Coillte Cailin²⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 9-0| J: P Makin| T: D O'Meara| OR: 83

66/1

Has only made the frame twice on turf and a BHA rating of 83 shows she is up against it here.

Form: 153475

Dawn Of Hope²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Andrea Atzeni| T: R Varian| OR: 108| D

6/4

Winner in similar grade at Deauville and third at Doncaster in April. Beaten in two Group races since but back at her proper level here. Would appreciate some juice in the ground in order to capitalise on the superiority indicated by the official ratings.

Form: 541-377

Home Cummins^p¹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: P Hanagan| T: R A Fahey| OR: 90| BF| D

8/1

Third in a Listed race at Lingfield last backend and holds Crowning Glory on that effort. Best effort since came at Epsom during Derby week. Has work to do on form but given a decent pace she could be a surprise package if others fail to deliver.

Form: 3-00367

Lincoln Rocks⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: D Tudhope| T: D O'Meara| OR: 93| BF| D

14/1

Provides the pace angle for this having made all to land a Musselburgh handicap last month. Latest effort at Haydock suggests she is not up to this standard.

Form: 5-24314

Permission⁴¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: J R Fanshawe| OR: 93| D

10/3

Time has shown she faced an impossible task in trying to concede 22lb to Tisbutadream at Ascot in May. Ridden conservatively on first attempt over 1m2f next time and interesting to see her switched to this stiff mile. The Ascot form flatters her but, with only five career starts, it suggests she is closer to this standard than official ratings suggest.

Form: 1590-24

Pirouette²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: R Winston| T: H Morrison| OR: 105| D

3/1

Comes here in preference to a tougher assignment in the Falmouth Stakes on Friday. Has two seconds and a third in Listed company and this looks an easier contest than either of those races. Unlike Dawn Of Hope she would prefer the ground to remain on the fast side of good.

Form: 352-328

(7)

Summer Icon¹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: S De Sousa| T: M R Channon| OR: 95

25/1

2-23 record and a 0-7 record in this company. That profile makes her tough to fancy despite the current of both trainer and jockey.

Forecasts

Dawn Of Hope (6/4), Pirouette (3/1), Permission (10/3), Home Cummins (8/1), Crowning Glory (8/1), Lincoln Rocks (14/1), Summer Icon (25/1), Coillte Cailin (66/1)

Dawn Of Hope is the pick on BHA ratings but that figure appears inflated and she may be more adept on softer ground than forecast here. PIROUETTE has earned her official mark of 105. She looks the one that genuinely sets the standard and conditions are favourable. Permission is open to improvement and is not as far off the standard required as her form appears.
