BURFORD BEAUTY caught the eye when finishing well in a Curragh maiden last month and can benefit from the extra furlong. Out of a half-sister to an American Grade 2 winner, she was well beaten on debut but showed much more on her second start. That form looks reasonable, with the fifth-placed horse stepping forward to win easily next time. The four-year-old Spanish Princess has shown useful form in two starts, while Snapretend displayed improvement in a hood at Limerick and although she drops markedly in distance, she should compete. Pete's Dream may be suited by reverting to this distance.

Noted staying on in a 7f handicap at Galway, SUN SOLDIER has sound prospects of staying the extra distance at this sharper track.

ROMAN HARRY is drawn wide in 13, but this is an ordinary race and he has fair recent form. He has won just once previously from 29 starts but is capable both at this level and distance and ran well at Cork recently. He finished ahead of Draiocht, who is a lowly-rated 11-race maiden but can also compete. So Messi is a 22-race maiden who has some useful form this summer and although well held at Dundalk recently, seems better suited by easy turf ground.

Very open and perhaps a bit of value may be had in SO MESSI on the softening ground from a good draw
Class & Speed Card

DINAMINE has an unusual profile in that he has raced over a variety of distances, but is suited by this trip and ran well at Naas recently. While he has won just once from 44 starts, he finished a nose second over 1m5f in 2022 and, this year, has done well over much shorter distances. He finished strongly over 6f at Naas and should compete from a favourable draw. Famous Enough gained a first win at the 17th attempt at Cork, but is 10lb higher. Master Garvey is another to consider.

Slight preference is for the well-drawn DINAMINE, who should welcome the step up in trip and likely easier ground

TOFINO is a keen-goer but is progressing nicely and can defy an 8lb rise for winning at the Curragh. Out of a half-sister to a Group 3 winner, the 120,000-euro yearling purchase's initial form was ordinary but she has done well in recent months and overcame traffic to score at the Curragh. Shahada Ace won an ordinary handicap very easily at Tipperary recently and although she has been hit with a 13lb hike and now steps up in grade, she can still compete. Empress Artemis has been running consistently well and is off the same rating as when finishing second at Tipperary 18 days ago.

Recent winners Shahada Ace and Tofino demand plenty of respect, but preference is for RIZAL, who came home strongly at Galway
Class & Speed Card

SOY EL FUEGO is chanced to improve from his debut effort, when a staying on sixth in a Curragh maiden over this distance. Ger Lyons' gelding was left with a bit to do on his first run but did show some promise as he was closing all the way to the finish. Plushy took a minor step forward on her second start and a reproduction of that form may be enough to challenge the selection here. The consistent The Right One seeks to break her duck at the sixth attempt, but she appears to be held by Plushy on the evidence of their last run.

PLUSHY(nap) has the benefit of previous course experience, when third on debut despite being green and ran well at Cork since.
Class & Speed Card

ESCAPING THEJUNGLE has some questions to answer on her return but makes plenty of appeal off her current mark. Penny Mountain has her first try at this trip but she does comes into this contest as the unexposed entity and off a lightweight, she can be given a chance based on her penultimate showing. Rappell also catches the eye back at a more realistic level.

Question marks surround many so it could pay to side with top-weight BRIGID'S CLOAK, dropped in class
Class & Speed Card

STELLAR QUALITY showed major signs of inexperience when third on debut and she was never nearer than at the finish. This daughter of Wootton Bassett is sure to come on for that run and may prove hard to beat. Tswalu arguably sets the standard, however, her inability to get her head in front causes plausible doubts after being a beaten favourite on five of her six starts. Gifted had a torrid trip on debut over this course and distance, but she has to be noted.

STELLAR QUALITY was green on debut at Killarney and should have improved nicely since so can score.
Class & Speed Card

In what is a very competitive race, ZANAHIYR gains marginal preference over Light Up The Dark. With Josh Williamson taking 7lb off, this talented chaser is taken to double his tally on the Flat. The aforementioned Light Up The Dark is a dual bumper winner and took her form to a new level when third in a Galway handicap last time. The consistent Messerschmitt is also noted.

An improving type on the Flat, LIGHT UP THE DARK is up 4lb for a fine run at Galway but should be up to defying that
