9/1

Progressed into a useful filly last summer, winning twice before a good 1½-length fourth of 9 in listed race at York. However, her mark has been done no favours after that effort so she needs to be at the top of her game back from 10 months off.

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: Reese Holohan⁽⁷⁾| T: M Fahey| OR: 93| D

11/4

Produced a career best when winning at Down Royal by 6½ lengths in June but seemed undone by a hike in the weights at Galway on Friday.

15/2

Useful for Christophe Ferland in France. Made a low-key start for this yard after a year off at Dundalk but has shaped well in a couple of maiden hurdles since. Expected to do better back in this sphere.

Spanish Temptress²²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Billy Lee| T: R O'Brien| OR: 88

3/1

Better than ever this summer, resuming winning ways when making all at Limerick in June. Excellent second at Killarney 3 weeks ago, finding only an unexposed 3-y-o too good. Seems best in the mud, so rain would increase her chance.

13/8

Three-time winner in 2025 and following the same path this time around, capitalising on drop in grade to land Roscommon handicap for second year running in late June. Went very close to recording back-to-back wins at Galway on Saturday and should go well again (good second in this last year).

Forecasts

Thatwilldoso (13/8), Chica Guerrera (11/4), Spanish Temptress (3/1), Eastern Peace (9/2), Cornelienne (15/2), Alice Monet (9/1)

CORNELIENNE is potentially on a good mark on her French form so gets the vote after a couple of encouraging runs over hurdles. With rain forecast, Spanish Temptress may emerge as the biggest threat ahead of the thriving Thatwilldoso.
