bag such a lucrative pot.

Bought for 330,000gns after winning two of six races for Ralph Beckett (including on soft); comfortably won 1m4f Roscommon Listed last summer and on seasonal return chased home a subsequent Group 3 winner in 2m Down Royal Listed in May; absence since a slight concern but presumably she has an autumn campaign in mind and demands plenty of respect.

Third career win came on final start last season in 1m Listowel Listed in testing conditions under a positive ride (just a day after being well beaten in handicap); balance of form is over shorter than this so others preferred on seasonal return.

Four-time winner but last win came two years ago; however, went close at Ballinrobe last time when stepped back up in trip to 1m5f and many of his better efforts have come on softer ground so this should be up his alley; interesting.

Form & Verdict
Far from a prolific winner (1-16) but an admirable sort all the same, latest never really calling it a day when going down with a battling third in the Listed Martin Molony stakes at Limerick; entitled to be right in the firing line again, and whilst no surprise if he comes up a fraction short, a big looking player to at the very least to bag a spot on the podium.

Made it four wins from his eight starts over hurdles (various ground) when returning to form to score at Haydock (1m7f, good) two months ago, when ridden more patiently; 5lb higher in a better race today and needs a career-best but he's unexposed under hold-up tactics and is not written off.

Improved 25lbs during 2023; stepped up on seasonal reappearance when third at Ayr in May in a fillies and mares Listed affair, and looks safe to say she is coming here with a sporting chance on the back of it, although any further ease in the ground would not be ideal.

Is in the form of his career this year for a new yard; won a Roscommon Listed race on seasonal debut and was an unlucky runner-up in the Irish Cesarewitch last time; his new rating of 112 looks debatable but a repeat of his best will make him difficult to beat.

Form & Verdict
A former Group 3 Leger Trial winner, he ran a fine race also at Group 3 level on his recent return from a huge absence when fourth behind White Birch; has obviously retained bags of ability but the second run back from a lengthy absence is always a worry, albeit on paper, it would appear he can afford to be a fraction below his best here.
