Has progressed rapidly since debut at Naas in June, landing C&D maiden last month before readily wining 7½f Tipperary Listed race this month. On the upgrade and the one to beat again.

Shown some promise in trio of maidens but this looks like a very sharp step up to take and likely to struggle amongst some of these rivals.

Maiden winner over 6f here in May, since struggled in the Albany at Royal Ascot and Group 2 Debutante Stakes here over 7f. Needs to improve but that is not to be ruled out.

Galileo filly and a sister to Group 2 winner and Nassau Stakes runner-up Wedding Vow, ran fair race on debut here in a 7f maiden this month, steps up in trip and class now.

Runner-up in C&D maiden last week on debut, will have learned from that and yard are going well but this is a tough question to be posed.

Filly out of Rip Van Winkle, she didn't create a lasting impression on debut over 6f on the AW at Dundalk recently and has plenty improvement to find stepping out amongst these rivals.

Landed 6f Fairyhouse maiden in June having gone off 20/1, well held here over same trip in Group 3 contest since, now tackles the mile for the first time and has to be considered.

BALLET SHOES has looked deeply progressive in three runs so far for Ballydoyle, readily helping herself to a Listed prize at Tipperary this month. She will handle the ground here and is more than capable of this step up in class. Black Sails has been asked a couple of tough questions since winning on debut and joins Sometimesadiamond, winner of a Fairyhouse maiden in June, in having scope for doing plenty better in time. Liquid Amber is perhaps most interesting of the remainder.
