Beautiful Morning¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: C O'Donoghue| T: Mrs J Harrington| OR: 102

16/1

Sole success came in a two-year-old maiden over 7f at York (good-to-soft) when with Luca Cumani. Not beaten far in a Group 3 contest over 1m1f here last time out but likely to find a couple to good in this.

Form: 5/25-445

Rosental²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: A Kirby| T: L M Cumani| OR: 99| D

50/1

Winner of a Listed contest over 1m2f at Saint-Cloud (good) in October last year and best effort since came when finishing third over 1m2f in a Salisbury (good-to-firm) Listed event last time out. More needed if she's to take this.

Form: 213-453

Santa Monica³¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Declan McDonogh| T: C O'Brien| OR: 99

80/1

Surprise winner of a Group 3 contest over 1m4f at Cork (good-to-firm) in June but well held in two subsequent outings including in a Group 1 over this C&D on her penultimate outing. Likely to find a few too good today.

Form: 5-94185

Seventh Heaven¹²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Seamie Heffernan| T: A P O'Brien| OR: 119| C

10/3

Dual Group 1 winner over 1m4f as a three-year-old and followed up a Group 1 second in Dubai by winning impressively over 1m4f at Newmarket (good-to-firm) in May. Unseen since and one for the shortlist on her return from a break.

Form: 1154-21

Shamreen²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: P J Smullen| T: D K Weld| OR: 107| CD

9/1

Running well this season winning two of her last three starts including a Group 3 contest over C&D on yielding-to-soft ground last time out. Blinkers worn on that occasion are retained today and likely to run well once more.

Form: 1241-61

(9)

Smart Call²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: D O'Brien| T: Sir Michael Stoute| OR: 110| D

8/1

Three time Group 1 winner in South Africa and best effort since joining this yard came when finishing a close fourth in a Group 1 at Deauville (1m2f, good) last time out. One to note in this contest.

Form: 11-3474

(6)

Alluringly¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Wayne Lordan| T: A P O'Brien| OR: 105

18/1

Ran the top class Enable to 1¾L at Chester in May and subsequently finished 11L third to that rival in the Oaks at Epsom (good). Sole victory in four subsequent starts came in a Listed event and the yard appear to have more obvious chances.

Form: 236615

Rain Goddess^t¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: R L Moore| T: A P O'Brien| OR: 110| C

5/1

Twice finished runner-up in Group 1 contests here this season including over this trip on good ground in July. Gropu 3 winner over 1m1f on good ground here last time out and likely to run well again today.

Form: 522281

Sea Of Grace²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: D Tudhope| T: W J Haggas| OR: 109| C

5/4

Winning for the first time since joining this stable when justifying odds-on favouritism in a 1m Listed event at Haydock (good-to-soft) a month ago. Placed in Group 1 company in the spring and interesting stepping up in trip today.

Form: 11-5241

Forecasts

Sea Of Grace (5/4), Seventh Heaven (10/3), Rain Goddess (5/1), Smart Call (8/1), Shamreen (9/1), Beautiful Morning (16/1), Alluringly (18/1), Rosental (50/1), Santa Monica (80/1)

SEVENTH HEAVEN was one of last seasons leading three-year-old fillies and she can register her second Group 2 success of the campaign dropping to 1m2f today. The selection boasts some strong form over this trip having finished a close fourth at the Breeders Cup last November and she can get the better of stablemate Rain Goddess who gained her second career success when successful here last time. Breeding suggests Sea Of Grace is likely to appreciate this step up in trip and she can claim third today.
