9/4
Has been very consistent in three runs over this trip at the Curragh since May, winning Listed contest there 25 days ago, should go well again and has major claims.

British raider has one win from seven on turf, ran well in Newbury handicap this month (6f, good to firm) but will need to improve to score in this company seemingly.

Consistent sort who has done all her winning over 5f to date, though has proved stamina is there for this test in the past. Should be thereabouts but others make more appeal for win purposes.

Four wins from 17 starts on turf, crept up in the ratings this term but remains competitive and return to better ground seems likely here which will boost hopes.

Already a winner at Group Three level here over 7f in May, tame effort in the Irish 1,000 Guineas subsequently but should be capable of better than that though stable are not having a great season by their own lofty standards.

Won over 7f at the Curragh on the first of the month (good to yielding), travelled powerfully last week at Killarney over a mile but found little. Drop back in trip should be a plus-point.

14/1
Satisfactory return from 328 days off over this trip at Navan last time out, had looked a smart prospect last year and will enhance that view if building in reappearance run here.

8/1
No match for Asking at the Curragh earlier in the month over 7f, though has since beaten that rivals when finishing second at Killarney over longer trip. Appears to be a bit quirky and not certain to confirm that form over this shorter trip.

Won here over 7f last month off a mark of 73, no match for a couple of these at Killarney over a mile most recently and looks hard pressed to turn form around.

Has raced only four times, landed a weak 5f maiden at Tipperary last month and will be asked a much tougher question now going in handicap company for the first time.

Winner of a 7f maiden at Dundalk (AW) in May but unable to beat a single rival home in three starts since on turf, granted this a drop in class, but hard to envisage enough to turn things around completely.

Forecasts

Only Mine (9/4), Rehana (7/2), Asking (6/1), Music Box (8/1), Peticoatgovernment (9/1), Carolinae (10/1), Alphabet (12/1), Mur Hiba (14/1), Pious Alexander (20/1), Go Kart (25/1), Nutcracker Suite (33/1), Old Time Waltz (40/1), Smoulder (50/1)

Verdict

Only Mine has been in cracking form at the Curragh over this trip recently and comes here on the back of a game success and demanding plenty of respect. She could easily prove up to this but it might be worth siding with ASKING instead. One of six for Ballydoyle in the race, she was moving ominously at Killarney last time over a mile but did not have as much in reserve as looked probably so this trip should be much more to her liking. Music Box is another of the O'Brien posse that needs considering, though she does appear somewhat quirky. British raider Carolinae needs to improve, while the consistent Go Kart could sneak into the money.
