Turret Rocks³³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: K J Manning| T: J S Bolger| OR: 105| CD

14/1

Won a C&D Group 3 here last year and back to form with a Listed win at Gowran last time out but she has plenty to find at this level. Looks up against it.

Form: 634-641

Urban Fox¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: D Tudhope| T: W J Haggas| OR: 104

9/1

Smart prospect who won on debut for this yard at Ascot before finishing a creditable fourth at the Royal Meeting last week in a Group 2 race. Suspicion she will struggle against those with the age allowance here though.

Form: 4844-14

Athena¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: D O'Brien| T: A P O'Brien| OR: 101| D

7/1

Belatedly off the mark in a maiden at Fairyhouse and outran her odds when fourth at Royal Ascot behind a useful stablemate. Clearly still learning on the job and has place claims with more progress likely but stablemate will be hard to beat.

Form: 482214

(6)

Bye Bye Baby³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: J A Heffernan| T: A P O'Brien| OR: 109| CD

5/1

Group 3 winner over C&D back in May and ran well behind Forever Together in the Epsom Oaks last time out. More progress looks likely but there's a suspicion she would have wanted some rain to arrive.

Form: 113-813

Forever Together³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: R L Moore| T: A P O'Brien| OR: 117

4/6

Ran with great promise in the Cheshire Oaks and reversed the form with her stablemate when a mightily impressive winner of the Epsom Oaks. Has the beating of Bye Bye Baby who was back in third that day on that form and she will be hard to beat here.

Form: 43-21

(4)

Harvestfortheworld³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Wayne Lordan| T: J A Stack| OR: 97

14/1

Just a Dundalk maiden win to her name from four starts. Career best effort when placed in a Group 3 over C&D last time but needs another huge step forward to trouble a few of these.

Form: 2-153

Forecasts

Forever Together (4/6), Bye Bye Baby (5/1), Athena (7/1), Urban Fox (9/1), Harvestfortheworld (14/1), Turret Rocks (14/1)

FOREVER TOGETHER could hardly have been more impressive when winning the Oaks at Epsom last time and this contest wouldn't be quite as deep as that race. Bye Bye Baby is still improving with each start while Athena wasn't disgraced at Royal Ascot and may be capable of completing a 1-2-3 for her trainer here.
