Camelot sister to 1m1f- 2yo winner and smart winner at up to 2m2f Cleveland (inc Chester Cup/Australian Group 2; RPR 114), half-sister to 7f AW winner Asad (92); dam 1m2f-1m4f Group 3 winner; beaten favourite but showed plenty on recent Leopardstown debut, unsuited by steady pace and ran green when staying-on third (Thenandnow second); improvement expected and talented rider's claim could enable her to reverse form with Thenandnow.

T: A P O’Brien

Disappointing favourite on rain-softened ground in the Oaks (before fifth in the Irish version) but has since fared much better on good/good to firm and last two starts have safely established her stamina at about 1m6f; just under 7l behind Highwayman in the St Leger at Doncaster on first occasion, and it's a bit hard to envisage her overturning that deficit, even though close third in Longchamp Group 1 two weeks ago was better form.

Best ratings on good or firmer; limitations seemingly exposed on last four starts, so it's easy to forget she was 7-4 favourite for the Oaks on first of those, following a Cheshire Oaks win on reappearance; didn't see out 1m6f at Goodwood on penultimate start but rallied well for a close second in 1m4f Group 3 on latest, so a little hope might have been renewed.

Leopardstown (1m, y) maiden winner started off season in promising fashion with impressive Cheshire Oaks (1m3f, good) victory; well beat when sent off favourite for Epsom Oaks and limit has probably been found since with fifth place finishes in Irish Oaks and Lillie Langtry; that form still puts her in with a winning chance down in grade.

Well held in two strong turf maidens last term; Cork race in which she was 13l seventh of 11 was won by subsequent dual Group 1 winner Precise; should be better for a run in a 6f maiden at Dundalk and this trip should be more suitable; interesting in this grade with Julian Pietropaolo claiming 7lb.

Second foal; half-sister to 7f juvenile winner Attack; dam Albigna won the Prix Marcel Boussac; easy enough to back, very promising debut second in Leopardstown fillies maiden earlier this month, handy throughout in steadily-run affair when second to an all-the-way winner; looks a maiden winner in waiting but may not confirm that form with third-placed Amelia Earhart on these terms.
