G1 – 1600m – Turf

1

Magical Sunset

Has 7.5l to make up on Porta Fortuna when outclassed by the favourite in the Falmouth Stakes.

2

Mammas Girl

Long odds reflect her slim chances of playing a part in this high-class contest.

3

Rogue Millennium

Held on Falmouth Stakes form by Porta Fortuna (beaten 4 lengths). Decent third since in G1 Prix Rothschild at Deauville.

4

Fallen Angel

Irish 1000 Guineas heroine makes her return for first time since scorching home in the Curragh classic. Bought by the Wathnan Racing from Qatar since.

5

Jancis

Unraced at two. Unbeaten after two runs (both over around 1400m at Leopardstown) this year. Beat a strong field in G3 company last time out. Progressive.

6

Porta Fortuna

Versatile and high-class winner of three G1s trained by Aidan O’Brien’s son Donnacha. Built on her second in the English 1000 Guineas in style, beating Opera Singer in the Coronation Stakes, then running away with the Falmouth Stakes.

7

Soprano

Smart three-year-old. Handicap winner at Royal Ascot in June, followed up with a G3 success at Deauville.

8

Vespertilio

Narrowly beaten into third in French 1000 Guineas. Out of luck in Irish equivalent, and a French G1 since.

9

Wendla

A course and distance winner at G3 level in May, but failed to build on that in three outings since.

10

Ylang Ylang

Yet to produce the promise she showed as a two-year-old. Beaten favourite in English Oaks and unsuited by good ground when disappointing again in G3 over course and distance last month.
