50/1

Progressed into a useful filly last summer, winning twice. Showed up well for a long way when third in handicap at Sligo after 10 months off on return but went backwards from that effort from Naas last time. No surprise is she were to bounce back but this looks a tough assignment.

Form: 1149-34

Faiyum²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Gary Carroll| T: G M Lyons| OR: 105| BF| CD

11/8

Most progressive last year, winning 3 of her 4 starts, including this race by 7 lengths. Not as good this year but took a step back in right direction when chasing home a progressive 3-y-o in Group 3 Snow Fairy at the Curragh (9f) 3 weeks ago. Will be hard to beat if giving her running.

Form: 121-342

Hollys Graces^b³⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Billy Lee| T: H De Bromhead| OR: 92

66/1

Runner-up over C&D on last 2 starts, posting a career best when chasing home Star Performer in a listed race on latest in August. This represents a significant step up, though.

Form: 970-822

Kalixa¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Ronan Whelan| T: M O'Callaghan| OR: 86

100/1

Fairly useful filly. Ran as well as she ever has when 4½ lengths fourth of 16 to Beset in listed race at Galway last time. Out of her depth in this company, though.

Form: 1873-84

Sindria²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: J M Sheridan| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 101| CD

3/1

Impressive winner of a 1m handicap here in April before following up in C&D listed race in May. Has found life tougher since but ran creditably when 4¼ lengths third to Miss Scott in Snow Fairy Fillies Stakes at the Curragh last time. Will benefit from return to this track and must be respected.

Form: 119353

Syzygy^p²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Scott McCullagh| T: Daniel McLoughlin| OR: 95| C

80/1

Made the frame at listed and Group 3 level this season, but has been held back by slow starts on last 2 starts and faces a tough enough task as it is here without throwing that potential variable into the mix. Must improve.

Form: 362497

Caught U Sleeping^p1³⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Ben Coen| T: N Meade| OR: 102

12/1

Found improvement when winning listed race at Naas in May and run creditably in defeat since, latest when 2 lengths third of 8 to Believed in Give Thanks Stakes at Cork last time. Place claims.

Form: 881233

Classiest^b¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Wayne Lordan| T: A P O'Brien| OR: 89

80/1

Sported blinkers when making winning debut over 1m at Galway in the mud last year. Stepped up on that form when 5¾ lengths third of 7 to Star Performer in listed race at Gowran on return but ran poorly last time and has a bit to prove now.

Form: 1-30

Pollenca¹³³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Andrew Slattery| T: A Slattery| OR: 92

50/1

Left debut behind to win a 7f Curragh maiden (heavy) in March and took a step back in right direction when 5 lengths fourth of 7 to Caught U Sleeping in listed race at Naas in May. Improvement required on return from 4-month break.

Form: 4104

(2)

Saga Gaga²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Seamie Heffernan| T: M O'Callaghan| OR: 97| CD

5/1

Improved markedly from debut to win her next 2 starts, latterly in an 11.5f handicap at Killarney in July, but her progress has stalled in stakes company since, and minor honours may be the best she can hope for.

Form: 71154

(6)

Sky Watch^p²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Jamie Powell| T: M O'Callaghan| OR: 96

100/1

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 in July. Shaped as if amiss last time, though, and needs to improve on those earlier efforts to feature.

Form: 31-5330

(4)

Star Performer³⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Declan McDonogh| T: J P O'Brien| CD

7/2

Sea The Stars filly who has made a highly promising start to her career, winning both outings, including a C&D listed race last month by 4½ lengths from Hollys Graces. Open to further improvement as she steps up again in grade.

Form: 11

Forecasts

Faiyum (11/8), Sindria (3/1), Star Performer (7/2), Saga Gaga (5/1), Caught U Sleeping (12/1), Pollenca (50/1), Alice Monet (50/1), Hollys Graces (66/1), Syzygy (80/1), Classiest (80/1), Kalixa (100/1), Sky Watch (100/1)

FAIYUM won this by 7 lengths last year and will take plenty of beating if building on her second in a similar event at the Curragh 3 weeks ago. Star Performer impressed over C&D last time and rates the main danger, with further progress expected, while Sindria goes well here and can also be involved at her best.
