Us Army Ranger³⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: D O'Brien| T: A P O'Brien| OR: 110| D

7/2

Winner on first two starts before he was runner-up in last year's Derby but disappointing since and better on faster ground. Doesn't look a straightforward type, down the order on jockey bookings and may struggle to concede a penalty to this field.

Form: 8-32038

Glamorous Approach^p¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: K J Manning| T: J S Bolger| OR: 100| D

16/1

Both her wins this year have come at the Curragh, most recently a Listed contest in June. Running well in defeat since but she doesn't always settle well and needs others to under perform to have any chance here.

Spanish Steps¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: R L Moore| T: A P O'Brien| OR: 110| CD

9/2

Got the better of his stablemate over C&D last month and deployed as a pacemaker at York last time out. Ought to do better here and this is easier but unproven on softer ground.

Cannonball³²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Colin Keane| T: G M Lyons| OR: 99

10/1

Curragh maiden winner who followed up at Roscommon last time out. Could do even better now stepping up in trip but may find this step up in class tough. Proven in soft conditions at least with rain forecast.

Exemplar^b1,t⁶¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: J A Heffernan| T: A P O'Brien| OR: 106| BF

14/1

Maiden winner at Galway last year and not disgraced in Group 2 company on final start of 2016. Well beaten on two starts this time around though and Moore prefers Spanish Steps.

Form: 213-86

(2)

Eziyra^h³²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: P J Smullen| T: D K Weld| OR: 107| D

9/10

Group 3 winner as a juvenile and while she was no match for Enable in the Irish Oaks, she produced a career best when landing a Group 3 contest at Cork last time. May not be done progressing and looks the one to beat for last year's winning trainer.

Form: 121-231

Forecasts

Eziyra (9/10), Us Army Ranger (7/2), Spanish Steps (9/2), Cannonball (10/1), Exemplar (14/1), Glamorous Approach (16/1), Massif Central (50/1)

EZIYRA was impressive when winning in soft conditions last time out, and with some rain forecast, she looks like the one to beat. Spannish Steps is better than he showed at York last time out when on pacemaking duties and ought to run well while Cannonball is progressive and is another one who is likely to enjoy any rain that falls.
