Daughter of Camelot and a half-sister to Irish Oaks winner Bracelet among others. Disappointed on debut when eighth of nine at Cork. Vast improvement needed here.

Tagula filly was a cheap acquisition as a yearling but since changed hands for €100,000 as a 2yo, created good impression with Roscommon maiden last month, before not disgraced in Group 3 Round Tower stakes at the Curragh on last start.

Had shown plenty of consistency over the summer with some solid performances, including a second in the Group 3 Flame Of Tara last month. Out of her depth last time out in the Group 1 Moyglare.

Did well to win on debut despite not enjoying a seamless trip at Dundalk, before a second-rate performance in the Group 3 Grangecon Stud stakes. This a lot easier.

Developed from a 3L defeat on debut at Newmarket to win a 7f Goodwood novice beating seven rivals by 7L. Expected to improve again and one for the shortlist.

Has put in rock-solid performances in two career starts at Cork on debut and an eye-catching third of eight in the Group 2 Debutante stakes. Yard in fine form and one expected to improve again.

Nice debut over 7f at Leopardstown earlier in the year and another solid effort at the Curragh in July, before fifth of nine last time out. Others make more appeal.

Has had a long and consistent season with some rock-solid performances including a ¾L defeat last time out at Doncaster in the Group 2 May Hill stakes.

Forecasts

Mary Tudor (15/8), Sizzling (3/1), Ballet Shoes (6/1), Juliet Foxtrot (7/1), Ball Girl (7/1), Ellthea (10/1), Fille Du Septembre (25/1), New To Town (28/1), Athena (33/1)

Verdict

The Aiden O'Brien-trained Ballet Shoes will possibly make the early running here with New To Town, Ball Girl and the selection, SIZZLING not far off the speed. Ballet Shoes and the Wille McCreery-trained, Group 2 Debutante stakes third, Mary Tudor can battle for the minors.
  1. Sizzling
  2. Mary Tudor
  3. Ballet Shoes
