Holy Roman Empress⁴⁴

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

5/1

One of three representatives in this race for Aidan O'Brien. Failed to get competitive when 12th of 17 at Naas in June but in atypical fashion she will likely come on a huge amount and remains entered in the Group One Moyglare.

Know It All²⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: S Foley| T: J P Murtagh

13/2

Beaten 2½L by a smart-looking Ballydoyle newcomer on debut here when fourth of 12 last month. The sixth that day Sherpa goes in the first race here today. Should be capable of a bold bid now with more to come.

Form: 4

Meeting⁴³

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

6/1

Galileo filly out of a 1000 Guineas fourth was a rather one-paced ninth of 15 on debut here in June but with that race under her belt she is almost certain to take a sizable step forward.

Form: 9

Truth Prevails⁴⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: W J Lee| T: W McCreery

12/1

140,000gns daughter of crack sire Siyouni should come on plenty for her debut 10th of 17 at Naas in June with an extra 1f very much in her favour given her middle distance pedigree. Each-way hope now.

Alla Luna

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: K J Manning| T: J S Bolger

6/1

Newcomer by Sea The Moon a homebred of the Lanwades Stud farm of Kirsten Rausing. Half-sister to 5f 2yo/7f Listed winner Shine So Bright so could be a forward sort although stable yet to have a turf two-year-old winner this season.

Cavell

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: Wayne Lordan| T: J P O'Brien

9/1

Newcomer by top source of fast two-year-olds Kodiac cost 75,000gns as a yearling. Half-sister to three winners from 1m-1m4f two of which won at two. Market can guide on debut.

Heaven Of Heavens

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: J A Heffernan| T: A P O'Brien

5/1

Galileo newcomer out of triple Group One winner Halfway To Heaven who has already thrown two Group One winning full sisters to this filly in Magical and Rhododendron. Tough spot to start but pedigree is to die for so very tempting proposition

Sasta

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: Ronan Whelan| T: J S Bolger

20/1

Newcomer by Dawn Approach out of an unraced half-sister to decent 1m2f winner Spring Focus. Stable jockey aboard Alla Luna and in any case stable's two year-olds yet to really fire.

Rule 4 applies to all bets - deduction 20p in the pound

One Last Look¹⁵

Weight: 9-4| Age: 2

T: G M Lyons J: Colin Keane

Forecasts

One Last Look (15/8), Holy Roman Empress (5/1), Heaven Of Heavens (5/1), Alla Luna (6/1), Meeting (6/1), Know It All (13/2), Cavell (9/1), Truth Prevails (12/1), Sasta (20/1)

The lone previous winner in this contest ONE LAST LOOK can set the Ger Lyons-Colin Keane connection up perfectly for Siskin's bid for Group One glory by winning for a second time here. It would be no surprise if Holy Roman Empress left her first run well behind to push the selection close give Aidan O'Brien's two-year-olds remarkable record second time out. Blue-blood debutant Heaven Of Heavens is a very interesting newcomer.
