80/1

Fairly useful filly. Twelve runs since last win in 2021. 50/1, 16 lengths fourth of 7 to Clever And Cool in listed race at Cork (7f, heavy) 9 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time and improvement is needed.

80/1

50/1

Lightly-raced winner. 28/1, below form seventeenth of 29 in handicap at Royal Ascot (8f, good to firm) 65 days ago, not ideally placed. Cheekpieces on for 1st time. Plenty to find on form.

Clounmacon^p³²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Ben Coen| T: J P Murtagh| OR: 96| CD

13/2

Useful filly. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, career best when winning 10-runner listed race (8/1) at this C&D (soft) 32 days ago by ¾ length from Aussie Girl, driven out. Likely to be on the premises.

Form: 4-17201

Lady Tilbury¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Ronan Whelan| T: D Marnane| OR: 97

14/1

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: S Foley| T: Mrs J Harrington| OR: 107| D

10/11

Useful filly. Good 2 lengths fourth of 13 to Shaquille in Commonwealth Cup at Royal Ascot (6f, good to firm, 25/1) 65 days ago, well positioned. Sets a decent standard on that form.

Form: 132-124

Forecasts

Ocean Quest (10/11), Ocean Jewel (5/1), Aussie Girl (6/1), Clounmacon (13/2), Secret Angel (17/2), Lady Tilbury (14/1), Queen Maedbh (20/1), My Eyes Adore You (20/1), Bellaphina (50/1), Apricot Twist (80/1), Honey Sweet (80/1), Coralillo (125/1)

OCEAN QUEST looks a very solid proposition at this level on the back of her fine fourth in the Commonwealth Cup at Royal Ascot. Indeed, that was probably her best effort yet and she appears to handle pretty much all ground-types. Next on the list is Ocean Jewel, who was hot on the heels of the selection in the C&D Lacken Stakes in May and subsequently landed a Leopardstown Group 3. British raider Secret Angel is third choice ahead of Lady Tilbury.
