7/2

Thrice-raced winner. C&D winner. 1 win from 2 runs this year. Winner here in July. 6¼ lengths sixth of 8 to Emit in listed race at Gowran (12.2f, good, 28/1) 68 days ago but not discounted in these calmer waters.

7/4

Lightly-raced winner. Career best when winning 14-runner maiden (9/2) at Punchestown (9.3f, good to soft) 16 days ago. Scored readily there so she's a likely player significantly up in trip.

Forecasts

Himalayan Heights (13/8), Snapretend (7/4), Sea Coral (7/2), Angelo Pio (5/1), Kalixa (7/1)

None of the quintet can be dismissed but Joseph O'Brien's ANGELO PIO edges the vote on the back of his good Curragh third. Punchestown scorer Snapretend heads the list of dangers with Sea Coral also well in the mix back in this less exacting company.
