Very smart mare. Course winner. Ran below the level of her previous efforts this summer in the Nassau at Goodwood last time, though did too much too soon. The one to beat if bouncing back.

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Seamie Heffernan| T: A P O'Brien| OR: 98| BF

50/1

Won 16-runner maiden at Naas in June but proved a major let-down when 2¼ lengths last of 11 to Lemista in listed race at Gowran (9.4f, good to soft, 7/4) 86 days ago. Others preferred.

Form: 743-10

Gold Wand²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Andrea Atzeni| T: R Varian| OR: 106| D

17/2

Looked a more mature filly when winning 10-runner listed race at York (11.8f, good) 24 days ago by 1¾ lengths from Vivionn, keeping on well. Better still to come. Engaged 3.35 Longchamp Sunday.

Form: 2-1721

(6)

Lemista⁵⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Colin Keane| T: G M Lyons| OR: 104| C

12/1

On a roll, making it 4 wins on the bounce in the 8-runner Kilboy Estate Stakes (3/1) at this course (9f, good) 56 days ago by ¾ length from Lovelier. Yard in good form and open to further progress.

Form: 451-111

(10)

One Voice²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: W Buick| T: Mrs J Harrington| OR: 113| D

9/2

Smart filly who ran another fine race when 7 lengths third of 6 to Love in Yorkshire Oaks at York (11.8f, good) 24 days ago. Sure to go well again.

(3)

Thundering Nights¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Declan McDonogh| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 105| C

9/1

Useful filly. Career best when winning 8-runner Snow Fairy Fillies Stakes (7/2) at this course (9f, heavy) 16 days ago by 1½ lengths from Albigna, keeping on well. Open to further improvement.

Form: 041-211

(2)

Zawara⁴¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: O J Orr| T: D K Weld| OR: 95| D

20/1

Confirmed debut promise when winning 16-runner maiden (9/4) at Naas (10f, good to soft) 41 days ago. This is a whole lot tougher but she's very well bred and likely to improve further.

Form: 21

Forecasts

Magic Wand (9/4), Cayenne Pepper (3/1), One Voice (9/2), Gold Wand (17/2), Thundering Nights (9/1), Lemista (12/1), Bolleville (16/1), Zawara (20/1), Amma Grace (50/1), Elfin Queen (50/1), Celestial Object (100/1)

MAGIC WAND wasn't at his best in the Nassau Stakes at Goodwood last time, but she did too much too soon and is the one to beat if bouncing back to the form she showed when fourth in the Eclipse. One Voice has a solid profile and seems sure to go well again, while Thundering Nights and Gold Wand are fillies on the up so need viewing positively, also.
