1st (3)  (6/5 +52%)Chantez |
6/5(+52%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Chantez 6/5, 220,000 gns Wootton Bassett who has made a promising start to her career over C&D, going down by a head on debut before seeing off the reopposing Indigo Dream by 3 lengths in a maiden last month. Useful prospect. Looked potentially high-class when winning a C&D maiden last month; the one to beat. |
|||
2nd (5)  (25/1 -25%)Garden Of Eden |
25/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Garden Of Eden 25/1, Won a 7f Naas maiden winner last month. Cut out a lot of the running when 6¼ lengths sixth of 8 to stablemate Dreamy in 1m Curragh Group 3 just 6 days later. Saxon Warrior filly has plenty to prove at present but the drop in trip should suit. |
|||
3rd (2)  (9/4 -20%)Bubbling |
9/4(-20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Bubbling 9/4, No Nay Never filly who confirmed debut promise when landing 13-runner maiden at Galway (7f, good to soft, 13/8) at the end of July. The mount of Ryan Moore from her yard's 3 runners and looks capable of making her mark in a higher grade. Group 1-entered and probably wants some juice in the ground but a big player. |
|||
4th (4)  (8/1 +60%)Easy Mover |
8/1(+60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Easy Mover 8/1, Fairyhouse debut winner in June. Possibly unsuited by softer ground when only eighth of 9 in a Curragh listed race since. Steps up to 7f back from 11 weeks off. Holds G1 entry but going to have to improve to play a major role in this company. |
|||
5th (8)  (20/1 -25%)Nancy J |
20/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Nancy J 20/1, Won 16-runner maiden at Gowran (7f, good, 13/2) on debut 31 days ago, driven out. Should progress. Needed every yard when winning on debut and is bred to get much further; respected. |
|||
6th (7)  (13/2 -44%)Mojave River |
13/2(-44%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Mojave River 13/2, Showed a good attitude when landing a valuable newcomers race at Deauville last month by 2 lengths from Bogota. Definitely more to come. Won a 7f Deauville maiden on debut last month and she could be quite smart. |
|||
7th (6)  (33/1 -65%)Indigo Dream |
33/1(-65%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Indigo Dream 33/1, Fairly useful form. 5/1, 3 lengths second of 11 to Chantez in C&D maiden (good) 23 days ago. Others are preferred. No match for Chantez when 2nd over C&D but she's well worth her place in the field. |
|||
8th (1)  (28/1 -12%)And So To Bed |
28/1(-12%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) And So To Bed 28/1, Won a 6.5f course maiden in July. Creditable fifth of 21 in a valuable sales race at Naas (6f, good to soft) 40 days ago. One of 2 runners for Joseph O'Brien. Fifth in the 6f Ballyhane Stakes last time and more needed to trouble the principals here. |
|||
9th (10)  (125/1 -400%)Unexpected Issues |
125/1(-400%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Unexpected Issues 125/1, Made a winning start in 11-runner maiden at Navan (5f, good to soft) in May but found out in the Group 3 Marble Hill at the Curragh 18 days later. Off since. Sister to smart sprinter Castle Star so trip could stretch her after latest poor effort. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
Ger Lyons and Colin Keane have teamed up to land this prize twice in the past three years and may have the answer again with CHANTEZ getting the vote. The selection had Bubbling about four lengths behind when just denied here on debut before racing prominently throughout when beating Indigo Dream by three lengths again over C&D last month. Bubbling took a good step forward from that initial outing when scoring by five lengths at the Galway Festival and rates an obvious threat. Mojave River made a bright start when taking a valuable race for unraced fillies at Deauville last month, while Nancy J also scored on debut over this trip at Gowran.
The way in which BUBBLING pulled clear of her field at Galway suggests she can cope with the step up to listed company. Chantez is a useful prospect for the Ger Lyons team and is second choice ahead of Mojave River, who won a valuable newcomers race in France last month.
In front of Bubbling on debut and an impressive winner over C&D when last seen, CHANTEZ has the strongest form in the book

1st (3)  (5/2 -25%)Green Impact |
5/2(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Green Impact 5/2, Wootton Bassett colt. Dam, maiden (stayed 13.5f), half-sister to smart 6f winner Alphabet. Pulled clear of rest when second of 14 in strong maiden at the Curragh on debut and had no trouble going one better when beating Delacroix by 1½ lengths in C&D maiden. Remains open to improvement. Holds multiple G1 entries and will give the likely favourite plenty to think about again. |
|||
2nd (2)  (5/6 +44%)Delacroix |
5/6(+44%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Delacroix 5/6, Dubawi colt. Half-brother to useful 1½m-1¾m winner Grateful. Shaped well when second to Green Impact in maiden at Leopardstown (8f, good to soft, 4/1) on debut before comfortably landing the odds from a subsequent winner in maiden at the Curragh 5 weeks ago. Almost certainly more to come from him. Should be a more mature horse and can get the better of his main rival on this occasion. |
|||
3rd (1)  (11/2 -83%)Bernard Shaw |
11/2(-83%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Bernard Shaw 11/2, Confirmed debut promise (behind Green Impact) when easily landing odds in 7-runner maiden at Dundalk (8f) 30 days ago, forging clear. More to come and big shout despite Moore preferring Delacroix. Ryan Moore has opted to ride Delacroix which would suggest he's the stable second string. |
|||
4th (4)  (15/2 +46%)Green Triangle |
15/2(+46%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Green Triangle 15/2, Winner at Roscommon in July and looked set to follow up when running out in minor event (11/10) at Killarney (8.2f, good). Failed to keep straight once more when third in listed race at Tipperary. Opposable up in class. Folded tamely when 3rd at Tipperary; looks well up against it in this company. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
Green Impact beat DELACROIX by a length and a half over C&D in July but the places may now be reversed. The winner had the advantage of a previous run which proved crucial as the selection ran quite green, but the Dubawi colt knew more next time at the Curragh when making all over 7f. He was strong at the finish and the step back up to a mile should suit. Stablemate Bernard Shaw was about five lengths behind Green Impact when the pair made their debut at the Curragh but took a good step forward when a wide margin winner over a mile at Dundalk last month. Green Triangle was set to add to a Roscommon maiden win when running out through the rail close home at Killarney.
Aidan O'Brien's 2 runners are obviously strong contenders but GREEN IMPACT has already beaten them both in a couple of maidens and can come out on top again.
Ryan Moore will take the ride on DELACROIX who landed the odds in style at the Curragh last time and is held in very high regard

1st (10)  (10/11 +52%)Diego Velazquez |
10/11(+52%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Diego Velazquez 10/11, Very smart colt who returned to form with a vengeance when winning 7-runner Meld Stakes at this course (9f, good, 8/11) 58 days ago by 7 lengths from Tarawa, forging clear. The runner-up has franked that form since and he's a big player. Bolted up in the Meld Stakes; back to 1m should not be an issue and looks a leading player. |
|||
2nd (5)  (20/1 -150%)Mutasarref |
20/1(-150%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Mutasarref 20/1, Progressing well this year and defied a double penalty in 8-runner Desmond Stakes at this C&D (good to firm) 37 days ago by ½ length from Mountain Bear, suited by emphasis on speed. Likely to give another good account. In the form of his life this year with three wins; likely to find one or two too good. |
|||
3rd (12)  (20/1 -67%)Mountain Bear |
20/1(-67%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Mountain Bear 20/1, Bounced back to best when ½-length second of 8 to Mutasarref in Desmond Stakes at this C&D (good to firm) 37 days ago, never nearer. This is tougher, though. Good second when left a lot to do in the Desmond Stakes; could get involved. |
|||
4th (6)  (13/2 +28%)Poker Face |
13/2(+28%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Poker Face 13/2, Ran close to his best when second in Celebration Mile at Goodwood (8f, soft) 21 days ago, clear of rest. Yard going well and has solid each-way claims if turning up here in similar form. Good second in Group 2 contests this year at Sandown and Goodwood; needs it softer. |
|||
5th (3)  (22/1 -57%)Lord Massusus |
22/1(-57%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Lord Massusus 22/1, C&D winner who ran another fine race when ½-length third of 8 to Mutasarref in Desmond Stakes at this C&D (good to firm, 5/1) 37 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Highly likely to give his running once again. In good form this year; unlikely to be good enough but could get into the frame. |
|||
6th (4)  (10/3 -11%)Maljoom |
10/3(-11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Maljoom 10/3, Took well to the fitting of blinkers when second in Group 1 Sussex Stakes at Goodwood in July. Shade disappointing in International Stakes at York last time, looking none too keen, but big form chance if bouncing back. Group 1 horse; cheekpieces applied here and will take the beating if running to his best. |
|||
7th (9)  (80/1 -21%)Bright Stripes |
80/1(-21%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Bright Stripes 80/1, Useful colt who seemed stretched by the longer trip when fifth of 6 in Royal Whip Stakes at the Curragh (10f, good to firm) 28 days ago. Back down in trip and fitted with a first-time tongue strap but faces a stiff task. Thoroughly exposed at Group 3 level; tongue-tie tried but others make far more appeal. |
|||
8th (11)  (9/1 +36%)Galen |
9/1(+36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Galen 9/1, Off the mark in a 1m Curragh maiden in June and found a good opportunity when following up at Killarney the following month. Shaped a bit better than the bare result upped in grade fourth to Mutasarref in Desmond Stakes over C&D subsequently and remains with potential. Beaten fair and square behind three of these in the Desmond Stakes; others preferred. |
|||
9th (2)  (28/1 +7%)Flight Plan |
28/1(+7%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Flight Plan 28/1, Won this race 12 months ago but remains with just one standout effort this season, having run of race when beating only 2 home in Strensall Stakes at York (8.8f) on most recent outing. Something to prove. Some revival may come with the return to this venue but hard to fancy at present. |
|||
10th (1)  (66/1 +0%)Bold Discovery |
66/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Bold Discovery 66/1, Added to a good record fresh when landing Group 3 over C&D in May. Well beaten both outings since, albeit reportedly lost action around 3f out when a well-held sixth behind Diego Valazquez last time. Well beaten last twice but coming back to 1m will suit; looks up against it though. |
|||
11th (7)  (100/1 -100%)Power Under Me |
100/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Power Under Me 100/1, Didn't need to be at best to win 5-runner minor event (5/6) at Naas (7f, good to soft) 52 days ago, driven out. Has more on his plate back up in grade. Winner of six of his 21 starts and a credit to his connections; needs it much softer. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
MALJOOM hasn't added to three wins in 2022 but was restricted to just one outing last term and has shown smart placed form this season at the highest level. The Caravaggio five-year-old was slowly away when third to Charyn in the Queen Anne at Royal Ascot and beat all bar Notable Speech in the Sussex Stakes at Goodwood. He was too keen last time when upped in trip at York and is preferred to Diego Velazquez who returned to form when a runaway winner over 1m1f here in July. Mutasarref gained a fourth course win when beating Mountain Bear by half a length, with Lord Massusus just a head further back in third, in the Group 3 Desmond Stakes last month while Poker Face also merits respect.
DIEGO VELAZQUEZ returned to form with a vengeance when forging clear of a subsequent winner in the Meld Stakes here in July and is fancied to take the step back up in grade in his stride and remain unbeaten at this track. Maljoom is sure to pose a big threat if returning to the sort of form shown when runner-up in the Sussex Stakes on his penultimate outing, while Poker Face has solid each-way claims if backing up his latest effort.
The proven Group 1 form shown over a mile by MALJOOM (nap) in the Queen Anne and Sussex Stakes will make him hard to beat

1st (6)  (5/4 +9%)Porta Fortuna |
5/4(+9%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Porta Fortuna 5/4, Won the Group 1 Cheveley Park at 2 and has taken her form up another notch this year, going close in the 1000 Guineas before taking the Coronation at Royal Ascot and the Falmouth at Newmarket this summer. Likeable and smart mare who just about sets the standard. Top-class performer and will take a big performance to beat her; always runs a big race. |
|||
2nd (4)  (5/2 +17%)Fallen Angel |
5/2(+17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Fallen Angel 5/2, Too Darn Hot filly who ended her excellent 2-y-o campaign with victory in the Group 1 Moyglare at the Curragh (7f, good to soft). Closer to a strong pace than ideal when 4½ lengths eighth of 16 to Elmalka in 1000 Guineas and back on track in no uncertain terms when winning Irish equivalent. Right at her best when bolting up in the Irish 1,000 Guineas last time; huge force. |
|||
3rd (7)  (14/1 +0%)Soprano |
14/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Soprano 14/1, Much improved when landing the Sandringham Handicap at Royal Ascot and things didn't go her way on next 2 starts. Ridden more positively when gaining pattern breakthrough in Group 3 company at Deauville last month, comfortably but this asks a different question. Worth a crack at a G1 again off the back of G3 win in France she will probably fall short. |
|||
4th (10)  (6/1 +8%)Ylang Ylang |
6/1(+8%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Ylang Ylang 6/1, Frankel filly who won 3 of her 5 starts as a juvenile, notably the Fillies' Mile. Good ¾-length fifth of 16 to Elmalka in 1000 Guineas at Newmarket on reappearance but just wasn't herself when sent off a warm order in the Oaks. Excuses for run in the Desmond Stakes over C&D and she can bounce back. No good in C&D G3 last time; clearly has lots of ability but is proving costly to follow. |
|||
5th (8)  (14/1 +30%)Vespertilio |
14/1(+30%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Vespertilio 14/1, Group 2 winner as a juvenile and shaped well on reappearance when third from a tough draw in Group 1 Poule d'Essai des Pouliches at Longchamp in May. Unable to replicate that level twice since, albeit she was hampered latest. Excellent second to Fallen Angel in the Group 1 Moyglare last year but not as good since. |
|||
6th (2)  (150/1 -50%)Mammas Girl |
150/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Mammas Girl 150/1, Quickly achieved useful level for Richard Hannon in 2023. Kept pretty good company since but limitations exposed since and she's in for another struggle. Only ran okay when fourth in Tipperary Group 3 when last seen; she's going to struggle. |
|||
7th (9)  (66/1 +0%)Wendla |
66/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Wendla 66/1, Well-related filly who landed a maiden/Group 3 in the spring but subsequent efforts confirm she's short of this top level. C&D G3 winner but made little impact in recent starts and is difficult to recommend. |
|||
8th (5)  (9/1 +0%)Jancis |
9/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Jancis 9/1, Striking winning debut despite unflattering odds over 7.2f here in June and took a leap forward when following up in the Group 3 Brownstown Stakes a month later. Ought to stay 1m and she demands respect. Fiesolana won this race in 2014 for the yard and this filly could be every bit as good. |
|||
9th (1)  (100/1 -52%)Magical Sunset |
100/1(-52%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Magical Sunset 100/1, Won the Group 3 Oak Tree at Goodwood (7f, heavy) last summer for Richard Hannon but her form is essentially no better than useful and she's up against it again in this company. Blinkers on first time. Has 7l to find with Porta Fortuna on Falmouth Stakes run at Newmarket when last seen. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
PORTA FORTUNA is well suited by a sound surface and has progressed well this season. The Donnacha O'Brien-trained filly was just denied in the Qipco 1000 Guineas but went one better in the Coronation Stakes at Royal Ascot before following up in great style in the Falmouth at Newmarket, with Rogue Millennium four lengths back in third. Fallen Angel bounced back from a below par effort in the Guineas at Newmarket by making all for an impressive win in the Irish equivalent at the Curragh but has been sidelined since through injury. Soprano deserves a crack at this level after a convincing Group 3 win at Deauville last month.
PORTA FORTUNA already has 3 top-level victories to her name and with her superb attitude on her side, she's selected to strike again. Fallen Angel is clear-second choice on form and is fresh for this having been off since her ready Irish 1000 Guineas success, while the unknown quantity in the line-up is Jancis given she defends an unbeaten record.
Willie McCreery had his best day as a trainer when Fiesolana won this race in 2014 and JANCIS might prove to be every bit as good

1st (5)  (7/4 -27%)Economics |
7/4(-27%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Economics 7/4, Burst on the Group-race scene with a 6-length win in the Dante at York in May and underlined that he's potentially out of the top drawer when readily picking of Jayarebe in a Deauville Group 2 3 months later (both 1¼m, good). Can take the step up to Group 1 level in his stride. This is by far his sternest test to date; he will have to be a very good horse to pass it. |
|||
2nd (1)  (9/4 +25%)Auguste Rodin |
9/4(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Auguste Rodin 9/4, Has flopped a few times but very much on a going day when winning this last year and showed he's as good as ever at 4 when landing the Prince of Wales's at Royal Ascot in June. Threw in one of his lesser efforts in the King George since but he's always bounced straight back from poor runs before. Has to bounce back from an ordinary effort in the King George in July but has done so. |
|||
3rd (8)  (16/1 +0%)Shin Emperor |
16/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Shin Emperor 16/1, Smart Japanese-trained filly who was last seen finishing third in their Derby at Tokyo (1½m, good to firm) in May. Will need to advance her form a good deal if she is to make her first start in Europe a winning one. Given the reputation of Japanese horses when travelling in recent years is hard to dismiss. |
|||
4th (7)  (8/1 -45%)Los Angeles |
8/1(-45%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Los Angeles 8/1, The only defeat of his 6-race career came when third in the Epsom Derby. Took the Irish version at the Curragh 4 weeks later and probably even slightly bettered that form when defying a Group 1 penalty in the Voltigeur at York. The drop back to 1¼m isn't certain to play his strengths. Did enough to win the Irish Derby and the Great Voltigeur; intriguing dropped back in trip. |
|||
5th (6)  (11/2 +54%)Ghostwriter |
11/2(+54%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Ghostwriter 11/2, Group 2 winner at 2 and has reached the frame at Group 1 level on all 4 starts this year, on the latest finishing 4½ lengths third of 13 to City of Troy in the International at York (1¼m, good). Place claims again. Has found it tougher this season but has yet to run a bad race; likely to fall short. |
|||
6th (3)  (11/1 +21%)Luxembourg |
11/1(+21%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Luxembourg 11/1, High-class horse who notched the fourth Group 1 success of his career in the Coronation Cup at Epsom (1½m, soft) at the end of May but a well-beaten sixth in the King George at Ascot since. Needs first-time cheekpieces to have a positive effect. Well below par in the King George last time; cheekpieces tried and capable of a big run. |
|||
7th (4)  (25/1 +50%)Royal Rhyme |
25/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Royal Rhyme 25/1, Ayr listed winner last autumn and added to his very good record on going softer than good when landing the Brigadier Gerard at Sandown (1¼m, soft) on his reappearance in May. Limitations exposed on a quicker surface since and would only enter the each-way equation should the ground turn soft. Not disgraced but exposed in better company since Sandown and unlikely to contend here. |
|||
8th (2)  (250/1 -25%)Hans Andersen |
250/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Hans Andersen 250/1, Very useful in his own right but often employed as a pacemaker in Group 1s this summer, although not in the International at York last time (well held). Chance he'll resume those front-running duties today but big outsider either way. Group 3 winner last year; in here very much in a pacemaking role today. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
ECONOMICS burst onto the scene when taking the Dante Stakes by six lengths at York and after connections decided to miss the Derby and give the colt a mid-season break, again showed an impressive turn of foot to beat Jayarebe by two lengths in another Group 2 at Deauville last month. Auguste Rodin's impressive haul of six top level wins includes a half-length defeat of Luxembourg in this race last year but he put in a below par effort at Ascot last time. Irish Derby winner Los Angeles may find this trip a bit sharp, while Shin Emperor has been placed twice in Grade 1 events in Japan including last time when third to Danon Decile in the Japanese Derby back in May.
A cracking renewal in which ECONOMICS, who has been so impressive in Group 2 company on his last 2 starts, can show he has what it takes to come out on top at the highest level. Last year's winner Auguste Rodin can bounce back from his below-par run in the King George and provide the chief threat ahead of Ghostwriter.
Preference is for last year's winner AUGUSTE RODIN, who has to bounce back from a poor run at Ascot, but he has done it before

1st (4)  (3/1 +25%)Trustyourinstinct |
3/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Trustyourinstinct 3/1, Has already tried hurdling but is a smart performer on the level, running right up to form when ½-length second of 6 to Continuous in Royal Whip Stakes at the Curragh (10f, good to firm) 28 days ago, sticking to task. Should continue to give a good account with this trip within range. Gave St Leger winner Continuous a good race when last seen on faster ground; big player. |
|||
2nd (9)  (9/2 +44%)Kinesiology |
9/2(+44%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Kinesiology 9/2, Winning reappearance in maiden company at Cork in May and better form when runner-up in listed company since, neck second of 8 to Chemistry in listed race at this course (14f, good) 23 days ago, driven out (first past the post but subsequently demoted). Cheekpieces may help him keep straight. Demoted to second after an enquiry here last time over further; each-way contender. |
|||
3rd (6)  (28/1 -211%)Thunder Roll |
28/1(-211%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Thunder Roll 28/1, Useful filly. 11½ lengths sixth of 7 to Sumiha in Munster Oaks (10/3) at Cork (12f, good). Off 92 days and cheekpieces fitted in her quest to bounce back. Failed to confirm the form with Sumiha at Cork; needs soft in the description. |
|||
4th (3)  (7/2 +22%)Sumiha |
7/2(+22%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Sumiha 7/2, Runner-up twice in listed company during the spring and didn't need to improve to win 7-runner Munster Oaks at Cork (12f, good) by 1¼ lengths from Trevaunance, responding well. Off 92 days but very much in the right hands to progress again. Impressed when landing the Munster Oaks at Cork when last seen; respected. |
|||
5th (1)  (6/1 -100%)Klondike |
6/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Klondike 6/1, Found a bit more improvement under a fine ride as he gained a first win since his debut in a York listed race in June (13.9f). Brushed aside having helped set a strong gallop back that that venue next time but bounced back in no uncertain terms when landing Prix de Reux at Deauville latest. Right back to his best when landing a French Group 3 at Deauville; respected. |
|||
6th (5)  (18/1 -29%)Yashin |
18/1(-29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Yashin 18/1, Got within 2¾ lengths of Kyprios when third in Saval Beg at Leopardstown in May (won 2023 renewal) but returned to a big-field handicaps, he's underperformed both starts since. Had wind surgery before running a poor race in the Ebor at York last month; more needed. |
|||
7th (8)  (13/2 +24%)Euphoric |
13/2(+24%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Euphoric 13/2, Useful form when runner-up in a Derby Trail here in May. Could manage only mid-field at Epsom and no impact in good company twice since but this a more realistic assignment. The choice of Ryan Moore but there's a chance he could be on the wrong one. |
|||
8th (10)  (125/1 -89%)La Familia |
125/1(-89%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) La Familia 125/1, Japanese raider, latest win at Hanshin in March but failed to beat a rival last 3 starts and she's right up against it. Japanese raider won 1m4f Hanshin maiden in March but tailed off last in three starts. |
|||
9th (7)  (9/1 +64%)Chantilly |
9/1(+64%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Chantilly 9/1, Useful colt. Course winner. Winner here in April. Fourteenth of 18 in handicap at Galway (12f, soft, 6/1) 43 days ago and lot to prove after that, albeit he couldn't be in better hands. Tough task but stable won four of last six runnings and the 3yo allowance will be a help. |
|||
10th (2)  (22/1 +12%)Layfayette |
22/1(+12%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Layfayette 22/1, Smart gelding who added to his haul in Group 3 company at the Curragh in August 2023. Off since a lesser effort at Sakhir in November but he has the ability to be a factor if fully tuned for this return. Last seen finishing last in the G2 Bahrain International Trophy; plenty to prove. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
The three-year-olds have generally held sway in this Group 3 event but perhaps the older generation will gain the upper hand this time with TRUSTYOURINSTINCT getting the vote. The Churchill gelding likes to force the pace and has progressed well since reverting to the Flat filling the runner-up spot on his latest two starts in Group 3 company. Klondike merits respect following a career best when scoring at Deauville, while Sumiha had Thunder Roll well behind when also successful in Group 3 company last time in the Munster Oaks at Cork. Kinesiology only lost the 1m6f Vinnie Roe Stakes in the stewards room here last month.
This Group 3 has an open feel to it with TRUSTYOURINSTINCT just about the most persuasive option with the way he stuck to his task in the Royal Whip Stakes strongly suggesting this trip will suit. Klondike must concede weight all round as a winner at this level recently but he's very likely to go well again, with Sumiha another to note with her ceiling not yet known.
The vote goes to CHANTILLY, who was only beaten 4l at Royal Ascot and the race could be set up nicely for him by his stablemate

1st (19)  (9/1 +55%)Fighter |
9/1(+55%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (19) Fighter 9/1, Lightly-raced winner. 6/1 and blinkered for 1st time, career best when winning 22-runner maiden at the Curragh (10f, good) 21 days ago, kept up to work. Makes handicap debut. Should go well again. Curragh winner could improve plenty stepping up in trip here but will probably need to. |
|||
2nd (6)  (3/1 +40%)Chemistry |
3/1(+40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Chemistry 3/1, Thrice-raced winner. Won 8-runner listed race at this course (14f, good, 10/1) 23 days ago by neck from Kinesiology (second past the post but bumped last 1f and subsequently promoted). Very much one to consider with more to offer on his handicap debut. Awarded a Listed race here; interesting in his first handicap with maybe more to offer. |
|||
3rd (1)  (14/1 +30%)Eagle's Way |
14/1(+30%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Eagle's Way 14/1, 2 wins from 2 runs this year. 8/1, career best when winning 18-runner handicap at Galway (12f, soft) 43 days ago, digging deep. Ought to be in the shake-up in his hat-trick bid. Well-drawn for a front-runner, and despite top weight, he will be a tough nut to crack. |
|||
4th (10)  (4/1 +47%)Nurburgring |
4/1(+47%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Nurburgring 4/1, 13/2, improved to win 19-runner handicap hurdle at Galway (16f, good to soft) 44 days ago, driven out. Significantly up in trip. Stable in good form so he's well in the mix. Impressive winner of the Galway Hurdle; has a big shout if he can transfer that form. |
|||
5th (8)  (10/1 +0%)Barnso |
10/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Barnso 10/1, Latest win at Fairyhouse in May. Very good ¾-length third of 8 to Chemistry in listed race (10/1) at this course (14f, good) 23 days ago, keeping on well. Needs considering. Good third latest; needs to progress again to win this but that is far from impossible. |
|||
6th (7)  (16/1 -33%)Ameerat Jumaira |
16/1(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Ameerat Jumaira 16/1, 2 wins from 4 runs this year. Career best when winning 11-runner handicap at the Curragh (12f, good, 6/1) 21 days ago, cosily. Yard having good spell. Progressing recently. Could still have more to offer and looks a leading player with the step up in trip a plus. |
|||
7th (12)  (14/1 -17%)Spasiba |
14/1(-17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Spasiba 14/1, First run since leaving S. Curling when creditable third of 20 in handicap at Galway (16.8f, good to soft, 8/1) 47 days ago. Down in trip. Merits consideration. Ran very well on his stable debut when second in the amateur handicap at Galway; claims. |
|||
8th (21)  (66/1 -32%)Mo Ghille Mar |
66/1(-32%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (21) Mo Ghille Mar 66/1, Latest win at Killarney in July. Last of 16 in handicap at York (13.8f, good to firm, 33/1) 21 days ago. Not easy to make a case for. Two wins but well below her best at York last month; others preferred; 2lb wrong. |
|||
9th (16)  (33/1 +34%)Derry Lad |
33/1(+34%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (16) Derry Lad 33/1, Ninth of 12 in handicap at York (11.8f, good to firm, 10/1) 22 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter. Well beaten in good handicaps last twice and others preferred. |
|||
10th (17)  (40/1 -21%)En Or |
40/1(-21%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (17) En Or 40/1, 1 win from 3 runs this year. Career best when winning 7-runner handicap (8/1) at Clonmel (16.6f, good) 9 days ago, driven out. Carries 7 lb penalty but can't be discounted back down in trip. Sixth career win when landing the 2m Tipperary Cup at Clonmel last week; much more needed. |
|||
11th (3)  (33/1 -32%)My Lyka |
33/1(-32%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) My Lyka 33/1, Tongue strap on for 1st time, nineteenth of 20 in handicap (17/2) at Royal Ascot (20f, good to firm) on UK flat debut 88 days ago. Significantly down in trip. Needs a couple of these to falter. Clearly better than Ascot but very hard to assess and might just be best watched. |
|||
12th (13)  (12/1 +14%)Lot Of Joy |
12/1(+14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) Lot Of Joy 12/1, 4/1, creditable third of 12 in handicap at Killarney (14.4f, good to soft) 22 days ago. Enters calculations. Decent runs in premier handicaps this year at the Curragh and Killarney; each-way chance. |
|||
13th (2)  (33/1 -32%)Satin |
33/1(-32%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Satin 33/1, C&D winner. 27 lengths last of 9 to Scenic in listed race (11/2) at York (11.8f, good to firm) 23 days ago so needs to bounce back. Not at her best in two runs this season at Gowran and York; others look more likely. |
|||
14th (15)  (40/1 -21%)Oriole |
40/1(-21%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (15) Oriole 40/1, 1 win from 3 runs this year. Career best when winning 12-runner handicap (7/1) at Galway (11.8f, soft) 42 days ago, driven out. Not taken lightly in her current mood. 6lb rise not excessive although might need some luck in running from her inside draw. |
|||
15th (5)  (11/1 -47%)Plontier |
11/1(-47%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Plontier 11/1, First run since leaving Tadeusz Debowski when easily landing 10-runner novice hurdle at Sligo (20.5f, soft) on NH debut 37 days ago, cruising clear. A useful 14f scorer on the Flat in France too so most interesting back in this sphere. Easy winner of a Sligo maiden hurdle on his stable debut last month; intriguing runner. |
|||
16th (4)  (25/1 -56%)Smooth Tom |
25/1(-56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Smooth Tom 25/1, Course winner. 1 win from 2 runs this year. Career best when winning 4-runner handicap (6/1) at Gowran (12.4f, good) 31 days ago. Not taken lightly in his current mood. Gowran winner a consistent performer at a variety of trips and should run his race here. |
|||
17th (20)  (125/1 -25%)Firstman |
125/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (20) Firstman 125/1, 100/1, eleventh of 13 in handicap at Bellewstown (17.5f, good to soft) 18 days ago. Back down in trip. Six-time winner but nothing in two runs this season suggest he can contend. |
|||
18th (18)  (66/1 -32%)New Year Honours |
66/1(-32%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (18) New Year Honours 66/1, 1 win from 2 runs this year. Latest win at Down Royal in July. 5 lengths last of 7 to En Or in handicap at Clonmel (16.6f, good, 8/1) 9 days ago. Back down in trip with more needed. Below her best off 8lb higher in the Tipperary Cup last time and others preferred. |
|||
19th (9)  (18/1 -50%)Bialystok |
18/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Bialystok 18/1, Useful winner at 16f over hurdles. 20/1, suffered a poor run when a promising fifth of 18 to Eagle's Way in handicap at Galway (12f, soft) 43 days ago. Can make his presence felt. Fast finish when fifth to Eagle's Way at Galway; has the ability to get involved. |
|||
20th (11)  (9/1 +18%)Comfort Zone |
9/1(+18%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Comfort Zone 9/1, 11/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, creditable third of 18 in handicap hurdle at Galway (22.5f, soft) 42 days ago. Yard having good spell. Cheekpieces on 1st time on the Flat. In the picture. Second to Satin in this race last year off a 2lb lower mark; campaigned over hurdles since. |
|||
21st (23)  (33/1 -18%)The Names Jock |
33/1(-18%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (23) The Names Jock 33/1, Course winner. Creditable fifth of 15 in handicap hurdle (4/1) at Killarney (17f, good) 58 days ago. Fairly useful on the Flat so holds solid claims. Runner-up in last two Flat starts and fair hurdling fifth last time; could go well. |
|||
22nd (22)  (33/1 -106%)Suprise Package |
33/1(-106%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (22) Suprise Package 33/1, Lightly-raced winner on Flat. Useful winner at 21f over hurdles. Career best when winning 7-runner maiden (10/1) at Ballinrobe (12.8f, good to soft) 54 days ago. Much respected on his handicap bow. Won a Ballinrobe maiden over this trip last time; could yet have more to offer on the Flat. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
CHEMISTRY has scope for further improvement after just three career starts and may complete a hat-trick of wins this year. The grey son of Kingman won on testing ground at the Curragh back in April and appreciated the step up to 1m6f and a much sounder surface when getting a Listed race in the stewards room here last month, with Barnso keeping on well to finish a close third. Nurburgring reverts to the Flat following an impressive victory in the valuable Galway Hurdle while others to consider include Fighter, Plontier, Lot Of Joy and Ameerat Jumaira. Satin beat Comfort Line by two and a half lengths in this race last year with No Niki No in fourth and Comfort Line, who has not run since on the Flat, now appears the best treated of the trio.
This is wide open but Willie Mullins looks to hold a strong hand and his new recruit PLONTIER, a useful Flat winner in France, could prove ahead of his mark here having scored easily over hurdles on his yard debut last month. Aidan O'Brien's much less exposed 3-y-o Chemistry heads the list of dangers now going handicapping with better still to come, while the selection's stablemates Spasiba and Bialystok are also weighted to have a say. Oriole and Fighter complete the shortlist.
Preference is for COMFORT ZONE, second in this last year and comes here on the back of a fine run in a handicap hurdle at Galway

12/1(+45%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Dance Night Andday 12/1, C&D winner. 2 wins from 6 runs this year. 11/1, 4¾ lengths eighth of 11 to Shandy in Ballyogan Stakes at Naas (5.9f, good to soft) 20 days ago. Eased in weights ahead of return to handicaps and this rates more suitable. Short of room whe beaten 5l in Naas G3 last time and isn't discounted back in a handicap. |
|||
2nd (15)  (14/1 +36%)Gleneagle Bay |
14/1(+36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (15) Gleneagle Bay 14/1, Thrice-raced winner. 9/4, 1¼ lengths second of 4 to Booyea in minor event at Fairyhouse (7f, good), hampered. First run for yard after leaving Joseph Patrick O'Brien. Makes handicap debut. Few miles on the clock and has an 8lb pull in the weights with Booyea on latest run. |
|||
3rd (14)  (10/1 +0%)Garfield Shadow |
10/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (14) Garfield Shadow 10/1, Enhanced his good strike rate from the front at Chester (6f) in July and only just failed when third of 10 in handicap back at that venue (6f) 14 days ago, having to weave his way and just failing. Unexposed at 7f but likely to need luck drawn widest of all. Headed on the line at Chester; only up 1lb but a stiff 7f might stretch his stamina. |
|||
4th (11)  (16/1 +0%)Havana Blue |
16/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Havana Blue 16/1, Latest win at Beverley in August. Good second of 10 in handicap at Sandown (7f, good, 10/1) 14 days ago, having run of race. Nudged up 2 lb in what rates a tougher assignment. Nabbed in the dying strides at Sandown; won't get his own way out in front here. |
|||
5th (6)  (16/1 -33%)Booyea |
16/1(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Booyea 16/1, 2 wins from 4 runs this year. Latest win at the Curragh in June. Sixteenth of 24 in handicap back at that venue (8f, good, 15/2) 14 days ago, merely closing up late. Needs to get back on track. 6th in Galway Mile but disappointing in Irish Cambridgeshire; bit to prove off this mark. |
|||
6th (10)  (18/1 -50%)Blues Emperor |
18/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Blues Emperor 18/1, Dual 1m winner last summer but largely struggled to land a blow from marks in the 90's this time around. Disappointing when eighteenth of 24 in handicap (13/2) at the Curragh (8f, good) 14 days ago and cheekpieces/tongue tie now the headgear of choice. Penultimate Galway Mile fifth off 4lb higher brings him into this at the weights. |
|||
7th (3)  (7/2 +36%)Cerulean Bay |
7/2(+36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Cerulean Bay 7/2, Thriving 3-y-o who completed a quick-fire hat-trick when winning 9-runner handicap (9/4) at Thirsk (7f, good to firm) 15 days ago, by neck from Cuban Tiger, bit in hand. Very interesting again up 4 lb for yard in fine form. 2lb worse off with Cuban Tiger here on their Thirsk run but rates as the one to beat. |
|||
8th (18)  (50/1 -127%)Daamberdiplomat |
50/1(-127%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (18) Daamberdiplomat 50/1, 4¼ lengths sixth of 7 to Exquisite Acclaim in handicap (7/1) at Gowran (7f, good) 31 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Hood on 1st time. Slowly away last two starts and will have plenty of traffic to weave through here. |
|||
9th (2)  (16/1 -60%)Atlantic Coast |
16/1(-60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Atlantic Coast 16/1, C&D winner. 20/1, 12½ lengths eighth of 9 to Lead Artist in Thoroughbred Stakes at Goodwood (1m, firm) 43 days ago. Switch to handicaps rates a likely plus now and he could yet get back on track. Folded tamely back up in grade at Goodwood last month; handicap debut from a tough mark. |
|||
10th (16)  (8/1 +64%)Kortez Bay |
8/1(+64%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (16) Kortez Bay 8/1, Winner at Fairyhouse in June. 12/1, creditable 5¼ lengths fifth of 9 to Super Sox in listed race at Cork (7f, good to firm) 29 days ago. Booking of Carroll a plus but more needed from this career-high mark back in handicaps. Still 5lb above sole handicap start when 2nd over 6f at Naas in May; others better treated. |
|||
11th (4)  (22/1 -10%)I Am Superman |
22/1(-10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) I Am Superman 22/1, C&D winner. Five wins from 19 Flat runs. Good short-head second of 7 to Exquisite Acclaim in handicap at Gowran (7f, good, 3/1) 31 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Not taken lightly. Beaten a short-head at Gowran; effectively 5lb lower here factoring in the rider's claim. |
|||
12th (5)  (11/1 +21%)Rahmi |
11/1(+21%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Rahmi 11/1, Back on track with the blinkers enlisted, reeled in by a better treated one when short head second of 7 in handicap at Chepstow (7.1f, good to soft, 11/2) 37 days ago. Traded at 1-100 in-running when throwing the race away at Chepstow when last seen. |
|||
13th (9)  (6/1 +33%)Cuban Tiger |
6/1(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Cuban Tiger 6/1, 3/1, good neck second of 9 to Cerulean Bay in handicap at Thirsk (7f, good to firm) 15 days ago, having run of race. Trainer going well and he's worthy of respect again up 2 lb. 2lb swing in the weights with Cerulean Bay here but he will do well to reverse the form. |
|||
14th (8)  (22/1 -10%)Hurricane Ivor |
22/1(-10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Hurricane Ivor 22/1, Latest win at the Curragh in May. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, good ½-length second of 16 to Physique in handicap at Galway (7f, soft, 40/1) 41 days ago, making rapid progress around the field from his wide draw. Capable of making his mark with a repeat. Ran a cracker in first-time cheekpieces when second in the Ahonoora at the Galway festival. |
|||
15th (17)  (10/1 -25%)Old Faithful |
10/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (17) Old Faithful 10/1, Latest win at Navan in June. 22/1, respectable ninth of 24 in handicap at the Curragh (8f, good) 14 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Hasn't always looked straightforward but he certainly has the ability to play a part back down in trip. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Unable to quicken in Irish Cambridgeshire; Moore takes over but probably wants further. |

16th (13)  (22/1 -57%)Raknah |
22/1(-57%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) Raknah 22/1, Latest win at Galway in August. 8 lengths seventh of 8 to Without Words in Fairy Bridge Stakes at Tipperary (7.5f, good, 11/1) 13 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Return to handicaps rates a plus. Good win from the front at Galway and ran a huge race in valuable York handicap; player. |

17th (12)  (25/1 -56%)Physique |
25/1(-56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Physique 25/1, Latest win at Galway in August. 12/1, twelfth of 13 in handicap at Chester (7.6f, good to firm) 14 days ago. Not easy to make a case for. Didn't handle the track at Chester since and will get plenty of competition for the lead. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
CERULEAN BAY has struck a rich vein of form with a trio of wins all over this trip and, despite a combined rise of 13lb in the ratings, may still be ahead of the handicapper. The David O'Meara-trained gelding appeared to win with a bit in hand when beating Cuban Tiger by a neck at Thirsk and the booking of Colin Keane adds to confidence. Rahmi has been placed in a number of valuable handicaps this year including over this trip at Chepstow last time, while Havana Blue and Garfield Shadow also come here in good form. Physique, Hurricane Ivor and Dunum, runner-up in this race last year, filled the first three places in the Ahonoora Handicap over this trip at the Galway Festival.
CERULEAN BAY arrives here a 3-y-o firmly on a roll, completing the hat-trick with a bit to spare when fending off fellow British raider Cuban Tiger at Thirsk 2 weeks ago. A 4 lb rise for that success looks fair and he's very much of interest again with his stable continuing in fine form. The latter-named rates a lead threat again, with I Am Superman, Hurricane Ivor and Dunum leading the home challenge.
RAKNAH impressed when beating supposedly superior rivals from the front in Listed company at Galway and can bounce back to form

1st (9)  (10/1 0%)Vera's Secret |
10/1(0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Vera's Secret 10/1, Low-mileage 5-y-o who was much improved when making a winning handicap bow at the Curragh (8f, good) in July. Given a hefty rise in the weights subsequently and finished only mid-field back at the Curragh last time, though was poorly placed and possible she'll do better now. Ran too keen in the Irish Cambridgeshire; hood tried and she could be a factor if it works. |
|||
2nd (6)  (11/1 +39%)Snellen |
11/1(+39%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Snellen 11/1, Got the better of Lady Lunette at Limerick in June before that rival turned the tables at Leopardstown the following month. Resumed winning ways at Gowran in late-July but disappointing in a listed contest there last time. Still respected nevertheless. Disappointing in a Gowran Listed last month but respected back in handicap company. |
|||
3rd (11)  (22/1 -57%)Serialise |
22/1(-57%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Serialise 22/1, Back on the up when winning 11-runner handicap at Cork (7f, good to firm) 29 days ago, knuckling down well to see off the strong-travelling runner-up. Yet to fully string good efforts together though and has tough draw to overcome. Plenty to suggest that she might be capable of better; can contend off a 5lb higher mark. |
|||
4th (10)  (22/1 -57%)Sumptuary Law |
22/1(-57%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Sumptuary Law 22/1, Won her first 3 starts in handicaps, completing the hat-trick at Roscommon in July. Creditable 2¾ lengths fifth of 8 to Evening Blossom in handicap at this C&D (good) 23 days ago but perhaps has found her progress plateauing now. Has been found out off her new mark last twice and probably up against it here. |
|||
5th (14)  (50/1 -127%)Elinor Dashwood |
50/1(-127%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (14) Elinor Dashwood 50/1, Latest win at Gowran in June. 20/1, 3¾ lengths seventh of 8 to Evening Blossom in handicap at this C&D (good) 23 days ago, left poorly placed. Probably needs more to defy this mark in such a competitive contest. Won a fillies' handicap off 75 in June; close third to Serialise at Cork; squeak. |
|||
6th (2)  (13/2 +35%)Arisaig |
13/2(+35%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Arisaig 13/2, Did well after conceding first run to land 12-runner handicap at Goodwood (1m) in July. Not seen to best effeect when mid-field at York since and she remains of interest from this mark. Mid-division in a better contest at York last time; respected but others appeal more. |
|||
7th (15)  (8/1 -33%)Evening Blossom |
8/1(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (15) Evening Blossom 8/1, Showed good attitude when finally off the mark in a13-runner maiden at Gowran (8f, good) 26 days ago and produced a career-best to follow up in an 8-runner handicap at this C&D (good, 11/4) 23 days ago. Perhaps drawn higher than ideal but respected nevertheless. Not well drawn but going the right way and no surprise should she go close here. |
|||
8th (5)  (22/1 -57%)Karsavina |
22/1(-57%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Karsavina 22/1, Didn't need to improve to belated double her tally at Cork in July. Flying too high in listed company at Gowran since and probably needs a couple of these to falter back in a handicap. Did okay in a Listed at Gowran; solid enough performer but others make a bit more appeal. |
|||
9th (13)  (40/1 -14%)Anvika |
40/1(-14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) Anvika 40/1, Latest win at Limerick in June. 25/1, ran respectably without ever threatening when sixth of 8 in handicap at Gowran (7f, good to soft) 11 days ago. Not easy to make a case for. 12lb penalty for winning a Limerick handicap in June; down to a mark of 82 now. |
|||
10th (16)  (12/1 -20%)September Leaves |
12/1(-20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (16) September Leaves 12/1, Justified support to resume winning ways in a 15-runner handicap (2/1) at Gowran (8f, good to soft) 11 days ago. Likely needs to find some progress to defy a 7 lb penalty in a stronger race Visor goes back on here and might just benefit from the style of this young rider. |
|||
11th (17)  (22/1 +21%)Lucky Out |
22/1(+21%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (17) Lucky Out 22/1, Didn't need to improve to shed maiden tag at Galway in July and has shaped as if still in form both starts since, needing a stronger gallop when fifth of 8 in handicap at Gowran (7f, good to soft) 11 days ago. Others strike as likelier winners, though, Won a Galway maiden and not beaten far in two handicaps since; back up to 1m here. |
|||
12th (3)  (16/1 -33%)Independent Expert |
16/1(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Independent Expert 16/1, Has won at Cork and Killarney this season and produced another fine effort when third in a 24-runner handicap at the Curragh (8f, good) 14 days ago. Stall 7 is no bad thing and she's respected. Close third in the Irish Cambridgeshire last time; will go close if she can match that. |
|||
13th (8)  (8/1 +20%)Zapphire |
8/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Zapphire 8/1, Gained reward for a string of good efforts when winning 11-runner handicap at Beverley (8.4f, good to firm) 14 days ago. That effort represented a career-best and she's shortlisted under a claimer with whom she's built a good rapport. Landed a 1m2f handicap at Beverley two weeks ago; could still be more to come from her. |
|||
14th (4)  (17/2 +15%)Lady Lunette |
17/2(+15%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Lady Lunette 17/2, Ran out a cosy winner of a 14-runner handicap (5/1) at Leopardstown (9f, good) in July and shaped as if still in good form when ninth in a valuable event at Galway later in the month, the gaps not materialising when she needed them. Not discounted. Kept on after not getting a clear run in the Galway Mile; dropped 2lb and given a chance. |
|||
15th (19)  (28/1 -12%)Super Exceed |
28/1(-12%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (19) Super Exceed 28/1, Lightly-raced winner. 1 win from 3 runs this year. Winner at Naas in August. 15/2, 3¾ lengths sixth of 8 to Evening Blossom in handicap at this C&D (good) 23 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Not far behind Evening Blossom here last month but needs plenty more from 3lb wrong. |
|||
16th (7)  (3/1 +50%)Quadruple |
3/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Quadruple 3/1, Steadily progressive this season, making a winning handicap debut at Limerick in June before improving further when scoring in a 6-runner event at the Curragh (8f, good to firm) 35 days ago. Had run of race there but profile is upwardly mobile and she's highly respected. Will be ridden forward from an unfavourable draw and could have a bit more to offer. |
|||
17th (18)  (80/1 -142%)Nituna |
80/1(-142%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (18) Nituna 80/1, Winner at Naas in July. Thirteenth of 16 in handicap (14/1) at Navan (8.1f, good) 16 days ago. Must improve. Got her head in front in a Naas handicap in July; well beaten at Navan two weeks ago. |
|||
18th (1)  (22/1 -57%)Star Galaxy |
22/1(-57%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Star Galaxy 22/1, Produced another creditable when second of 4 in minor event at Tipperary (7.5f, good, 5/2) 13 days ago and stable remain in good form, though more is likely needed to defy this mark back handicapping. Good run in a Tipperary conditions last time but has a tough task here with this weight. |
|||
19th (12)  (28/1 -75%)Solar Breeze |
28/1(-75%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Solar Breeze 28/1, Returned to form from a slipping mark when second of 18 in handicap at the Curragh (10f, good, 20/1) 21 days ago. Cheekpiecs now applied but she may remain vulnerable to less exposed rivals. Second in a 1m2f handicap at the Curragh last month; cheekpieces tried; needs to improve. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
EVENING BLOSSOM is on a hat-trick and had a number of these rivals behind when successful over C&D last month. The Joseph O'Brien-trained filly remains on a competitive mark while Quadruple is another progressive sort having also gained a couple of mile handicap wins at Limerick and the Curragh and in between was just denied here over seven. Lady Lunette and Snellen filled the first two places in the valuable Nasrullah Handicap over 1m1f here in July and the former subsequently didn't enjoy much luck in running at Galway. Independent Expert ran a career best last time when a close third in the Irish Cambridgeshire while others for the shortlist include Zapphire and Solar Breeze.
Ger Lyons' progressive QUADRUPLE has won 2 of her 3 starts in handicaps and makes most appeal in a highly competitive fillies event. English-raider Zapphire has enjoyed a solid campaign and rates as another major player, with fellow raider Arisaig and the hat-trick seeking Evening Blossom also in the mix.
The one to beat is QUADRUPLE, a fast-improving filly who impressed at the Curragh last time and could well be stakes class

Horse racing is a popular and historic sport in the UK, with a tradition dating back centuries. It is a multi-billion pound industry that attracts millions of spectators each year and generates significant economic activity.
There are two main types of horse racing in the UK: flat racing and jump racing. Flat racing is run on a level course and is typically shorter in distance, while jump racing involves horses jumping over obstacles and is generally longer in distance. Both types of racing are popular with spectators and bettors, and they take place at various racetracks throughout the country.
The most famous horse racing event in the UK is the Grand National, which is held annually at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool. It is a jump racing event that is known for its challenging course and has become a national institution in the UK. Other notable horse racing events in the UK include the Derby, held at Epsom Downs Racecourse in Surrey, and the Royal Ascot, held at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire.
Horse racing in the UK is regulated by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA), which sets rules and standards for the industry. It is responsible for the welfare of racehorses and the safety of jockeys and trainers, as well as ensuring fair and transparent racing practices.
In addition to its economic and cultural importance, horse racing in the UK also plays a significant role in the breeding and training of thoroughbred horses. Many of the world's top thoroughbreds are bred and trained in the UK, and the industry plays a vital role in the preservation and promotion of the breed.
Overall, horse racing is an integral part of British culture and a major contributor to the country's economy. It is a thrilling and exciting sport that continues to attract a loyal following and generate significant interest from spectators and bettors around the world.
