9-8
5/6 1/2 4/5
Beaten on debut at Cork before going the rest of the season unbeaten; landed a Navan maiden (6f, soft), a four-runner conditions event here (5f, good) and ultimately the Norfolk Stakes at Royal Ascot (5f, good to firm); workmanlike when justifying short odds at Navan on seasonal return (6f, good to yielding) and there is likely improvement to come; holds Group 1 entries for Ascot.

Favourable weight of 9-8 gives a real edge in this handicap.

Won a 6f Fairyhouse maiden over this trip last July (good); best form when just denied in a Listed event at the same track in September (6f, yielding); improved over moderate seasonal return at Cork when a 3l sixth at Navan last time (6f, good to yielding); others preferred.

SR 83 suggests ability but 50/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

5/2 10/3 2/1
Maiden and Listed winner over 5f; beaten only a nose in a Group 3 over the minimum trip at Longchamp, though produced her best effort when chasing home True Love in the 6f Group 1 Cheveley Park; failed to cope with the challenge of the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf Sprint; appealing given her top-rating and she's unpenalised but lacks a run.

Favourable weight of 9-2 gives a real edge in this handicap.

Positive efforts in maidens before landing a Naas contest at the fourth attempt (6f, yielding); okay return in a Curragh handicap last time when a 4l seventh (6f, soft to heavy); this is a big ask.

SR 82 suggests ability but 66/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

22/1 25/1 22/1
Winner of her sole start last year at Navan (6f, yielding); disputing second in a Navan Listed contest before fading late into fourth (6f, good to yielding); plausible improvement to come from that first run back and was just 1.75l behind the winner Charles Darwin, although worse off at the weights now.

SR 83 suggests ability but 25/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

80/1 FCST 66/1
Cork maiden winner (5f, good) for Jack Davison last year; made a winning stable debut in a Naas handicap in March (5f, soft) and added another victory in a Cork rated contest (5f, soft); beaten 9.5l by Royal Bay Cen in a Cork Listed race last time (5.5f, soft); a lot to find.

SR 89 suggests ability but 66/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

4/1 3/1 7/2
Dual 6f French winner at two; good efforts in a pair of Group 3s before signing off her French career with an underwhelming Group 2 start; mightily impressive Irish/stable debut at Cork (5.5f, soft) when pulverising seven rivals by 9l; big chance if building on that on this better ground.

Favourable weight of 9-2 gives a real edge in this handicap.
