6/1

Gutsy and genuine the Sea The Stars gelding won for the fifth time in his Flat career last time out at Killarney over 1m6f. Will need things to fall right for him here to be involved.

Return Ace⁶⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: C O'Donoghue| T: J R Fanshawe| OR: 90

Well beaten in her last two starts at Haydock and Newmarket. Interesting raider but will have to improve a chunk to take a hand here.

(4)

Wild Irish Rose¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: Seamie Heffernan| T: A P O'Brien| OR: 102

2/1

Off the mark at the ninth attempt at Fairyhouse in July and followed that up with a Listed win at Leopardstown. Fifth of 10, beaten 2L last time out at Doncaster in the Group 2 May Hill and sure to have a say here from powerful yard.

Form: 311535

Forecasts

Renneti (4/5), Wild Irish Rose (2/1), Stars Over The Sea (6/1), Return Ace (16/1)

Renneti has had a fine season and will attempt to make all under winning-returning pilot Pat Smullen, but jockey-Ryan Moore will have the leader firmly in his sights and will challenge any kick from the front-runner on WILD IRISH ROSE who has a rock-solid season running at Group level over the summer.
