Form & Verdict
Dual-purpose; 2-14 on turf on the Flat; 0-4 in stakes company but has run well in defeat; won the Queen Alexandra (21.5f) on fast ground at Royal Ascot in June; solid efforts in valuable handicaps the last twice, including here over 2m1f; looks the main danger.

Form & Verdict
Down Royal maiden winner in June (1m6f, good); ran well in Group 3s at Fairyhouse (1m6f) and Cork (1m4f) both on fast ground; won a 1m6f Listed heat at Longchamp (good to soft) in September; out of her depth in a Group 1 there on penultimate and may not have handled heavy on latest; ground shouldn't be as testing here and she has place claims if getting this trip.

Held by Dancing Tango on their recent clash in a 1m6f Group 3 but that was a big step up for this filly on the back of a maiden win at Down Royal (1m5f); might be vulnerable to something with a greater finishing kick but it's still early days.

Form & Verdict
11yo veteran won the Cesarewitch at Newmarket last year; slowly away and never figured in repeat bid back there latest; rated 97 and has a bit to find with a couple of these on his belated first run in stakes company; others look more likely.

J: James Doyle

T: Emmet Mullins

Has recorded major handicap wins over hurdles, fences and on the Flat, the latter when coming from mid-division under James Doyle in this race (soft) last year; 5lb higher today and he's unraced this term, having been withdrawn from Chester Cup in May when the ground was good to firm; whether it's soft enough for him today might be an issue.

Form & Verdict
Landed her first win at the sixth attempt in a 1m3f heavy ground maiden at Killarney early last month; no impact stepped up into Listed company at Naas six days later, beaten 15l over 1m4f; this step up in trip needs to eke out more.

Second runner for powerful yard; off the mark at the sixth attempt in a heavy ground maiden at Killarney (1m3f) earlier this month; goes back up in trip and steps up in class now and has a wide draw; stable probably has a better chance with Andromeda and she is preferred by Wayne Lordan.

Form & Verdict
Four-time winner including twice at Listed level; his wins have come at 1m to 1m6f but he has run well in a Group 3 over 15.5f at Longchamp and over 2m in a Listed race at Newmarket the last twice; top rated, handles soft ground and is the one to beat.

Won a Listed race over 1m6f last August and another over 1m4f this June; also twice runner-up in Group races at Longchamp over about 1m7f on softer than good, including 18 days ago; should give his running but others in this bring serious form and don't have to carry his penalty.
