Lispheasty¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Leigh Roche| T: S K Ryder

100/1

Born To Sea filly, related to multiple winners. Improvement needed following desperate debut run at Killarney last month. Others appear to hold sturdier claims.

Myth Creation^t²⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: D O'Brien| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 83

4/1

Placed twice from four starts in America as a two-year-old. Progressing well from race to race since joining current connections and very much looks capable of another bold show.

Form: 626-422

Bella Noelle^h1

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: O J Orr| T: E Lynam

25/1

Daughter of Slade Power out of a College Chapel mare. Half-sister to smart 5f/6f winner my girl Anna. May not be a positive to be sporting a hood on debut.

Bellakris^p¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Shane Foley| T: Mrs J Harrington| OR: 76

6/4

Has strung together a number of solid and consistent efforts since June finishing in the first two on three occasions. Overall form solid and fancied to go well at this level.

Form: 2-73222

Carefully^b⁸³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Seamie Heffernan| T: A P O'Brien| OR: 68

7/2

War Front filly out of Irish 1000 Guineas winner. Five-race maiden but continues to run well in defeat. Off the track since finishing second behind Pensylvania Avenue in May. Bold bid expected but market possibly the best guide on return to action.

Form: 00-742

(12)

Equus Minimus

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Rory Cleary| T: D A McLoughlin

50/1

Daughter of Equiano out of a Pivotal mare. Inexpensive €1,200 as a yearling. Entitled to need the race on debut and others make more appeal.

Lady Arona^p1¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: T P Madden⁽³⁾| T: Mrs J Harrington

20/1

€28,000 Big Bad Bob filly related to a 7f AW winner out of a dam who is a distant relation of Dancing Brave. Last of nine on latest start at Leopardstown over 1m1f last month. First-time cheekpieces on and hard to place any faith in.

Form: 79

(14)

Maccliff¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: A J Farragher⁽⁷⁾| T: G Hussey

66/1

Canford Cliffs filly, half-sister to a useful middle distance performer. Well held when down the field in a couple of desolate efforts so far. Likely to be of more interest as handicaps come round.

Form: 00

(16)

Make Me Sway¹²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: K J Manning| T: J S Bolger

12/1

Teofilo newcomer closely related to 6f 2yo winner Holistic Approach dam unraced granddaughter of quadruple US 1m1f Grade 1 winner Dispute. Well held on debut earlier this month but worth a market check looking at the opposition.

Form: 0

Mantequilla³³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: C D Maxwell⁽³⁾| T: G P Cromwell

100/1

Daughter of Camacho out of a Tagula mare. Well held in three career starts and not enough to be a betting proposition here and handicaps probably a better bet going forward.

Form: 089

(2)

Miss Moneybags^t⁴⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Killian Leonard| T: L Lennon

100/1

So You Think filly, cost €4,500 as a two-year-old. Dam a half-sister to a 1m1f Grade 2 winner in the US. Unlikely to be making any significant impact in this contest based on what she has shown so far.

Form: 00

Sagittarian Wind^t1⁸⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Ronan Whelan| T: M Halford

50/1

€52,000 Iffraaj filly related to multiple winners. Form in two starts has lacked any hint of ability and doesn't warrant support in this contest.

Form: 0-0

Silk Air^e/c¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Billy Lee| T: K J Condon

6/1

Acclamation filly. Half-sister to three winners. Promising effort on debut at the Curragh last month and shaped like improvement could be on the cards on her second start.

Form: 4

(7)

Smart Elle²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Colin Keane| T: J Feane

25/1

Daughter of Roderic O'Connor out of a Shinko Forest mare. Closely related to multiple winners Miracle Of Medinah and Misu Pete. Looks a long term prospect based on debut run at Roscommon last month.

Form: 7

(15)

X' Girl²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: N G McCullagh| T: J M Oxx

33/1

Xtension filly who offers mixed messages from pedigree. Failed to build on promising debut last month and easily passed over in this contest.

Form: 54

T: H De Bromhead J: Chris Hayes

Forecasts

Bellakris (6/4), Carefully (7/2), Myth Creation (4/1), Angel's Amy (4/1), Silk Air (6/1), Royal Highness (10/1), Make Me Sway (12/1), Lady Arona (20/1), Bella Noelle (25/1), Smart Elle (25/1), X' Girl (33/1), Sagittarian Wind (50/1), Equus Minimus (50/1), Maccliff (66/1), Miss Moneybags (100/1), Mantequilla (100/1), Lispheasty (100/1)

Could be a tight call in the finale' with triple runner-up, Angel's Amy, the Aidan O'Brien-trained, Carefully and Tipperary second, Royal Highness for the Henry De Bromhead yard all expected to be involved at the business end of proceedings. But the bird may have flown as the Jessica Harrington-trained BELLAKRIS the daughter of Scat Daddy who has shown plenty of zip in her previous starts lands the closing race of the evening.
