Across Da Universe¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Gary Carroll| T: W P Browne| OR: 94| D

11/2

Got back on track to make it 2 wins from just the 3 starts when landing 11-runner minor event (8/11) at Naas (5.9f, good) 2 weeks ago, kept up to work. Open to further progress so not taken lightly.

Form: 141

25/1

Blinkered for 1st time, improved further when won 14-runner maiden at Fairyhouse (6f, good, 10/3) 10 days ago, leading 2f out and always holding on. This represents a big step up in class.

Form: 521

Do It With Style²¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Gavin Ryan| T: Donnacha O'Brien| CD

14/1

C&D winner in May. Shaped better than the distance beaten suggested when 5½ lengths fourth of 7 to Matrika in Airlie Stud Stakes at this course (6f, good, 14/1) 3 weeks ago, showing a lot of speed before running out of steam late.

Form: 104

Gaenari^h¹⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Leigh Roche| T: D Dias| OR: 93

14/1

Came on plenty for debut 6 weeks earlier upped in grade when neck second of 8 to Son of Corballis in listed race (8/1) at Tipperary (5f, good) 17 days ago. Back up in trip and likely to find a few too strong.

Form: 22

Gunzburg¹⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Billy Lee| T: P Twomey| OR: 98

17/2

Maiden winner on second start and excellent 1¾ lengths second of 7 to Matrika in Airlie Stud Stakes here (6f, good) earlier this month. Probably found the run coming too soon at Tipperary 4 days later and can get back on track.

Form: 4126

Kairyu²⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Colin Keane| T: M O'Callaghan

4/1

Kuroshio filly who won 16-runner maiden (9/4) at Naas (5f, good to firm) on debut 24 days ago, quickening to lead approaching final 1f and soon clear. Up in trip. Open to progress.

Form: 1

Pearls And Rubies²⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: R L Moore| T: A P O'Brien| BF

10/11

Made a winning start at Navan last month and ran well for all she strictly speaking didn't improve much less than 2 weeks on from her debut when head second of 16 to Snellen in Chesham Stakes (7/4) at Royal Ascot (7f, good to firm) 4 weeks ago. Likely to do better still.

Form: 12

She's Quality²²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Chris Hayes| T: J Davison

33/1

40/1, produced a promising first effort when third of 12 in maiden at this course (7f, good) on debut 22 days ago. Fancied to take a step forward but this a tough ask on just her second outing.

Form: 3

Forecasts

Pearls And Rubies (10/11), Kairyu (4/1), Across Da Universe (11/2), Gunzburg (17/2), Do It With Style (14/1), Gaenari (14/1), The Caribbean (25/1), She's Quality (33/1)

GUNZBURG showed much improved form when runner-up in the Airlie Stud Stakes here earlier this month and probably found the race coming too soon when down the field in a listed event at Tipperary 4 days later. She could be worth chancing over Pearls And Rubies, who is bound to be popular after her Chesham near-miss. The once-raced Kairyu and Buyin Buyin can fight out third spot.
