Verdict

Only a handful of these make any serious appeal in this opening maiden and SHODA is selected to make a winning return for the in-form Joseph O'Brien yard. She'll need to settle better than when last seen but is bred to stay and can get the better of Mr Hollywood, who confirmed himself a smart Flat performer at Royal Ascot and is open to plenty of improvement back hurdling. Al Arrivee, Jeroboam Machin and De Jour En Jour round off the shortlist.

  1. SHODA (IRE)
  2. MR HOLLYWOOD (IRE)
  3. AL ARRIVEE (FR)
