18/1
Smart gelding. Creditable 10¼ lengths sixth of 13 to Trueshan in Long Distance Cup at Ascot (16f, soft, 10/1) when last seen in October. This drop back in trip on debut for new yard may not be ideal.

Useful gelding. Respectable fifth of 12 in handicap (4/1) at Leopardstown (9f, good) 23 days ago. Yard having good spell, but this 4-y-o looks up against it here.

Useful filly. Didn't need to improve to win 9-runner Munster Oaks at Cork (12f, good to soft, 3/1) 17 days ago by ¾ length from Silence Please, driven out. This is more demanding.

2/1
Smart mare. Latest win at King Abdulaziz in February. 25/1, creditable length third of 8 to Helvic Dream in Tattersalls Gold Cup at this course (10.5f, heavy) 34 days ago. Has to be taken seriously.

18/1
Useful filly. Career best when winning 5-runner minor event at Gowran (9.4f, good, 4/1) 13 days ago, just holding on. This is much harder, but each-way chance for yard with a good record in this race.

9/4
Smart colt. Respectable 3¾ lengths fourth of 14 to Fire At Will in Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf (67/10) at Keeneland (8f, good) on final 2-y-o start. This stiffer test should suit and merits respect.

Useful colt. Blinkered for 1st time, well-beaten last of 13 to Poetic Flare in St James's Palace Stakes (125/1) at Royal Ascot (8f, good to firm) 11 days ago, going off too hard. Back up in trip.

Lightly-raced winner. 42 lengths last of 11 to Adayar in Derby at Epsom (12f, good to soft, 33/1) 21 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time and this is more realistic, but others preferred all the same.

Forecasts

True Self (2/1), Cadillac (9/4), Thunder Kiss (9/2), Njord (13/2), Lough Derg (10/1), Raise You (12/1), Southern Lights (14/1), Ontario (16/1), Dawn Patrol (18/1), Zawara (18/1), Finans Bay (50/1), Lunar Space (50/1)

Verdict

Effervescent globe-trotter TRUE SELF is now eight years of age, but she still appears to be progressing judged on her fine third in the Tattersalls Gold Cup here last month. Willie Mullins' charge will prove a tough nut to crack if able to at least match that form in this lower grade. The Jessica Harrington-trained duo Cadillac and Njord are taken to fill the places.
