Daybreak Boy²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Chris Hayes| T: H De Bromhead| OR: 89| D

14/1

Good winner over 1m4f at Fairyhouse on good, good to firm in July, before finishing seventh of 20 beaten 1½L in a bunch finish on handicap debut last month. No surprise if he plays a role here.

Form: 61-417

Rashaan³⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: W J Lee| T: C Kidd| OR: 87

14/1

Been in good heart this year, winning under both codes of racing. Now 6lb higher than for his win at Clonmel back in May. Can be forgiven his defeat at the Galway festival in July.

Form: 169-110

Zawraq²⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: P J Smullen| T: D K Weld| OR: 105

5/4

Once a highly thought-of Classic contender in 2015, has had problems and run only twice since, finishing second in Listed Leopardstown race last October, before returning to finish second of nine at Listowel last month.

Form: 11/2-2

Glamorous Approach^p²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: K J Manning| T: J S Bolger| OR: 102| D

12/1

Ground may have been the excuse last time out but the filly has had a rock-solid summer and shouldn't be underestimated here.

Form: 244636

Red Stars^h¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: N G McCullagh| T: J M Oxx| OR: 97| D

16/1

Not disgraced in two seasonal starts either side of two heavy defeats in Group company. No surprise to see her perform better in this grade.

Form: 18-4693

Cannonball²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Colin Keane| T: G M Lyons| OR: 105

3/1

Has made steady progress in a solid season including a 1L defeat last time out in the Group 3 Enterprise Stakes at Leopardstown. More to come here.

Form: 2114

Detailed²³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: Wayne Lordan| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 101| D

7/2

Progressed through the handicap ranks to run a solid race in the Group 2 Park Hill Stakes at Doncaster behind the Ralph Beckett-trained Alyssa. Will be looking to progress in this company.

Form: 212114

Forecasts

Zawraq (5/4), Cannonball (3/1), Detailed (7/2), Glamorous Approach (12/1), Daybreak Boy (14/1), Rashaan (14/1), Red Stars (16/1)

Daybreak Boy will possibly take the field along here with Rashaan and Glamorous Approach keeping tabs on the leader in the early stages. The once heavily-touted Zawraq and the Ger Lyons-trained Cannonball will be looking to improve on their season so far but a chance is taken with DETAILED who looks an improving sort and ran a gallant race last time out in the Group 2 Park Hill at Doncaster.
