Chantez^b³²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Gary Carroll| T: G M Lyons| OR: 91

20/1

Listed winner as a 2-y-o. Without a victory since but ran well in blinkers when fourth of 6 in a 7f Leopardstown Group 3 in July. Filled the same position when beaten 3 lengths by Soul Love in 15-runner listed race over C&D last time, though didn't seem ideally suited by the drop in trip.

Form: 638-544

First Instinct⁴⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Cieren Fallon| T: W J Haggas| OR: 105| D

6/4

Good test over 5f suited when landing Group 3 at Newbury last autumn. Faced quite stiff tasks over the minimum trip first 2 starts this season, before bouncing back to her best when close second in the Summer Stakes at York (6f) last time. Major player.

Form: 410-902

Temperance^p⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Chris Hayes| T: Miss K McGivern| OR: 84| CD

66/1

Sole success came in a C&D handicap last spring. Has found things tough in a trio of listed races this season, down the field in race won by Soul Love here in July, before 3½ lengths seventh of 11 at Cork (7f) 9 days ago.

Form: 558-607

(3)

Treasure Rose^p⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Ben Coen| T: J P Murtagh| OR: 84| D

22/1

Recorded back-to-back handicap wins this summer and wasn't discredited up in grade when staying on for fifth behind Soul Love in listed race over this C&D last month. However, found things tougher in another listed contest when down the field at Cork (7f) 9 days ago.

Form: 221158

Dancing Saxon²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Declan McDonogh| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 96

8/1

Much improved this season, winning minor events on first 2 outings before a close second to Soul Love in listed event here in July. After just 5 days off, scored cosily back in handicap company at Galway (7f) and she could be in the mix up in grade.

Form: 46-1121

(6)

Focaccia¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Seamie Heffernan| T: J A Stack| OR: 78

66/1

Maiden winner at Bellewstown (5f) in July who ran well when second in minor event over C&D early this month. Not disgraced when eighth of 12 in handicap at the Curragh (5f) 2 weeks ago, racing alone stand side, though tough ask here.

Form: 717828

Havana Anna³⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Gavin Ryan| T: Donnacha O'Brien| OR: 108| CD

15/8

All 3 career victories at this course, making a winning return in the Lacken Stakes in May. Good 1¾ lengths fourth of 22 in the Commonwealth Cup at Royal Ascot, before a below-par effort in 5f Group 2 at the Curragh 5 weeks ago. No surprise to see her bounce back here.

Form: 220-147

(7)

Soul Love³²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Pierre-Louis Jamin| T: K R Burke| OR: 101| CD

3/1

Has quickly developed into a useful filly, progressing again in defeat when third in the Summer Stakes at York last month (1¼ lengths behind First Instinct in second). Resumed winning ways in 15-runner listed race here by ½ length from Dancing Saxon and she's respected.

Form: 1-19131

Forecasts

First Instinct (6/4), Havana Anna (2/1), Soul Love (9/2), Dancing Saxon (6/1), Chantez (16/1), Treasure Rose (20/1), Focaccia (33/1), Temperance (66/1)

FIRST INSTINCT benefited from the return to 6f when runner-up in the Summer Stakes at York last month, the others who made the frame all winning next time out, and she is taken to go one better for her much-respected yard. Three-time course winner Havana Anna is feared most, ahead of Soul Love who beat several of today's rivals here on her latest outing.
