Fleur De Chine^v⁵¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Shane Foley| T: Mrs J Harrington| OR: 95| CD

40/1

Fairly useful filly. C&D winner. 20/1 and visored for 1st time, 5½ lengths eighth of 12 to Tropical Island in listed race at Galway (7f, good to soft) 51 days ago, merely closing up late. Uphill task.

Form: 328-848

(14)

Higher Leaves^h⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Gary Carroll| T: H De Bromhead| OR: 103

6/1

Useful filly. Hooded for 1st time, unseated rider in Blandford Stakes (22/1) at the Curragh (10f, good to soft) 6 days ago won by Barnavara. Merits consideration. Yard also saddles Thalara and Offshore Bay.

Form: 31-665U

Lady Lunette^p⁴⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Ben Coen| T: R P Cody| OR: 92| C| D

50/1

Useful mare. Course winner. 9/1, career best when winning 6-runner handicap at Sligo (10.6f, good to soft) 45 days ago, getting first run. This is more demanding.

Form: 036201

(9)

Lemsairbat¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: J M Sheridan| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 98

22/1

Useful filly. Respectable 4¾ lengths fourth of 15 to La Isla Mujeres in listed race (14/1) at Galway (12f, good to soft) 11 days ago. Back down in trip. One of 2 (the other being And So To Bed) for the yard responsible for the winner of this race in 2023 and last year.

Form: 322604

(5)

Purple Lily^v1⁸¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Billy Lee| T: P Twomey| OR: 107| BF

5/1

Useful filly. 13¼ lengths seventh of 11 to Chally Chute in listed race at Roscommon (12.1f, good to soft, 11/10) 81 days ago. Clearly wasn't 100% that day and, now dropped in trip with a first-time visor enlisted, she could have a big part to play.

Form: 12533-7

(7)

Thalara²⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Andrew Slattery| T: H De Bromhead| OR: 101| CD

8/1

Useful mare. C&D winner. Career best when winning 9-runner listed race (6/1) at Killarney (8.1f, good) 29 days ago by 2¾ lengths from Duckadilly, keeping on well. Can make presence felt.

Form: 17-3331

(11)

Zora⁹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Nathan Crosse| T: Mrs J Harrington| OR: 92

50/1

Useful filly. Well-beaten last of 8 to Best Lightning in Grosser Preis der Wirtschaft at Dortmund (9f, good to firm, 85/10) 90 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Andreas Suborics and she's probably best watched.

Form: 30-2028

(4)

And So To Bed^t²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: G P Halpin| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 89

66/1

Fairly useful filly. 33/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, 18 lengths sixth of 7 to Red Letter in Snow Fairy Fillies Stakes at the Curragh (9f, good) 21 days ago. Likely to come up short once more.

Form: 2-02356

(12)

Deressa^v1⁵⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Chris Hayes| T: D K Weld| OR: 93| CD

18/1

Fairly useful filly. C&D winner. Creditable 2¾ lengths fourth of 8 to Emit in listed race (9/1) at this course (12.2f, good) 56 days ago, not ideally placed. Back down in trip and visor on 1st time. Needs to raise her game.

Form: 54-1164

(3)

Easy Mover^p,t²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Wayne Lordan| T: A P O'Brien| OR: 94

33/1

Useful filly. 25/1, 25 lengths last of 7 to Red Letter in Snow Fairy Fillies Stakes at the Curragh (9f, good) 21 days ago, missing break. More needed if she's to emerge on top. Yard also fields Sweet Chariot.

Form: 986347

(1)

Faiyum⁸⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Colin Keane| T: G M Lyons| OR: 99| BF

5/6

Thrice-raced winner. 10/11, 1¼ lengths second of 9 to Barnavara in Blue Wind Stakes at Naas (10.4f, good) 87 days ago, clear of rest. Open to improvement for top connections and she's a serious player.

Form: 112

(13)

Offshore Bay⁹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Seamie Heffernan| T: H De Bromhead| OR: 85| CD

33/1

Thrice-raced winner. 1 win from 3 runs this year. Won 8-runner maiden (10/3) at this C&D (good to soft), keeping on well. Remains open to improvement, but this represents a significant step up in class.

Form: 741

(2)

She's A Nation⁸⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Luke McAteer| T: Rory Devine

12/1

Easy winner of a 14-runner maiden at the Curragh (8f, good, 25/1) on debut in June. Open to progress, but may well be biting off more than she can chew upped to this level, at this stage of her career.

Form: 1

(10)

Sweet Chariot^b²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Ronan Whelan| T: A P O'Brien| OR: 84

100/1

Fairly useful filly. 9¾ lengths ninth of 10 to Princess Child in Fairy Bridge Stakes (66/1) at Tipperary (7.5f, good to soft) 20 days ago. Back up in trip and looks set for another struggle.

Form: 579989

Forecasts

Faiyum (5/6), Purple Lily (5/1), Higher Leaves (6/1), Thalara (8/1), She's A Nation (12/1), Deressa (18/1), Lemsairbat (22/1), Offshore Bay (33/1), Easy Mover (33/1), Fleur De Chine (40/1), Zora (50/1), Lady Lunette (50/1), And So To Bed (66/1), Sweet Chariot (100/1)

FAIYUM is bred to be useful and is well on the way to living up to her pedigree, having won her first two starts before chasing home Barnavara in the Blue Wind Stakes at Naas in June. That form looks all the better in light of the winner's recent Group 2 success and, with the promise of better to come, Faiyum is taken to resume winning ways here. Purple Lily failed to fire on her reappearance at Roscommon, but will be a big threat if able to get back on track. Higher Leaves is third choice.
