Beset^p³³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: J M Sheridan| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 83| D

33/1

Fairly useful filly. Latest win at Sligo in May. Creditable fifth of 12 in handicap at Chepstow (12f, good, 4/1) 33 days ago. Others make more appeal from a win point of view. Lemsairbat appears to be the stable No 1.

Form: 21-1235

Cheeky Wink^p³⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Ben Coen| T: J P Murtagh| OR: 98| D

7/2

Useful filly. Latest win at Tipperary in April. 5/1, good second of 18 in handicap at this C&D (good to soft) 39 days ago, conceding first run. Another bold show likely.

Form: 2-31422

Enfranchise⁴¹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-9| J: Nathan Crosse| T: W McCreery| OR: 102| C| D

10/1

Useful mare. Creditable third of 16 in handicap hurdle at this course (16.5f, good to soft, 16/5) 41 days ago. Solid each-way chance, for all that she well below par on her latest run in this sphere.

Form: 0-22237

Galileo Dame¹⁸⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: M P Sheehy| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 96

11/1

Useful filly. Bit below form 11½ lengths sixth of 23 to Air of Entitlement in Dawn Run Mares' Novices' Hurdle at Cheltenham (16.8f, good to soft, 9/2) 180 days ago. Off 180 days. Likely to find one or two too good.

Jetara^p¹³¹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-9| J: S T McCullagh| T: Mrs J Harrington| D

25/1

Once-raced winner on Flat. Useful winner at 24f over hurdles. 6/1, 6¾ lengths third of 11 to Teahupoo in Champion Stayers' Hurdle at Punchestown (23.5f, good to soft) when last seen in May. Shane Foley prefers Bonnie Moon, but this 7-y-o is open to improvement in this sphere and can't be ruled out.

Form: 1-

La Isla Mujeres¹⁰²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: W J Lee| T: P Twomey| OR: 101| D

9/4

Useful mare. Creditable 1½ lengths second of 8 to Goodie Two Shoes in listed race at Down Royal (16f, good to soft, 7/2). Off 102 days and down in trip here. Enters calculations.

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: D Browne McMonagle| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 98| D

14/1

Useful filly. 25/1, 25 lengths last of 10 to One Look in Rathbride Stakes at the Curragh (10f, soft) 51 days ago. Will be a threat if able to get back on track and reproduce the level form she showed in the first half of this season.

Form: 332260

Romzina^h⁷⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Chris Hayes| T: D K Weld| OR: 94

8/1

Useful filly. Creditable 2¾ lengths third of 11 to Chally Chute in listed race (5/1) at Roscommon (12.1f, good to soft) 70 days ago. Looks competitive on form. Yard also saddles Deressa.

Denim And Diamonds^t⁵⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Ronan Whelan| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 80| D

25/1

Winner at Limerick in June. Respectable fifth of 10 in handicap (3/1) at Killarney (11.4f, good to soft) 56 days ago, never nearer. Probably biting off more than she can chew at this level.

Form: 05-515

Ledecky²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Colin Keane| T: P Twomey| D

16/1

Twice-raced winner. 1 win from 2 runs this year. Won 5-runner maiden (2/5) at Tramore (12f, good to soft) 24 days ago. This represents a big step up in class, but she nevertheless needs a second look for last year's winning yard with Colin Keane booked.

Form: 51

Two For Joy^p1²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Gary Carroll| T: A P O'Brien| OR: 86

28/1

Thrice-raced winner. Won 13-runner maiden at Cork (10.4f, good, 14/1) 26 days ago, staying on well. Yard in good form. Cheekpieces on for 1st time and needs to raise her game. Island Hopping is the stable first-string.

Forecasts

La Isla Mujeres (9/4), Cheeky Wink (7/2), Island Hopping (8/1), Romzina (8/1), Enfranchise (10/1), Galileo Dame (11/1), Lemsairbat (14/1), Ledecky (16/1), Deressa (16/1), Bonnie Moon (22/1), Denim And Diamonds (25/1), Jetara (25/1), Two For Joy (28/1), Beset (33/1), Sound Of Lightning (33/1), Calrissiana (40/1)

This represents a good opportunity for ISLAND HOPPING to belatedly and deservedly add to her 2-y-o maiden success at Gowran last September. She was a solid third in the Irish Oaks on her penultimate start before going down narrowly to a progressive filly in a Group 3 at Cork. Cheeky Wink has done nothing wrong this season and she merits respect, along with La Isla Mujeres and Lemsairbat and Romzina, while the unexposed Ledecky also needs a mention.
