1

Quadruple

Benefitted from a drop in class two starts back when scoring at the Curragh, but better (fourth of five) was expected of her last time.

2

Independent Expert

In fine fettle in the March-May period but she has since taken three backward steps. Looks up against it on current form.

3

Bella Isabella

Hasn’t reflected her G3 third on her last two starts and she will need to raise her game.

4

Mallavelly

Has done well for her current yard (three wins) this season but she was exposed at G3 level last time. Could still be in the grip of the handicapper.

5

Orchidaceae

Didn’t make the grade in Listed company (eighth) but she has a good wins-to-runs ratio (three from seven) and has since dropped 4lb in the ratings. Interesting.

6

Onemoredance

Has really blossomed this term and her four wins include two at this course. Leading contender off a career high mark.

7

Noli Timere

Is very much on the upgrade and seeks a hat-trick here. Has risen sharply in the weights but she could have more to offer.

8

Pink Oxalis

Has been on the go since January and a busy campaign has yielded three wins. Not at her best last time and a likely outsider in this grade.

9

Tachos

A course winner in June and close third off top weight (beaten favourite) on her last start. Could sneak a place.

10

Continuite

Improving filly faded in the straight last time as beaten favourite but had been building nicely before then. So, it’s not impossible that she could bounce back.

11

Letherfly

Very lightly raced (five times in three seasons). Listed placed last season, she has clearly been performing a few pounds below her best this season.

12

Plume Noire

Useful sort (four wins) who has raced just once this season when a fair fifth of 20 at the Curragh in May. However, subsequent absence is a slight concern.

13

Proxima Centauri

Is barely out of maiden class following Roscommon win in August, but likely improver off a competitive mark. Each-way chance.

14

Serialise

Hasn’t reflected early her season promise (second to a smart British customer) on her last three runs. Has fallen down the handicap and could surprise.

15

Empress Artemis

Ended a run of three consecutive seconds with Bellewstown win under a welter weight. Raised 5lb for that win and likely outsider.

16

Um Wadi

Showed fair French form and makes her Irish debut for a top stable. Looks to be on a competitive mark. Market may prove the best guide.

17

Luscious

Broke maiden at Naas in June. An easy winner on that occasion, she appeals as a potential improver.

18

Shavasi

Her form has been steadily improving (third at Tipperary) but debateable whether that will be enough in this grade. More needed.

19

Sindria

Has left one top stable for another in the wake of her maiden win here in June. Not easy to situate but betting could prove informative.

20

Anvika

Her long losing streak dates back to June 2024 and probably again looks destined for a supporting role.

Reserves

21

Aviatrice

Hasn’t won this season but has constantly been in the money. Could surprise off current mark.

22

Auburn Avenue

Still a maiden after 14 attempts and clearly up against it in this company.

23

Glory To Be

Has changed stables this season and only just touched off in a maiden at the Curragh last month. Tough task.
