Kilboy Estate Stakes (Fillies and Mares Group 2)

I'm So Fancy²²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: C O'Donoghue| T: Mrs J Harrington| OR: 104| C

7/2

Has produced back-to-back course wins in Listed company, most recently over 1m. More progress likely but it's a big ask to take on some unexposed three-year-olds in receipt of weight.

Form: 83-4311

(2)

Broadway^t¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: D O'Brien| T: A P O'Brien| OR: 99

25/1

Impressive maiden winner at Naas in May but she's disappointed in two starts since, virtually tailed off on each outing and has plenty to prove at present.

Form: 4-53100

(5)

Damselfly^t⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: W J Lee| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 100

33/1

Won a handicap at Leopardstown last year but hasn't been able to justify the step up to pattern level subsequently and well beaten at Killarney last time and likely to struggle again here up in class.

Form: 085337

Magical⁹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: R L Moore| T: A P O'Brien| OR: 111| C

5/4

Group 2 winner here over 7f as a juvenile. May have needed her comeback run in France and we almost certainly haven't seen the best of her yet. Slight suspicion she may have preferred some cut in the ground but she's the one to beat regardless.

Form: 11244-4

Sarrocchi^t³¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Wayne Lordan| T: A P O'Brien| OR: 95

11/1

Won her maiden at Leopardstown as a juvenile but hasn't kicked on in four starts this year in Group class. Down the order on jockey bookings here and needs to settle better in her races.

Form: 1-8048

September²⁶¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: J A Heffernan| T: A P O'Brien| OR: 112

3/1

Impressive when winning in Listed company at Royal Ascot as a juvenile and she was an excellent second in a Group 1 at Newmarket towards the end of the campaign. Makes her belated reappearance here and not ruled out.

Form: 114323-

(7)

Ship Of Dreams^t⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: S Foley| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 100

16/1

Yet to win since her maiden success at Dundalk. Produced a big run when placed in a Group 3 at Leopardstown in May but she hasn't really backed that up since and looks vulnerable here.

Form: 627265

Forecasts

Magical (5/4), September (3/1), I'm So Fancy (7/2), Sarrocchi (11/1), Ship Of Dreams (16/1), Broadway (25/1), Damselfly (33/1)

Ryan Moore picks MAGICAL from the Aidan O'Brien quartet and she ought to come on for her reappearance earlier in the campaign. With more progress likely this campaign and Group form in the book, she ought to prove hard to beat. September makes her first start of the season and it will be interesting what the market makes of her chances. The four-year-old I'm So Fancy arrives in good form and while she's vulnerable for win purposes, she may prove best of the remainder.
