Form & Verdict
High-class sprinting 2yo of last year, winning the Group 3 Marble Hill Stakes at the Curragh and twice placed in Group 1 company, notably at the Breeders' Cup on final start; is well clear of these rivals and his yard has been in fine form so is difficult to oppose.

Very experienced for his age; winner of six of his 16 starts and placed eight times; strong form in winning with something to spare from Mgheera in a C&D Group 2 in July; faded in the final quarter-mile of the Nunthorpe; could bounce back and helps to give the stable a strong hand, with Bucanero Fuerte also in the mix.

Arizona Blaze

9st 13lb

J: David Egan

T: Adrian Murray

Often leads; has had plenty of racing for his tender years but he's tough and reliable and his first 5f run of the year saw him achieve strong form in winning with something to spare from Mgheera in a Group 2 at the Curragh (good; acts well on firm) in July; still has potential over 5f.

Arizona Blaze

9st 5lb

J: David Egan

T: Adrian Murray

Front running 3yo is a two-time Group 3 winner at 5.5f-6f; narrowly denied in the Grade 1 Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf last November on his last start over 5f (firm); touched off in the Commonwealth Cup at Royal Ascot last month (6f, gd-fm); right in the mix on official ratings and a bold bid looks likely.

Yet to win this year but has been running very well in defeat; chased home Valiant Force over C&D latest (Black Forza and The Highway Rat behind); fine third in the 5f Group 2 Sapphire Stakes earlier this season; won her maiden here (6f) and she should be in the mix again.

Yet to add to her 6f debut win at this venue; running well in defeat in stakes company this season and her rating of 98 might underestimate her ability; the return to this venue is a plus and she should go well.

Form & Verdict
Won a 5f Tipperary maiden last year and ran well several times in Listed company after, though was below form at this track on final start; doesn't have much to find with Arizona Blaze on these terms but needs his best form.

A fairly useful ex-Irish 5f winner; yet to hit top form for his current yard but better signs when ninth of 14 in 5f Newcastle handicap three weeks ago; no forlorn hope off a 2lb lower mark if building on it.

Ex-Irish 4yo; best run for current stable when ninth at Thirsk last month; the return to 5f/AW won't faze him but this looks a warm race in which to end his losing streak.

He's on a competitive mark on last season's best form for David Marnane but he was well beaten on his stable debut at York last October and it was the same outcome there this month on his return; he has plenty to prove.

Form & Verdict
Seems to be the yard's second-string; kept busy last year for former yard, winning once and running respectably in Group 3 company; not a bad handicap run for this yard last time but needs her stablemate to run well below form to have a winning chance.
