Creditable performer down the years with six Group races to his name including two Group 1 wins. Another good effort behind Washington DC, before finding the company too hot in the Group 3 City Of York stakes. Can still hit the frame.

Has produced some strong and consistent performances without winning over the summer not disgraced at Royal Ascot and in a couple of Group 2's. Genuine and could hit the frame.

Won his maiden on soft ground at the Curragh and followed that up with a Listed victory at Navan in April. Has disappointed at this level with two below-par starts here in the Lacken stakes and at the Curragh in the Phoenix.

C &D winner last time out when completing a double following a fine neck victory over Gordon Lord Byron at the Curragh in July. Progressive filly who could take a hand in the finish.

Substantial 2016 season including two Group 1 victory's. Disappointed on seasonal debut when something clearly amiss at Haydock in May. Not see since, rated 5lbs higher than her rivals here and the one to beat if ready to go on return.

Put a largely disappointing season behind her when finishing second, beaten 1L, to stable-mate Carravaggio. Questionable if the filly can repeat that run here.

Forecasts

Quiet Reflection (5/2), Downforce (3/1), Only Mine (9/2), Alphabet (13/2), Cougar Mountain (8/1), Ardhoomey (14/1), Gordon Lord Byron (14/1), Flight Risk (16/1), Peace Envoy (20/1), Khukri (25/1), Mr Scarlet (33/1)

Only Mine likes to get on with things and will give a lead to Gordon Lord Byron, Khukri and the inconsistent Alphabet who could all hit the frame. The 2016 Commonwealth Cup and Sprint Cup winner Quiet Reflection returns here and is likely to be a warm order, but her well-being can only be taken on trust. Preference is for the Wille McReery-trained DOWNFORCE who has improved 8lbs over the summer.
