Super Sox²⁹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: S Foley| T: P Twomey| OR: 100| BF

Won a Listed race at Cork (7f) last August and ran creditably in Group 3 company when fourth of 11 at the Curragh (3/1) a month later, making late headway after a slow start dropped to sprinting. Remains unexposed and of significant interest with absence no concern given her stable.

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Tom Marquand| T: W J Haggas| OR: 108| D

Won first three career starts, progressing from maiden to Group 2 level last year. Eighth of 21 in Group 1 at Ascot (33/1) 33 days ago, running better than on her return, making headway under pressure in the final furlong. Versatile regarding ground but produced her best effort on heavy.

Lady With The Lamp³³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: D McMonagle| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 102| D

Three-time Listed winner at 6f including victories at Cork and Chelmsford this spring. Wasn't up to better company when 18th of 21 in Group 1 at Ascot (33/1) 33 days ago and this a more suitable assignment.

Form: 318-110

Bonus Time^t¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: W M Lordan| T: P Twomey| OR: 92| BF| D

Won maiden at Curragh over 6f in May on second start. Finished second of 7 in handicap at Leopardstown (5/6) 13 days ago with first-time tongue strap, making running before headed late. Remains with potential and return to 6f shouldn't inconvenience.

Form: 212

Carla Ridge³³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: C D Hayes| T: E & P Harty| OR: 99| CD

Won maiden at this C&D (100/1) last September and ran well in Group 3 before finishing 17th of 21 at Royal Ascot (125/1) 33 days ago. More competitive back at this level and track.

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: J A Heffernan| T: J Feane| D

Green on debut, then won a maiden (17 runners) at the Curragh (12/1) 25 days ago, taking strong hold and winning easily. Open to further improvement but this demands a lot more.

Form: 61

(11)

Greatest Drama^p1¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: B M Coen| T: J P Murtagh| OR: 87

Won a 7f maiden last September but slowly into stride when 10th of 11 in a 5f AW handicap at Dundalk (16/1) 11 days ago. First-time cheekpieces applied.

Won maiden over this C&D on debut and third of 6 in Listed race over 5.8f at Navan (5/1) 88 days ago, finishing off well having been left with a lot to do. That puts her in the mix.

Forecasts

Sparkling Sea (10/3), Sky Majesty (4/1), Super Sox (4/1), Lady With The Lamp (5/1), Carla Ridge (8/1), Bonus Time (8/1), Charasson (16/1), Navassa Island (25/1), Bellaphina (25/1), Unexpected Issues (33/1), Greatest Drama (33/1), Little Queenie (33/1)

SUPER SOX remains unexposed and of significant interest at this level, having won a Listed race last August and placed in Group 3 company after. She can overcome a 297-day absence to score. Stablemate Bonus Time advanced her form when second at Leopardstown recently and this trip could suit, while Sky Majesty is a danger to all down in class.
