50/1

Useful filly. First run since leaving H-F. Devin when third of 9 in handicap (13/2) at Killarney (11.4f, good) on IRE debut 31 days ago. More needed here, though.

Bosphorus Rose⁴⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Billy Lee| T: P Twomey| OR: 103| D

5/2

Developed into a useful filly for Sir Mark Prescott Bt last season, winning 4 times. Sold for 150,000gns and improved for new yard this term, latest when winning 8-runner listed race at Roscommon (1½m, good to soft) 45 days ago. Likely player.

Form: 1630-31

Snapretend⁸³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Dylan Browne McMonagle| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 99| D

28/1

Dual winner last season and not disgraced in 3 starts this term, latest when sixth of 9 in listed race at the Curragh (1½m, good to firm) 83 days ago. More needed to play a part here, however.

Amelia Earhart^p¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: R L Moore| T: A P O'Brien| OR: 103

11/4

Took 5 goes to win a race at 2 but she looked a different proposition stepped up in trip when making a winning return in Cheshire Oaks. Not really built on that but sights lowered now so must be respected.

Form: 41-1655

9/4

Frankel filly who found improvement when excellent third of 19 in King George handicap at Royal Ascot (1½m) in June. Posted good third in listed race at Gowran (1½m, good to firm) since and remains with potential.

Forecasts

Believed (9/4), Bosphorus Rose (5/2), Amelia Earhart (11/4), Nyra (3/1), Caught U Sleeping (5/1), Cameo (12/1), Snapretend (28/1), Ankara (50/1), Ice Dancer (125/1)

BOSPHORUS ROSE has upped her game for new connections this season and had something in hand when winning a Roscommon listed race last time. She makes fair appeal. Nyra and Amelia Earhart are feared most.
