13/2

Back close to her best last week at Leopardstown (1m4f, good) despite racing a bit keen early on. Has been a consistent performer this term with two wins early on and liable to be in the shake-up again.

7/2

Not beaten far in a Fillies Group 2 at the Curragh in July when last out, is 1lb higher than when going down by an agonising margin in this contest a year ago and a big challenge is expected.

Form: 3-32253

Remarkable Lady^p,t⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Declan McDonogh| T: H Rogers| OR: 92

50/1

Useful handicapper, up significantly in trip and class here and facing a stiff task on the formbook.

Wilamina²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Chris Hayes| T: M Meade| OR: 102

7/1

Found out last time in French Group 1 but previous effort in 1m1f Curragh Fillies Group 2 must see her in the mix. Has run well on soft ground before, but this surface could pose a new question.

Form: 200-120

Alluringly^v1⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: P B Beggy| T: A P O'Brien| OR: 104| CD

11/2

Ran excellent race to win Listed contest over C&D on soft ground here last month, since been tasked with tough challenges in Yorkshire Oaks and last weekends' Moyglare at the Curragh. First-time visor on now. May find a few too strong.

Bumbasina²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Billy Lee| T: W McCreery| OR: 92| C

12/1

Canford Cliffs filly has twice won this season and ran well enough in Listed Killarney race over 1m last month when 1L second of eight. This demands career-best.

Form: 116552

Dabulena¹¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: P J Smullen| T: D K Weld| OR: 95| CD

7/2

Progressive three-year-old has won her last two, including over C&D in May on good to soft, this is a much tougher ask but no surprise if she goes well on return from a break.

I'm So Fancy¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Shane Foley| T: Mrs J Harrington| OR: 93

14/1

Was 5½L in arrears of Alluringly over C&D last month, since run well in Group 3 over shorter at Tipperary, both on soft ground. Back up in trip, has something to find.

Form: 51-2474

(6)

Key To My Heart^b²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Gary Carroll| T: A P O'Brien| OR: 102

7/1

Improved showing to be close fourth in Fillies Group 3 at the Curragh late last month over this sort of trip. Should take heart from that and is not discounted as one of three for Ballydoyle in this field.

Form: 571054

Pocketfullofdreams^h²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: N G McCullagh| T: A P O'Brien| OR: 96

20/1

Third Ballydoyle runner in the line-up, only has a maiden win to her name thus far and bit to find on run behind Alluringly over C&D last month but, as with all from the yard, tough to write her off.

Form: 419557

Forecasts

Laganore (7/2), Dabulena (7/2), Alluringly (11/2), Glamorous Approach (13/2), Wilamina (7/1), Key To My Heart (7/1), Bumbasina (12/1), I'm So Fancy (14/1), Pocketfullofdreams (20/1), Ionization (33/1), Remarkable Lady (50/1)

Last month's C&D winner Alluringly can give another solida account back here while last year's runner-up in this contest Laganore is respected and likely has been aimed at this race for a while. Key To My Heart posted an improved effort last time and merits some though, while the progressive Dabulena could easily take another step forward on her return but the consistent GLAMOROUS APPROACH was somewhere near her best at Leopardstown recently and, with ground conditions to ensure this is a searching test, she can regain the winning thread now.
