Queen Aethelflaed¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: Adam Browne-Souza⁽⁷⁾| T: A Slattery| OR: 60| CD

4/1

Won this 12 months ago and built on previous promise this season when scoring at Gowran (1m) in June before shaping well at Leopardstown. Down the field next 2 starts but had excuses for a lesser run back at Gowran 19 days ago (did too much too soon). Not discounted returned to 1m.

Covert Legend^p,t¹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 10-1| J: Reese Holohan⁽⁵⁾| T: Aidan Melia| OR: 59

15/2

Boasts just the one win from 26 starts and he produced a low-key debut effort for new trainer at Fairyhouse (7f) 17 days ago. Usual cheekpieces/tongue strap quickly reapplied.

Form: 2-44800

Glamazon²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-13| J: Leigh Roche| T: P W Flynn| OR: 60

17/2

Finally off the mark in first-time cheekpieces in maiden at Ballinrobe in May. Mixed record since but responded well to first-time visor when finishing close-up third at Punchestown (9f) 23 days ago. Changed hands (9,000 gns) since and she's one of the likelier types.

Form: 849303

Princess Chloe¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: Siobhan Rutledge| T: J C McConnell| OR: 57

5/1

Maiden who has made a sound enough start for her new yard, visored first time when third of 16 in handicap at Gowran (1m, soft) 3 weeks ago, that despite not being ideally placed. Headgear discarded and likely she has a small race of this nature within her grasp.

Form: 824553

Miss Glenville^p,t²²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-8| J: Gary Carroll| T: Paul Power| OR: 52

22/1

Lightly-raced mare who confirmed she retains ability following 20 months off (equipped with cheekpieces/tongue strap) when fifth of 14 in handicap at Clonmel (1¼m, good, 50/1) 22 days ago. Feasible to think she can build on that here.

Form: 705/9-5

Elusive In Mayo³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Nicola Burns⁽⁵⁾| T: T Gibney| OR: 52

33/1

Little short-term encouragement in 3 maidens. Does now get a crack at handicaps tackling a much shorter trip but would need to see support to be of interest.

Form: 090

Chou Chou^b1²²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: Ben Coen| T: E O'Connell| OR: 48

12/1

Dual winner last summer who, having eased in weights, gave best only to a pair that were better positioned when third at Navan (1m) at the start of last month. His subsequent Clonmel display was rather underwhelming, though, and bounce back called for in new headgear.

Form: 9-90439

(8)

Prada's World⁴⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: Shane Kelly| T: N C Kelly| OR: 45

11/2

Posted her best effort when third of 16 in a Galway nursery for Christopher Timmons in 2024. However, seen only twice for current yard, always behind after 16 months off at Naas just under 7 weeks ago. Back up in trip.

Form: 0983/0-0

Aghadrum Boy³⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Gavin Ryan| T: P J F Murphy| OR: 47

40/1

Minor promise initially in maidens at around this trip this summer but easy to back and made no impact switched to a handicap at Navan 5 weeks ago.

Form: 4800

(11)

Saith Seren²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: Robbie Colgan| T: A Lee| OR: 44

7/1

Still looking for first success but posted another respectable effort when sixth of 10 in handicap at Laytown (7f) 28 days ago. Each-way claims.

Form: 4-55536

(1)

Duchess Anne²³

Age: 5| Weight: 8-13| J: Orla Tynan⁽⁷⁾| T: Mrs D Foster| OR: 43

6/1

Has responded well to positive rides this season, going close to a first win at Punchestown (9f) 23 days ago. Best efforts have come over a little further than this but she commands obvious respect nevertheless.

Form: 06-4282

(15)

Tariff¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Rory Cleary| T: Conor Maxwell| OR: 44

8/1

Still a maiden but advanced his form with ½-length third in a big-field handicap at Cork (7f, soft) on penultimate start. Not in quite the same form when sixth of 15 at Listowel since but it remains early days with him.

Form: 9-08936

Ramair⁸⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: Shay Wallace⁽⁷⁾| T: R A Foley| OR: 40

80/1

Promise in Dundalk handicaps earlier this year but gone backwards since.

Desert Swing^p1¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: Seamie Heffernan| T: A Kinirons| OR: 60

50/1

Make Believe gelding who ran to a modest level on first 2 starts in maidens and finished well held on qualifying run at the Curragh (1¼m) 12 days ago. Switch to handicaps in his favour with cheekpieces now replacing visor. RESERVE.

Queen Aethelflaed (4/1), Princess Chloe (5/1), Prada's World (11/2), Duchess Anne (6/1), Saith Seren (7/1), Covert Legend (15/2), Tariff (8/1), Glamazon (17/2), Chou Chou (12/1), Grey Intentions (14/1), Miss Glenville (22/1), Elusive In Mayo (33/1), Aghadrum Boy (40/1), Desert Swing (50/1), Ramair (80/1)

DUCHESS ANNE has responded well to positive rides this year, going closer than she ever has when finishing a neck second at Punchestown 23 days ago. She could well prove tough to peg back returned to a shorter trip and earns the vote. Glamazon also ran well on her latest outing and is feared for a new yard, with Princess Chloe and last year's winner Queen Aethelflaed others to consider.
