Bosphorus Rose¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Billy Lee| T: P Twomey| OR: 102

8/1

Successful 4 times for Sir Mark Prescott in 2025 and built on seasonal/stable debut effort when winning listed race at Roscommon (1½m) in June. Promised more than delivered when 2 lengths fifth of 8 in Group 3 at Cork 15 days ago, but she remains of interest back down in trip.

Form: 630-315

Faiyum¹¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Colin Keane| T: G M Lyons| OR: 107| BF| D

3/1

Most progressive last year, winning 3 of her 4 starts, including Group 3 at Gowran. Shaped well when third in the same grade here (1m) on return, but failed to land the odds when fourth of 9 in listed race at Gowran (9.5f) last time. Well worth another chance with yard hitting form.

Form: 1121-34

Sindria⁶²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Declan McDonogh| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 101| D

9/1

Impressive winner of a 1m Gowran handicap on return and followed up in listed race at the same course (9.5f). Found things tough in a Group 2 subsequently but has given her running the last twice, fifth of 7 in Group 3 against the males at this course (1¼m) when last seen in June.

Form: 4-11935

Spicy Margarita³⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Leigh Roche| T: Robson Aguiar| OR: 93

200/1

Sole win came in 7f Dundalk maiden early last year. Showed more than previously this season when beaten 1¾ lengths in 6-runner listed race here (1m) in June, but has failed to beat a rival last 2 outings.

Form: 0-58487

Syzygy^p⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Ben Coen| T: Daniel McLoughlin| OR: 97| C

80/1

Won first 3 starts in handicaps last year, including twice at this course. Made the frame at listed and Group 3 level this season, before being unsuited by the way the race developed when down the field in listed race at Killarney (1m) 8 days ago. Faces tough task here, though.

Form: 336249

Thalara³⁴³

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: Andrew Slattery| T: H De Bromhead| OR: 100| D

33/1

Developed into a useful performer in 2025, gaining listed success at Killarney (1m) in August. However, was tailed off in Group 3 at Gowran next time and has been absent 11 months since.

Form: 7/33310-

Della Pace⁶⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Ronan Whelan| T: G Boughey| OR: 93

33/1

Maiden winner last year who showed improved form when making the frame in 1¼m listed races at Goodwood in May/June. Didn't find as much as seemed likely when fourth of 5 in Group 3 at Naas (10.5f) last time, but the potential for a strongly-run race here promises to suit.

Form: 15-2434

Drop Dead Gorgeous^t⁴⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: R L Moore| T: A P O'Brien| OR: 95

14/1

Looked a bright prospect first 2 starts, winning a Naas maiden before shaping best when third in Group 3 at this course (1m) in May. However, has disappointed at Group 3/listed level on last 3 outings and cheekpieces wore last time quickly discarded.

Form: 13958

Garden Party¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Wayne Lordan| T: A P O'Brien| OR: 87| BF

20/1

Runner-up to stablemates both starts last year, before returning from 10 months off to land a maiden at Cork (10.5f) 15 days ago. Remains unexposed so should still have more to offer now that she's up and running.

Form: 22-1

Meriden³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Chris Hayes| T: D Hogan| OR: 103| BF| C

11/2

Has improved in leaps and bounds this season, completing a 5-timer in listed race at Killarney (1m) last month. Seemed unsuited by the drop back to 7f when 1½ lengths second of 9 to Pivotal Attack in similar event at Galway, so looks well worth a try over this far.

Form: 111112

Miss Scott¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: C Soumillon| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 102| BF

3/1

Made it 2 wins from her first 3 starts when scoring with a bit in hand in a Newbury novice (1¼m) in July. Upped to listed level, came from much further back than the winner when second at Salisbury 17 days ago, so she can make her presence felt.

Form: 1-212

Pivotal Attack³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Gary Carroll| T: J G Murphy| OR: 103

6/1

Maiden winner at Galway last summer and ended the campaign with runner-up effort in Group 3 at this course (7f). Proved at least as good as ever when reversing Killarney form with Meriden in listed race at Galway (7f) in July. First try over this far.

Form: 62-3841

Saga Gaga³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Seamie Heffernan| T: M O'Callaghan| OR: 96| D

18/1

Left her debut effort behind when winning her next 2 starts, the second a handicap at Killarney (11.5f) in July. Failed to continue her progress when fifth of 7 in listed race at Gowran last time, though, racing too freely.

Form: 7115

Sky Watch^p⁴⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Jamie Powell| T: M O'Callaghan| OR: 96

40/1

Maiden winner at Dundalk at the third attempt last year and has taken her form up to a useful level this season, third in both the German 1000 Guineas in May and listed race at Killarney last month (beaten 3 lengths by Meriden). Has something to find in this contest.

Form: 631-533

Forecasts

Miss Scott (3/1), Faiyum (3/1), Meriden (11/2), Pivotal Attack (6/1), Bosphorus Rose (8/1), Sindria (9/1), Drop Dead Gorgeous (14/1), Saga Gaga (18/1), Garden Party (20/1), Princess Child (20/1), Della Pace (33/1), Thalara (33/1), Sky Watch (40/1), Syzygy (80/1), Spicy Margarita (200/1)

Having quickly developed into a smart performer in 2025, FAIYUM made a promising return in Group 3 at this course and can build on that effort at the second attempt with her yard amongst the winners. She gets the vote ahead of Miss Scott, who could still have more to offer, while Bosphorus Rose is another to consider.
