Madam Celeste⁹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: Jack Kearney| T: G M Lyons| OR: 100| CD

13/2

Useful filly. 1 win from 2 runs this year. 8/1, career best when winning 12-runner listed race at this C&D (good) by ½ length from Jancis, battling well. Off 98 days but could easily pick up where she left off.

Form: 5020-41

Naomi Lapaglia²⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: James Ryan| T: G M Lyons| OR: 103

4/1

Useful mare. Thirteen runs since last win in 2023. 9/2, 18 lengths ninth of 10 to One Look in Rathbride Stakes at the Curragh (10f, soft) 24 days ago. This is a welcome drop in grade and she's fancied to be firmly on the premises.

Form: 723-339

Soft Winds^p1²⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: S T McCullagh| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 93

25/1

Useful filly. 33/1, 10¾ lengths seventh of 10 to One Look in Rathbride Stakes at the Curragh (10f, soft) 24 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time and her merit is pretty well established.

Continuite¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Colin Keane| T: G M Lyons| OR: 90| C

5/2

Placed both starts last year and sent off 8/11, she won 10-runner maiden at this course (8f, good) 18 days ago, keeping on well. Likely to improve again up in trip given her pedigree.

Form: 32-1

(2)

Dancing Teapot^p,t²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: M P Sheehy| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 82| BF| C

14/1

Fairly useful filly. Winner here in June. 13/8, last of 4 in handicap at Leopardstown (9f, good to soft) 20 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Very hard to make a case for on these terms.

Form: 22-5104

Form: 1-25799

Tarima¹⁰⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Chris Hayes| T: D K Weld| BF

7/2

Twice-raced winner. 12¼ lengths last of 8 to Wemightakedlongway in Salsabil Stakes (7/4) at Navan (10.1f, soft), doing too much too soon. Off 109 days and can progress if settling down.

Forecasts

Continuite (5/2), Tarima (7/2), Naomi Lapaglia (4/1), Madam Celeste (13/2), Mojave River (8/1), Easy Mover (11/1), Darzina (12/1), Dancing Teapot (14/1), Soft Winds (25/1), Dawn Spirit (25/1), Sweet Chariot (33/1)

Ger Lyons has a very strong hand with arguably the 3 most interesting representatives. NAOMI LAPAGLIA takes a welcome drop in grade and that may be what's required to open her account in Ireland. Madam Celeste is second choice on form but the biggest threat may emerge in the shape of well-bred 3-y-o Continuite.
