Lightly-raced maiden. Good second of 15 in maiden (9/2) at this course (7f, good) 14 days ago, but more needed now stepping up in grade.

10/11

Bred in the purple and knew what was required when making all in 9-runner maiden at Naas (5.7f) on debut. Good fourth in Albany at Royal Ascot next time and more progress likely now stepping up to 7f.

Showed plenty to work on when third of 10 in 5.9f maiden at Naas (good) on debut 29 days ago, despite looking badly in need of the experience. Open to improvement.

Form: 3

Seisai³⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: S M Crosse| T: J P O'Brien| D

6/1

Didn't need to improve on debut third to Juncture to run out a cosy winner of 6-runner maiden at Gowran (7f, good) 38 days ago. Should improve further.

Form: 31

Forecasts

Prettiest (10/11), Juncture (2/1), Seisai (6/1), Agartha (16/1), Sablonne (18/1)

PRETTIEST boasts a cracking pedigree and very much appeals as the sort to do better now stepping up to 7f following a good run in the Albany Stakes at Royal Ascot, so she’s preferred to the promising Juncture, who admittedly ran out an impressive winner on her second start here in June.
