Georgeville^t²⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 9-10| J: Colin Keane| T: G M Lyons| OR: 107| C| D

28/1

Smart performer who signed off his 5-y-o campaign with a listed success at this track. Consistent this term but has been found wanting in pattern company plenty of times so percentage call is to look elsewhere.

Form: 1-84244

Jadoomi¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: C Soumillon| T: S & E Crisford| OR: 113| D

9/4

Returned after 9 months off with success in 9f listed race at Clairefontaine in July and took another small step forward when following up in a weak Group 2 at Goodwood a month later. Yard couldn't be in better form and he's still low mileage so is of obvious interest.

Form: 113/3-11

Raadobarg^t³⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Ben Coen| T: J P Murtagh| OR: 106| D

9/1

Smart colt who ran below form when 5¼ lengths fourth of 7 to Boundless Ocean in Desmond Stakes (4/1) at this C&D (good) last month, unable to sustain effort. Better showing anticipated with softer ground a plus but will need to raise his game to land this.

Form: 6-11844

(6)

Real Appeal^p⁵⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: S Foley| T: Mrs J Harrington| OR: 107| CD

40/1

Scored 3 times at this track last year (including in this corresponding event) but has only beaten one home in 3 starts this season. Tough to fancy.

Form: 319-555

(2)

Just Beautiful³⁶⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: W J Lee| T: P Twomey| OR: 108

9/4

Unbeaten first 4 starts and bagged her third victory of 2021 in Sceptre Stakes at Doncaster (7f) when last seen 12 months ago, showing a good attitude. Has left Ivan Furtado in the interim and this front-runner could prove tough to peg back.

Form: 1/11621-

Statement⁹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Dylan Browne McMonagle| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 97

11/1

Useful filly who was fourth of 10 in the Princess Elizabeth Stakes at Epsom (8.5f, good) on debut for Kevin Ryan when last seen in June. Looks up against it starting out for another new yard here.

Form: 83667-4

(8)

Boundless Ocean³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: K J Manning| T: J S Bolger| OR: 110| CD

3/1

Has won 3 times at this track this year, supplementing his Meld Stakes success when following up in 7-runner Desmond Stakes over C&D last month, kicking on early in the straight and always holding on. Leading player.

Form: 032611

(4)

Glounthaune¹³¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: R L Moore| T: A P O'Brien| OR: 101| C

40/1

Won Killavullan Stakes here last year but not reached that level in a couple of starts this term, failing to settle when well held in listed event at the Curragh 4 months ago. Representing top yard but a likely outsider.

Form: 1610-56

Forecasts

Jadoomi (9/4), Just Beautiful (9/4), Boundless Ocean (3/1), Raadobarg (9/1), Statement (11/1), Georgeville (28/1), Glounthaune (40/1), Real Appeal (40/1)

The Simon & Ed Crisford yard are firing on all cylinders and their JADOOMI is fancied to maintain his unbeaten record this year and bring up the hat-trick. He remains low mileage and any further rain would only enhance his chance. Second choice is Just Beautiful, who was last seen winning the Sceptre Stakes for Ivan Furtado at Doncaster 12 months ago and may prove tough to beg back if ready to roll. Recent C&D winner Boundless Ocean completes the shortlist.
