Lightly-raced filly. Took step up to listed company in her stride when making it 2-2 for the season at Haydock in May. Left poorly placed following another slow start when fourth in all-weather Group 3 at Newcastle subsequently. Had looked most progressive prior to that and may get back on the up.

Notched second listed success on final start last season at Newmarket. Below that form when tenth of 12 in a blanket finish in course Group 2 before a forgivable effort (forced wide) at Ascot latest. Ready for this step back up in trip and drop in grade/booking of Oisin Murphy can only help.

Improving sort was a €125,000 purchase following maiden win for Andre Fabre. Yard has typically done a brilliant job with her, winning back-to-back listed events at Cork (1½m) and Gowran (1¾m). Has to overcome a sharper test/step up in grade to make it a 4-timer.

Strong-travelling sort. Won Hamburg Group 3/finished close third in the German Oaks for previous yard. Her stable debut fourth in a course listed race (1½m) has worked out well and finished a smart second in Munster Oaks last time. Likely player who should be every bit as effective back over 1¼m.

Comfortable winner of this race (soft) last season before close third in the Prix de l'Opera at Longchamp. Ran another cracker in Group 1 company when runner-up behind Estrange in Pretty Polly here (good to firm) 3 weeks ago. Has an excellent chance on these terms back down in grade.

Progressed to win York handicap before close third in Milan listed race last year. Plenty to find on form despite promising fourth in Kensington Palace (1m) on return, though she's a much better horse than when last tried over 1¼m and is bred to stay. Ryan Moore takes over.

Sole win in Dundalk maiden last February. Showed more than previously this season when beaten 1¾ lengths in a 6-runner listed event here (1m) last time but remains vulnerable at this level.

Off the mark in C&D maiden last autumn. Much-improved third in listed race at Gowran on return before running to a similar level when eighth of 10 in a muddling affair at Navan (9f). Probably vulnerable in a solid-looking Group 3. Hood on for first time.

Forecasts

One Look (5/6), Nyra (5/1), Dreamasar (5/1), Moody (15/2), Rhapsody (10/1), Francophone (14/1), Subsonic (50/1), Spicy Margarita (150/1)

Verdict

Last year's winner ONE LOOK has an excellent chance on these terms following her second in the Pretty Polly. Nyra has made a fine start to life with Joseph O'Brien and is feared most, while it would be no surprise to see Dreamasar get back on the up.
