Brassica²⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: L Morris| T: Sir Mark Prescott| D

12/1

The form of her Beverley victory amounts to little but the field were strung out and she is worthy of inclusion here. Stable not known to tilt at windmills and trainer has a career success rate of 32-89 in Ireland.

Form: 41

Chynna¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Ronan Whelan| T: M R Channon| OR: 95

25/1

Peaked with a third in Goodwood's Prestige Stakes but not as good in either start since. Doubtful she is good enough to land this.

Eleganter

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: K J Manning| T: J S Bolger

66/1

Unraced sister of Sometimesadiamond whose two victories were over 6f and came in a Listed race here and a maiden on debut. This is the only Pattern race in her calendar.

Elleanthus¹²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: D O'Brien| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 88| D

20/1

Outclassed her rivals in a Galway maiden on heavy ground. The well-beaten third is rated 81 and a line through that filly matches her closely with Foxtrot Liv. Her inclusion here is justified for an in-form trainer/jockey combination.

Form: 61

Foxtrot Liv¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Billy Lee| T: P Twomey| OR: 103| BF| D

7/2

Impressive Curragh winner found the winner refusing to surrender at Leopardstown when moving up to Listed company two weeks ago. Proved she stays 7f that day and not one to dismiss lightly.

Form: 4212

Hermosa¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: R L Moore| T: A P O'Brien| OR: 105| D

5/4

Sister to Hydrangea so likely we will not see the best of her until next year. Third in the Moyglare Stud Stakes last time when staying on well from the rear. May have the class to dispose of these but would be a stronger pick over a mile.

Form: 4163

Servalan²⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Seamie Heffernan| T: Mrs J Harrington| OR: 98| C

16/1

Had the likes of Skitter Skatter, So Perfect and Moravia behind when landing a 6f Listed event here in May. Close sixth in the Queen Mary before a poor run in the Round Tower. That effort is yet to be explained and casts a shadow over her prospects.

Form: 2168

Trethias¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: C O'Donoghue| T: Mrs J Harrington| OR: 98

3/1

Impressively beat the highly regarded Pink Dogwood (7L winner since) at the Curragh. Missed the break from a poor draw in Listed company when fourth to a lesser fancied stable companion with Foxtrtot Liv in second. Yard's first string.

Form: 414

Forecasts

Hermosa (5/4), Trethias (3/1), Foxtrot Liv (7/2), Brassica (12/1), Servalan (16/1), Elleanthus (20/1), Chynna (25/1), Eleganter (66/1)

Foxtrot Liv and Trethias clashed at Leopardstown recently when there was a couple of lengths between them. The latter will be fancied to reverse the form as she was poorly drawn and the ground may have been quicker than ideal over that trip. Her stable companion, Servalan, has the strongest piece of form having disposed of two future Group winners including Skitter Scatter here in May, but this can go to Aidan O'Brien for the fourth time as HERMOSA showed she was going the right way when third in the Moyglare last time.
