Form & Verdict
Ridden prominently when just holding on in 7f Gowran fillies maiden in June and better form 12 days later when third behind a better-fancied stablemate in Group 2 Airlie Stud Stakes at the Curragh, despite probably not suited by drop back in trip; return to longer trip should suit and definite player.

T: A P O’Brien

Close second against her own sex in two 1m Group 1s this summer, beaten a head by Fallen Angel on the second occasion; there have been possible excuses on her last two starts, namely cheekpieces then very soft ground, but she's still hard to fancy after those below-par runs; a tongue-tie goes on.

Ended last season with second to Desert Flower in the Fillies' Mile; well beaten in the Irish 1,000 Guineas on reappearance; showed that to be all wrong when third to Cercene in the Coronation and runner-up in the Falmouth; best effort yet when making Fallen Angel pull out all the stops in the Prix Rothschild.

Ballydoyle filly who needed her reappearance run in the Irish 1,000 Guineas; very consistent otherwise and duly bounced back with a good third in the Coronation Stakes at Royal Ascot (good to firm); the pick of the 3yos on ratings and another step forward is possible; solid.

Form & Verdict
Shock 20-1 debut Curragh maiden win hasn't worked out that well and seemingly ridden to see the 7f trip out in Group 3 Tyros Stakes at Leopardstown last month, staying on into fourth (beaten over 6l); good chance of him staying this slightly longer trip but probably needs to improve to play a major role.

Surprise debut winner of 6f maiden here last summer but bit exposed in stakes company afterwards, each time staying on as if a step up in trip will suit (not clear run at Dundalk final start); gelded over the winter and step up in trip should suit but others may have greater scope for improvement.

Placed twice, including conditions event here, before readily landing Roscommon maiden over this trip (good); set to follow up over 1m at Killarney, having gone clear before crashing through rails inside final 110yds; progressive colt, stays well and barring mishaps looks a major player.

Won twice in Ireland for Joseph O'Brien; some creditable efforts for current yard but his style can depend on luck and he's finished a well-held eighth at Newbury (1m) in last two starts; mark continues to fall but he needs to raise his game back up in trip; blinkers return and cheekpieces are removed.

Held up of late; competitive if judged on his peak Irish form for Joseph O'Brien, which was a 9.5f win last June in first-time blinkers; has played minor roles for new yard since, with some promise on occasions at Meydan (1m1f-1m4f) this year but others have more pressing claims.

Arizona filly has shown definite ability at long odds on both starts, chasing home two smart fillies in hot Curragh maiden in late June and in Group3 Silver Flash Stakes at Leopardstown last month still green and not quite seeing today's trip out when fourth (beaten 6.5l); has races in her when sights are lowered but another stiff task here.
