Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: K J Manning| T: J S Bolger| OR: 101| CD

C&D winner over 12-months ago on soft ground. Holding her own in Listed company but well held when tried at Group 2 level. Tough ask but no surprise to see her hit the frame.

Rickrack⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Shane Foley| T: Mrs J Harrington| OR: 94

Ready winner of a Curragh handicap in May but has not been disgraced at Listed and Group 3 level since, generally bumping in to one or two on the way.

Jaega⁹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Billy Lee| T: D K Weld| OR: 104| BF

6/1

Justified favouritism in a Leopardstown maiden before finishing second in a Group 3 contest at The Curragh in May. Well held as beaten favourite in the Group 3 Munster Oaks since but looks a leading contender with conditions to suit.

Form: 125

Julienne²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: N G McCullagh| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 77| D

50/1

Winner of her maiden only last month at Tipperary before going down by 14L on handicap debut at the Curragh recently. Big ask stepping up in grade.

Form: 00-215

(8)

Ship Of Dreams^b1,t¹²

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

10/3

Solid and consistent filly running at Group and Listed level over the summer who gives her all but is always liable to bump in to one of two progressing at a quicker rate.

Form: 654332

Forecasts

Ship Of Dreams (10/3), Beautiful Morning (9/2), Panstarr (5/1), Jaega (6/1), Broadway (8/1), Hence (8/1), Espere (12/1), Snowy Winter (20/1), Rickrack (20/1), Erin (40/1), Julienne (50/1)

The Dermot Weld-trained JAEGA did not appear to appreciate the good to firm conditions or the trip at Cork in June but can bounce back here on this ground and over this distance here to land the valuable Group 3 from the expected challenge of the Aidan O'Brien-trained Broadway and Joseph O'Briens interesting Ship Of Dreams in first-time blinkers
