Form & Verdict
Four-time winner in Britain has made a very positive start with this stable, finishing third over C&D in Munster Oaks after 206 days off before producing clear career best when bolting up by 4.75l in Listed Lenebane Stakes at Roscommon (1m4f, good) 45 days ago, making all; proving progressive and is capable of taking this step up in grade in her stride; leading chance for last year's winning stable.

Won three handicaps in Britain for Sir Mark Prescott; very pleasing start for this stable when a 2.75l third of 9 in a Cork Group 3 (1m4f, good) behind the promising Sparan Nua; a bit to find on paper here, but will love the ground and more black type could be on the cards.

Productive 2025 campaign for Sir Mark Prescott included a 1m4f handicap hat-trick; signed off from former yard well beaten in Listed company on AW at Lingfield (1m5f); purchased for 150,000gns in the meantime and has the rating to get involved, but trainer's other runner, Perfect Your Craft, is arguably more interesting.

Acquitted herself well in stakes company this season, finishing a 0.5l second to subsequent Group 3 winner Moody in Listed contests over C&D (soft) and at Gowran Park (1m6f, good/yielding); respectable run when sixth in strong renewal of Orby Stakes 83 days ago; ew claims back against own sex; firm ground a possible negative.

Very useful filly has returned this term with 0.5l defeats by Moody at Listed level at both Cork (1m4f) and Gowran (1m6f), each time forcing it; this a much deeper race than those however so will do well to sneak a place.

Won twice last season, a Punchestown maiden (9.5f, gd-yld) and a conditions race at Bellewstown (12.5f, soft); reeled in late on by Moody in Cork Listed race on return (1m4f, sft-hvy); 3lb better off for that 0.5l defeat so could turn that form around but not guaranteed to stay 1m6f on breeding; the choice of McMonagle.

Form & Verdict
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.

Reappeared with 2l win in the Listed Cheshire Oaks at Chester (11.3f, good); soundly beaten when favourite for the Oaks itself on testing ground at Epsom and put firmly in her place when fifth in Irish Oaks at the Curragh (1m4f, good to firm; 5-1); wore a hood and blinkers on first two starts this season, just cheekpieces on latest; some limitations have seemingly been exposed and others saw the race out better in her two Oaks bids.

Naas Oaks trial winner (10.3f, good); built on that since with a neck second to Rebel Moon at Naas and shaped well from off the pace when stepped up to this trip at Newmarket last time, finishing third beaten 5.75l by Tattycoram; caught the eye with how she hit the line that day and should go well.

3yo who was a Listed winner at Naas (10.3f, good) in May when upped in trip and went close in the Group 3 Jannah Rose Stakes there (10.3f, good) ten days ago, when 5l clear of the third; needs to prove her stamina for this new distance but she might be far away if seeing it out.

Winner and Listed-placed over 7f at two; hooded when disappointing in Guineas trial over that trip on comeback; made some late progress in a 1m Group 3 at the Curragh; much-improved only five days later when beating La Fogata in a Listed contest over C&D.

Ice Dancer

8st 8lb

J: Gavin Ryan

T: A P O’Brien

Maiden winner here and Group 3-placed over 1m on heavy in the autumn; reportedly showed signs of coming into season when 26l behind on Group 3 seasonal return at Navan (1m2f, good to yielding); few apparent excuses when 18.5l behind in a Naas Listed contest last time (10.5f, good); holds an Irish Oaks entry, but Bloom is more appealing of trainer's two; blinkers on.

40/1

Betting Forcast

22/1 Ankara, 11/4 Bosphorus Rose, 4/1 Nyra, 9/1 Snapretend, 4/1 Amelia Earhart, 6/1 Believed, 10/1 Cameo, 15/2 Caught U Sleeping, 33/1 Ice Dancer

Verdict

An intriguing renewal with Bosphorus Rose likely to prove popular for last year’s winning trainer Paddy Twomey after she bolted up in the Lenebane last time. However, BELIEVED ran a cracker when third in the King George V Stakes at Royal Ascot and that looks red-hot form now. She was unlucky not to justify favouritism when third at Gowran Park in a messy race and could offer some value. Nyra also has strong claims, while Amelia Earhart can go close dropped in grade.
