Smart gelding. Won a course listed on reappearance in May. 4/5, creditable 1¼ lengths second of 6 to Earl of Tyrone in listed race at Limerick (12.5f, good) 57 days ago, running on after having to wait for a gap. Up in trip. Should go well.

6/4

Very smart dual-Irish Leger winner. Not at her very best in 3 outings this season but it's coming to her time of year now. Taken to bounce back.

Form: 614-247

Temple Of Artemis¹⁰⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Declan McDonogh| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 96

11/2

9/4, useful effort when winning 7-runner handicap at Chester (1½m, good to soft) in May. Has subsequently switched from Aidan O'Brien to Joseph O'Brien. Open to further progress.

Form: 46-31

(5)

Honeycomb¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: Wayne Lordan| T: A P O'Brien

40/1

Still a maiden after 4 starts and in theory has a lot to find at this level. Yard's excellent record in this means she can't be totally discounted, though.

Forecasts

Raise You (5/4), Search For A Song (6/4), Temple Of Artemis (11/2), Moon Daisy (11/1), Honeycomb (40/1), Seattle Creek (80/1)

SEARCH FOR A SONG tends to save her best efforts for the second half of the season and is selected to bounce back to form and set herself up nicely for another tilt at the Irish St Leger. Raise You is the obvious danger.
