Glenroyal Hotel And Shoda Cafe Minstrel Stakes (Group 2)

Unreliable type who was a Group 1 winner in his pomp for the Gosden stable. Failed to build on his stable debut out in Meydan but bounced back to form when ¾-length second to Native Warrior in Ballycorus Stakes at Leopardstown last month. Now needs to prove he can back that up.

Most likeable veteran who landed the listed Gladness over C&D in March for the second year in succession. Produced a fine effort when runner-up over 6f in Group 2 Greenlands Stakes before winning another listed race there (6f) 3 weeks ago. Has to be taken seriously back up in trip.

Landed a Naas handicap before chasing home Diego Velazquez in this last year. Returned to action with a fine second behind Big Gossey in Gladness Stakes over C&D but failed to build on that in Ballycorus Stakes at Leopardstown last month. Best form has come in softer conditions.

Very low-mileage 4-y-o who built on an encouraging return when winning 6-runner listed race at this course (1m, good to firm, 4/1) 3 weeks ago, responding well to pressure having had the run of the race. Has first-time cheekpieces on and remains with potential.

Useful mare who's been highly tried since winning her first 2 starts. Successful twice this season in listed race at Navan in June and Brownstown Stakes at Leopardstown by ½ from Phenomenal Filly 10 days ago. No guarantee this will see her to best effect.

Won a Group 3 over this trip at Leopardstown last autumn but has come up short this season, latest in Jersey Stakes at Royal Ascot 29 days ago. Isn't too badly off at the weights against his elders this time and no surprise to see one from this yard bounce back.

Smart form to win the Group 1 Phoenix Stakes over 6f here last summer but his limitations have been exposed over 1m at the top level this season. Should do better back down in grade/trip.
