Selected odds by:
Group 3 winner at Maisons Laffitte last season over this trip but has proved a little hit and miss either side of that. Would need to improve if she is to take a hand here.
Two time Listed winner who scored as a two-year-old here on debut. May still be more to come this season but she needs to have come on for her Kempton effort if she is to get involved.
Still likely to be improving and she won over at Dundalk two starts back. Had previous won at Nottingham last season and perhaps went for home a little too early at Lingfield last time. She's probably better than that effort but her form looks a little below the required level for a race of this nature.
Returned to form with a hat-trick of wins in the autumn and front-running has appeared to be the making of her. Couldn't quite get her head in front over at Meydan but she returned to these shores with a promising second at Lingfield after missing the break and she could be hard to peg back if she gets an easy lead.
Unplaced on both her starts at the Meydan Carnival but fair form at pattern level in Italy and France prior to that. Will need to have improved for her winter in Dubai but that's not out the question and market support could be significant.
Won a Goodwood Listed contest but struggled in two starts after, failing to justify market support at the Curragh when last seen and recieving a 7½L beating from Somehow. Less exposed than most in here and there could be more to come but she will do well to turn the form around with that rival. Would benefit from a strong pace.
Only just touched off on her reappearance at Naas this season but came on for that effort to win at Gowran Park last week in Listed company. Looks like she is still improving and has race-fitness on her side. Holds the best form in the book and looks the one to beat despite her trainer having never won this contest.

Forecasts
Somehow (13/8), Muffri'Ha (9/2), Nezwaah (9/2), Skiffle (8/1), Aljazzi (10/1), Aim To Please (14/1), Silver Step (16/1), Rosental (16/1), Elbereth (25/1)
SOMEHOW gives the impression she is still on an upward curve and she record a maiden win in the race for her trainer, Aidan O'Brien. She wouldn't want to allow Muffri'Ha to get an easy lead and she looks capable of running well after some fair efforts in Dubai this winter. Skiffle would benefit from an strong pace that's on and she's well though of by connections, she ought to carry on improving this season.
