13:30 Curragh Maiden 7f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	4 1st (4) (1.25/1 +23%) Henry Longfellow	1.25 1.25/1(+23%)	(4) Henry Longfellow 1.25/1, Foaled January 28. Dubawi colt. Dam, high-class performer up to 1½m (successful in 7 Group 1s, including 1000 Guineas and Oaks, also 2-y-o 6f-1m winner), sister to very smart 1m winner Tuesday. One to note on debut and appears to be stable's first string. Superb pedigree, second foal out of the brilliant Minding, Ryan Moore aboard.
2	8 2nd (8) (1.62/1 +28%) Mythology	1.62 1.62/1(+28%)	(8) Mythology 1.62/1, Posted encouraging third of 8 in minor event over C&D on debut last month. Found company too hot in Railway Stakes here since but will appreciate the step up in trip and remains open to improvement. First maiden run for a colt who has kept good company on his first two starts, interesting.
3	7 3rd (7) (6.5/1 +54%) Master Of The Hunt	6.5 6.5/1(+54%)	(7) Master Of The Hunt 6.5/1, Foaled April 19. 230,000 gns yearling, No Nay Never colt. Half-brother to 2-y-o 7f winner Drafted. Dam, French/US 1m-1¼m winner, half-sister to useful French 1¼m winner Winter Reprise. One for shortlist on debut given connections. Cost 230,000gns, half-brother to a 7f winner AW nursery winner, apparent second-string.
4	9 4th (9) (5.5/1 -57%) Ocean Conquest	5.5 5.5/1(-57%)	(9) Ocean Conquest 5.5/1, Foaled February 26. 67,000 gns foal, 200,000 gns 2-y-o, Time Test colt. Half-brother to 1½m winner Persistence and 1m winner Zoffany Street. Interesting newcomer. Bought for 200,000gns in May, middle-distance pedigree, positive jockey booking.
5th	2 5th (2) (28/1 -12%) Cool Dan	28 28/1(-12%)	(2) Cool Dan 28/1, Once-raced colt. Seventh of 11 in minor event (8/1) at Naas (5.9f, good) on debut 14 days ago. Entitled to build on that. Faded in 6f maiden on debut, stable jockey Colin Keane deserts him to take an outside ride.
6th	1 6th (1) (50/1 +24%) Avatar Jet	50 50/1(+24%)	(1) Avatar Jet 50/1, Foaled April 4. Belardo colt. Half-brother to 7f-11f winner Wonder Starelzaam. Dam 2-y-o 7f winner. Half-brother to a winner of five races, dam won over this trip as a juvenile.
7th	10 7th (10) (40/1 +20%) Ringside Timing	40 40/1(+20%)	(10) Ringside Timing 40/1, Foaled April 5. Dawn Approach gelding. Dam 7f-1½m winner. Stable having good spell. Market check advised on debut. Dam Ringside Humour won eight races, trainer yet to have a juvenile winner this season.
8th	3 8th (3) (100/1 -100%) Count Von Browne	100 100/1(-100%)	(3) Count Von Browne 100/1, Once-raced gelding. 50/1, fifteenth of 18 in maiden at this course (6f, good) on debut 22 days ago, not knocked about. Slowly away and failed to make his presence felt over 6f at this venue on his debut.
9th	6 9th (6) (100/1 -52%) Koniag	100 100/1(-52%)	(6) Koniag 100/1, Once-raced colt. Tongue strap on cheekpieces on, eleventh of 13 in maiden (50/1) at this C&D (good) on debut 21 days ago. Finished one place behind King Of Gosford in race won by City Of Troy here three weeks ago.

LTO Selection:

Trainer Aidan O'Brien triumphed in this contest last year and he can repeat the dose with newcomer HENRY LONGFELLOW, a colt bred in the purple being a son of multiple Group 1 winner Minding. He may well need further in time, but the two-year-old may have enough pace on this occasion to see off the likes of stablemate Master Of The Hunt and Mythology, who drops in class having performed with credit in the Railway Stakes. Ocean Conquest and Versatile are other newcomers to consider.

There should be more to come from MYTHOLOGY, who was rather run off his feet in Group 2 company last time. This stiffer test of stamina will suit and he can open his account. There are plenty of interesting newcomers on show including the Aidan O'Brien pair, Henry Longfellow and Master of The Hunt. They may provide the chief threat.

The experience gained by MYTHOLOGY in two races could prove crucial in a likely duel with Henry Longfollow

13:30 Curragh Maiden 7f PREDICTION SIMULATION

14:00 Curragh Group 3 6f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	6 1st (6) (4/1 +33%) Kairyu	4 4/1(+33%)	(6) Kairyu 4/1, Kuroshio filly who won 16-runner maiden (9/4) at Naas (5f, good to firm) on debut 24 days ago, quickening to lead approaching final 1f and soon clear. Up in trip. Open to progress. Ran a bit green but looked potentially a stakes-class filly when winning on debut at Naas.
2	7 2nd (7) (0.91/1 +9%) Pearls And Rubies	0.91 0.91/1(+9%)	(7) Pearls And Rubies 0.91/1, Made a winning start at Navan last month and ran well for all she strictly speaking didn't improve much less than 2 weeks on from her debut when head second of 16 to Snellen in Chesham Stakes (7/4) at Royal Ascot (7f, good to firm) 4 weeks ago. Likely to do better still. Second in 7f Chesham Stakes, sets the standard and should get away with the shorter trip.
3	3 3rd (3) (14/1 +44%) Do It With Style	14 14/1(+44%)	(3) Do It With Style 14/1, C&D winner in May. Shaped better than the distance beaten suggested when 5½ lengths fourth of 7 to Matrika in Airlie Stud Stakes at this course (6f, good, 14/1) 3 weeks ago, showing a lot of speed before running out of steam late. Behind Gunzburg in an unsatisfactory Group 2 event on latest, best of three in her group.
4	8 4th (8) (33/1 -32%) She's Quality	33 33/1(-32%)	(8) She's Quality 33/1, 40/1, produced a promising first effort when third of 12 in maiden at this course (7f, good) on debut 22 days ago. Fancied to take a step forward but this a tough ask on just her second outing. Made a bright start to her career in a 7f maiden at this venue but this looks demanding.
5th	5 5th (5) (8.5/1 +6%) Gunzburg	8.5 8.5/1(+6%)	(5) Gunzburg 8.5/1, Maiden winner on second start and excellent 1¾ lengths second of 7 to Matrika in Airlie Stud Stakes here (6f, good) earlier this month. Probably found the run coming too soon at Tipperary 4 days later and can get back on track. Group 2 second over 6f at this venue, Tipperary 5f Listed run may have come too soon.
6th	4 6th (4) (14/1 -100%) Gaenari	14 14/1(-100%)	(4) Gaenari 14/1, Came on plenty for debut 6 weeks earlier upped in grade when neck second of 8 to Son of Corballis in listed race (8/1) at Tipperary (5f, good) 17 days ago. Back up in trip and likely to find a few too strong. Went close in 5f Listed event at Tipperary, in front of below-par Gunzburg then.
7th	1 7th (1) (5.5/1 +15%) Buyin Buyin	5.5 5.5/1(+15%)	(1) Buyin Buyin 5.5/1, Got back on track to make it 2 wins from just the 3 starts when landing 11-runner minor event (8/11) at Naas (5.9f, good) 2 weeks ago, kept up to work. Open to further progress so not taken lightly. Landed the odds in a Naas 6f event after finishing fourth of six in Group 3 Marble Hill.
8th	2 8th (2) (25/1 +0%) The Caribbean	25 25/1(+0%)	(2) The Caribbean 25/1, Blinkered for 1st time, improved further when won 14-runner maiden at Fairyhouse (6f, good, 10/3) 10 days ago, leading 2f out and always holding on. This represents a big step up in class. 85-rated Fairyhouse maiden winner, not in the same league as stablemate Pearls And Rubies.

LTO Selection:

A fairly open contest in which PEARLS AND RUBIES gets the vote. Only narrowly denied in the Chesham at Royal Ascot last month, she shaped as though this shorter stamina test won't inconvenience her and looks the one to beat. Gunzburg is her biggest danger back up in distance following a fair effort in Listed company at Tipperary earlier this month. She finished a close-up second in Group 2 company before that, while Gaenari adds further spice to the race.

GUNZBURG showed much improved form when runner-up in the Airlie Stud Stakes here earlier this month and probably found the race coming too soon when down the field in a listed event at Tipperary 4 days later. She could be worth chancing over Pearls And Rubies, who is bound to be popular after her Chesham near-miss. The once-raced Kairyu and Buyin Buyin can fight out third spot.

The Chesham second PEARLS AND RUBIES was able to win over 5f on her debut. Even though she needed every yard, this trip should be fine

14:00 Curragh Group 3 6f PREDICTION SIMULATION

14:35 Curragh Handicap 6f - 20 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	7 1st (7) (7/1 +30%) Strike Red	7 7/1(+30%)	(7) Strike Red 7/1, Creditable second of 6 in handicap (4/1) at Ripon (6f, good to firm) 30 days ago. Won twice over 6f last autumn, second at Ripon last month good enough to suggest a big run.
2	13 2nd (13) (4.5/1 +68%) Aussie Girl	4.5 4.5/1(+68%)	(13) Aussie Girl 4.5/1, 5/2, career best when winning 11-runner handicap at this course (7f, good to firm) 20 days ago. Notably consistent filly, up 7lb for front-running course win over 7f, same claimer now.
3	9 3rd (9) (16/1 +20%) Laugh A Minute	16 16/1(+20%)	(9) Laugh A Minute 16/1, Course winner. Latest win here in March. Below form tenth of 16 in handicap (10/1) at this course (5f, good to firm) 20 days ago, merely closing up late. Back up in trip. Can make presence felt. Not one of his best efforts over 5f here last time, capable of better over this trip.
4	18 4th (18) (7/1 +22%) No More Porter	7 7/1(+22%)	(18) No More Porter 7/1, C&D winner. Fourteen runs since last win in 2021. Respectable seventh of 18 in handicap at this course (8f, good to firm, 10/1) 20 days ago. Back down in trip. Others more persuasive. Third in this race last year, decent form this term over further than this, 2lb wrong.
5th	21 5th (21) (12/1 +40%) Heavenly Power	12 12/1(+40%)	(21) Heavenly Power 12/1, C&D winner. 7/1, bit below form 2¾ lengths fifth of 13 to Coumshingaun in handicap at this course (6f, good) 21 days ago. Difficult ask. Has shown his best form at this venue, faces a stern test from 8lb out of the handicap.
6th	20 6th (20) (66/1 +0%) Pinar Del Rio	66 66/1(+0%)	(20) Pinar Del Rio 66/1, C&D winner. 40/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, first run since leaving P. Twomey when fourth of 9 in handicap at Limerick (7f, good) 28 days ago. Easy to look elsewhere. Should be better for last month's reappearance but has to compete with a 6lb disadvantage.
7th	4 7th (4) (7/1 -40%) Albasheer	7 7/1(-40%)	(4) Albasheer 7/1, 33/1 and blinkered for 1st time, eleventh of 27 in handicap at Royal Ascot (6f, good to firm) 28 days ago, finishing with running left. Has good chance on pick of form. Former smart juvenile, only six races since then, found 6f too sharp in the Wokingham.
8th	6 8th (6) (16/1 -14%) Verhoyen	16 16/1(-14%)	(6) Verhoyen 16/1, Six-time course winner. Career best when winning 18-runner handicap at this course (7f, good, 12/1) 22 days ago, keeping on well. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals. Two 7f wins at this venue this season, this trip is possibly too short for him these days.
9th	2 9th (2) (20/1 -82%) Big Gossey	20 20/1(-82%)	(2) Big Gossey 20/1, C&D winner. 9/1, very good fourth of 16 in handicap at this course (5f, good to firm) 20 days ago. Back up in trip. Others more persuasive. Boasts a decent record at this venue, has produced solid displays on his last two visits.
10th	8 10th (8) (16/1 +0%) Gustavus Weston	16 16/1(+0%)	(8) Gustavus Weston 16/1, 3-time C&D winner. 20/1, 6¼ lengths seventh of 10 to Commanche Falls in listed race at this course (6f, good to firm) 20 days ago. Trainer going well. Needs a couple of these to falter. Has won three Group races at this venue but no wins since 2021, apparently in decline.
11th	17 11th (17) (50/1 -100%) Mehman	50 50/1(-100%)	(17) Mehman 50/1, 2 wins from 4 runs this year. First run since leaving G. O'Leary when twelfth of 16 in handicap at this course (5f, good to firm, 20/1) 20 days ago. Up in trip. Enters calculations. Improved on AW over the winter, winning twice over 5f, probably not as effective on turf.
12th	11 12th (11) (22/1 -10%) Hispanic	22 22/1(-10%)	(11) Hispanic 22/1, Course winner. 14/1, thirteenth of 16 in handicap at this course (5f, good to firm) 20 days ago. Back up in trip. 5f course maiden winner at two, has lacked the pace to be effective over 5f this season.
13th	19 13th (19) (12/1 +25%) Coumshingaun	12 12/1(+25%)	(19) Coumshingaun 12/1, 9/2, won 13-runner handicap at this course (6f, good) 21 days ago by nose from Dandyville, all out. Others have achieved more. Consistent lately, up 6lb for course win on latest but still 3lb out of the handicap.
14th	1 14th (1) (28/1 +0%) Coachello	28 28/1(+0%)	(1) Coachello 28/1, Latest win at Meydan in January. Creditable fourth of 9 in handicap at Newcastle (6f, 9/1) 21 days ago, having run of race. Listed 6f winner in Dubai in January, faces tough task off this rating, claim will help.
15th	15 15th (15) (20/1 +39%) Big Baby Bull	20 20/1(+39%)	(15) Big Baby Bull 20/1, Course winner. Latest win at Limerick in June. 7/1, good second of 10 in handicap at Fairyhouse (7f, good) 10 days ago. Trainer going well. Should continue to give a good account. Twice successful in claiming races this season, solid handicap form too but over further.
16th	14 16th (14) (22/1 +12%) Gypsy Woman	22 22/1(+12%)	(14) Gypsy Woman 22/1, Lightly-raced winner. 4/5, career best when winning 11-runner maiden at Roscommon (7.3f, good to soft) 18 days ago, staying on well. Yard in good form. Makes handicap debut. On the upgrade recently. Maiden winner over an extended 7f, relatively unexposed but shorter trip is a concern.
17th	12 17th (12) (40/1 -100%) Blairmayne	40 40/1(-100%)	(12) Blairmayne 40/1, C&D winner. 1 win from 2 runs this year. Latest win at Naas in April. Creditable third of 19 in handicap at Cork (7f, soft, 16/1) 78 days ago. Looks competitive on form. Two wins and eight places from 25 Curragh visits, veteran retains ability and enthusiasm.
18th	3 18th (3) (11/1 +8%) Hurricane Ivor	11 11/1(+8%)	(3) Hurricane Ivor 11/1, C&D winner. Latest win here in April. Twenty second of 27 in handicap at Royal Ascot (6f, good to firm, 33/1) 28 days ago. Not taken lightly. Won Portland Handicap in 2021, in rear in the Wokingham, fair chance on overall 2023 form.
19th	16 19th (16) (16/1 +60%) Furnace Creek	16 16/1(+60%)	(16) Furnace Creek 16/1, Latest win at Limerick in June. Creditable fourth of 10 in handicap at Fairyhouse (7f, good, 9/2) 10 days ago. Has work to do. Last two runs have been over 7f, this trip possibly suits better, 2lb out of the handicap.
20th	5 20th (5) (28/1 -75%) Master Matt	28 28/1(-75%)	(5) Master Matt 28/1, Course winner. Latest win at Fairyhouse in June. 18/1, good second of 16 in handicap at this course (5f, good to firm) 20 days ago. Back up in trip. Yard having good spell. Needs consideration. Listed 5f winner in 2021, every chance on the form of his last three handicap starts.

LTO Selection:

BIG GOSSEY may be 9lb higher than when he was a close second in this race last year, but he has flourished since and makes strong appeal in his bid to go one place better than 12 months ago. His fourth-placed finish in the Rockingham 20 days ago puts him firmly in the picture and, with the additional yardage not expected to be an issue, he can defy a 2lb rise to score here. However, there are dangers aplenty, with Hurricane Ivor, Verhoyen and Rockingham second Master Matt all live dangers.

A typically competitive renewal of this valuable handicap, which can go the way of ALBASHEER. He shaped better than his finishing position would suggest on his belated handicap debut in the Wokingham at Royal Ascot and is lurking on a potentially handy mark. Blairmayne was in good form during the spring and he could be involved in the finish, along with Strike Red. Others to consider include Big Gossey and Master Matt.

It may be worth taking a chance with HISPANIC, who looked useful on soft ground at two and has found 5f inadequate in three 2023 starts

14:35 Curragh Handicap 6f PREDICTION SIMULATION

15:10 Curragh Group 2 5f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	1 1st (1) (1.2/1 +20%) Art Power	1.2 1.2/1(+20%)	(1) Art Power 1.2/1, Smart gelding who maintained his unbeaten record at this course with a dominant display in the Greenlands Stakes in May. Well held at Royal Ascot but wasted no time getting back to form when fourth of 8 to Shaquille in July Cup at Newmarket (6f, good to soft) last week. Leading contender. Has gained all four Group wins in Ireland, another on the cards following July Cup fourth.
2	2 2nd (2) (6/1 -50%) Go Athletico	6 6/1(-50%)	(2) Go Athletico 6/1, Better than ever this year, landing listed events at Deauville and Cork. Looks sure to go well in his hat-trick bid. Smart sprinter in France, gave Ano Syra 8lb and a 2l beating on Irish debut, respected.
3	3 3rd (3) (10/1 +0%) Moss Tucker	10 10/1(+0%)	(3) Moss Tucker 10/1, Produced a career best when making all in a listed event at Naas in April. Rare poor effort in Greenlands Stakes here last time and expected to bounce back. Second to Ladies Church at Naas, below best in 6f Greenlands Stakes won Art Power.
4	5 4th (5) (3/1 +40%) Ladies Church	3 3/1(+40%)	(5) Ladies Church 3/1, Smart filly who proved very willing when landing this race in 2022. Produced a career best in first-time cheekpieces to open her account for the year in 10-runner listed race at Naas (5f, good to firm) 62 days ago and has leading claims on that form. 12-1 winner of this race last year, smart form again when 3l Naas winner from Moss Tucker.
5th	6 5th (6) (7/1 -17%) White Lavender	7 7/1(-17%)	(6) White Lavender 7/1, Smart mare who put a disappointing reappearance behind when winning 7-runner Prix de Saint-Georges at Longchamp (5f, good to soft) 69 days ago by 1½ lengths from Perdika. Much respected. Second in last year's Abbaye, back to form when landing 5f Group 3 at Longchamp in May.
6th	4 6th (4) (16/1 +43%) Ano Syra	16 16/1(+43%)	(4) Ano Syra 16/1, Useful filly. C&D winner. Respectable 2 lengths second of 6 in listed race (2/1) at Cork (5f, good to soft) 36 days ago. More needed. Two very respectable runs this term, needs to reverse form with Art Power and Go Athletico.
7th	7 7th (7) (40/1 +0%) Lady Tilbury	40 40/1(+0%)	(7) Lady Tilbury 40/1, Useful filly who capitalised on the drop in grade when winning 6-runner minor event at Tipperary (5f, good, 8/11) 17 days ago, cosily. This is much tougher. Useful three-time winner but placed only twice in nine attempts in stakes races.
8th	8 8th (8) (40/1 +20%) Maria Branwell	40 40/1(+20%)	(8) Maria Branwell 40/1, Useful filly who wasn't seen to best effect when fourth of 8 in handicap at Down Royal (5f, good) 29 days ago. Tongue tied for first time. Listed winner, third in 2022 Queen Mary, 94-rated filly is up against it at this level.

LTO Selection:

Ladies Church arrives on the back of a comfortable success in Listed company and she merits the utmost respect along with White Lavender, who landed a Group 3 in France when last seen. Go Athletico made a winning stable debut for Adrian McGuinness last month, when beating Ano Syra, and he is another to consider, though preference is for ART POWER. Tim Easterby's stable star finished an admirable fourth in the July Cup at Newmarket last Saturday and can maintain his unbeaten course record down in class.

An interesting renewal of this Group 2 with ART POWER taken to maintain his unbeaten record at this track having bounced straight back to form with an excellent effort in the July Cup last week. Ladies Church, White Lavender and Go Athletico are all credible rivals, though.

Last Saturday's July Cup fourth ART POWER boasts a flawless record in Ireland and can maintain that trend on this rare venture over 5f

15:10 Curragh Group 2 5f PREDICTION SIMULATION

15:45 Curragh Group 1 12f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	7 1st (7) (0.91/1 -10%) Savethelastdance	0.91 0.91/1(-10%)	(7) Savethelastdance 0.91/1, Rapid improver who won the Cheshire Oaks by a remarkable 22 lengths. Beaten favourite in the Oaks at Epsom next time but she still performed with plenty of credit to finish 1¾ lengths second to Soul Sister. Leading claims. Cheshire Oaks winner; showed that was no fluke when 2nd in Oaks; gets her conditions now.
2	3 2nd (3) (4/1 +20%) Bluestocking	4 4/1(+20%)	(3) Bluestocking 4/1, Bred in the purple and overcame inexperience to make a striking winning debut in 1m Salisbury novice last autumn. Has shaped well when placed behind Warm Heart in Newbury listed race and the Ribblesdale at Royal Ascot (1½m, good to firm) this season. Highly likely more to come after just 3 starts. 2 huge runs in defeat this term; outpaced before staying on for 3rd in Ribblesdale latest.
3	5 3rd (5) (80/1 -21%) Library	80 80/1(-21%)	(5) Library 80/1, Useful filly. Won listed race at Naas in June. Only 7½ lengths seventh in Stanerra Stakes at Leopardstown since. Stiff task. Career best Listed win before beaten fav over 1m6f; up against it up in class.
4	6 4th (6) (12/1 +14%) Lumiere Rock	12 12/1(+14%)	(6) Lumiere Rock 12/1, Useful filly. Course winner. 14/1, very good 2½ lengths second of 17 to Warm Heart in Ribblesdale at Royal Ascot (1½m, good to firm), with the reopposing Bluestocking in third. Big run when 2nd to Warm Heart in the Ribblesdale and met a bit of trouble in running.
5th	8 5th (8) (4.5/1 -13%) Warm Heart	4.5 4.5/1(-13%)	(8) Warm Heart 4.5/1, Galileo filly who is improving at a rate of knots, having Bluestocking behind her for a second time when completing a hat-trick in the Ribblesdale at Royal Ascot (1½m, good to firm; Lumiere Rock 2½ lengths back in second). Should go well again. Bids for 4-timer after Ribblesdale success latest with 2 of these in behind; more needed.
6th	2 6th (2) (25/1 +11%) Be Happy	25 25/1(+11%)	(2) Be Happy 25/1, Improved when third (Sea of Roses second) in 10.5f Saint-Cloud Group 3 on reappearance and backed that up when 1¾ lengths second of 9 to Eternal Hope in Lingfield Oaks Trial (1½m, AW) 10 weeks ago. This stiffer test at the trip should see her in a better light. Good runs at Pattern level last 2 starts, although form of Oaks trial on AW knocked since.
7th	1 7th (1) (7/1 +42%) Azazat	7 7/1(+42%)	(1) Azazat 7/1, Confirmed reappearance promise when winning maiden at Leopardstown. Improved again when ½-length second of 8 to Rosscarbery in Munster Oaks at Cork (1½m, good to soft) 36 days ago. May do better again but this a jump in class. Getting better with each run; 2nd in Cork Gr 3 latest; more to come and handles conditions.
8th	4 8th (4) (40/1 +0%) Comhra	40 40/1(+0%)	(4) Comhra 40/1, Much improved when third in the Irish 1000 Guineas here in May but failed to back it up when 19¾ lengths last of 9 to Via Sistina in Pretty Polly Stakes here (1¼m, good) 21 days ago. Good 3rd in Irish 1,000; allergy used for poor runs since; should stay and has e/w claims.

LTO Selection:

SAVETHELASTDANCE has shown plenty of ability in her career to date and she holds the most compelling claims in this contest. Aidan O'Brien's three-year-old looked a superstar when winning easily in the Cheshire Oaks before running with plenty of credit when second in the Oaks at Epsom last time, therefore she should take the beating. Warm Heart won the Ribblesdale at Royal Ascot on her previous outing and is feared most, although she will have to improve again to score here, while Bluestocking completes the shortlist.

SAVETHELASTDANCE is taken to make up for her short-priced reversal in the Oaks at Epsom by landing the Irish version. Warm Heart can confirm her Ribblesdale superiority over Bluestocking and Lumiere Rock and give her stablemate most to do.

Conditions should come right for SAVETHELASTDANCE (nap) who probably found the ground a bit too lively when an excellent 2nd at Epsom

Course winner. 11/1, creditable 4½ lengths fourth of 12 to Courage Mon Ami in Gold Cup at Royal Ascot (20f, good to firm) 30 days ago. Back down in trip. The form choice. Gr 3 winner at end of last term; winning return and 4th in Gold Cup latest; big player.

Creditable 1½ lengths fourth of 11 to Shamida in Stanerra Stakes at Leopardstown (14f, good, 17/2) 9 days ago, staying on well. Has bit to find on form. Won 1m4f h'cap on return; held her own since; stayed this trip in Gr 3 latest; more needed.
4	4 4th (4) (25/1 -56%) Run For Oscar	25 25/1(-56%)	(4) Run For Oscar 25/1, Useful gelding. 3/1, good third of 9 in minor event at Royal Ascot (21.6f, good to firm) 28 days ago. Significantly down in trip with more required in this tougher company. Cesarewitch winner; placed at Royal Ascot but needs to take his form to a new level.
5th	5 5th (5) (22/1 +45%) Sionnach Eile	22 22/1(+45%)	(5) Sionnach Eile 22/1, Smart gelding. 14/1, 6 lengths seventh of 9 to Espionage in listed race at Roscommon (11.7f, good to soft) 18 days ago. Trainer going well so he's no forlorn hope. Progressive last summer winning valuable pot at Galway; not in the same form this term.
6th	6 6th (6) (10/1 +17%) Yashin	10 10/1(+17%)	(6) Yashin 10/1, Smart gelding. 1 win from 1 run this year. 14/1, career best when winning 9-runner Saval Beg Levmoss Stakes at Leopardstown (14f, good) 64 days ago by short head from Point King. Needs to take another step forward here though. Narrowly got the better of Point King in Gr 3 on only run this term; ground a concern.

Winner at Cork in May. 22/1, very good 1½ lengths second of 9 to Espionage in listed race at Roscommon (11.7f, good to soft) 18 days ago, having run of race. This demands a major career best though. Just a Cork maiden win to his name from 14 starts; looks out of his depth.
9th	1 9th (1) (250/1 -25%) John Alexander	250 250/1(-25%)	(1) John Alexander 250/1, Fairly useful colt. 1 win from 2 runs this year. Tailed-off last of 8 to Aff Un Zo in Oleander-Rennen at Hoppegarten (15.9f, good to firm, 14/1) 69 days ago. Easy to look elsewhere. Winner on h'cap bow on AW but out of his depth at this level and tailed off in Gr 2 latest.

LTO Selection:

After disappointing behind the reopposing Yashin (first) and Point King (second) in a Group 3 at Leopardstown, the classy Emily Dickinson was back on song with a very creditable fourth in the Gold Cup at Royal Ascot last month. With forecast softer conditions in her favour, Aidan O'Brien's filly has strong claims here, but slight preference is for the ground-versatile ROSSCARBERY, who has also fared well at Group 1 level. 10 furlongs wasn't far enough for her in the Pretty Polly here three weeks ago, but she emerged with plenty of credit in fourth and the recent Munster Oaks winner touched off Emily Dickinson when landing the Group 3 Stanerra Stakes last summer.

EMILY DICKINSON holds the clear edge on form so this course scorer is fancied to resume winning ways on the back of her good effort in the Ascot Gold Cup. Pretty Polly fourth Rosscarbery rates the chief threat to Aidan O'Brien's smart stayer with the progressive Okita Soushi and unexposed Gooloogong appealing as the pick of the rest for minor honours.

This looks like a good opportunity for EMILY DICKINSON who sets a solid standard and gets her conditions

Info	Form	Odds
1	6 1st (6) (7.5/1 +66%) Jakajaro	7.5 7.5/1(+66%)	(6) Jakajaro 7.5/1, Just fair form all 3 starts to date but may do better now handicapping. Beaten 4l by Prince X J latest; h'capper taken no chances.
2	8 2nd (8) (10/1 +50%) Sanshiro	10 10/1(+50%)	(8) Sanshiro 10/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 4¾ lengths fourth of 11 to Ocean Baroque in maiden (50/1) at Navan (5f, good to soft) 7 days ago. Blinkers on for handicap debut. Needs to take a step forward. Promise in 3 maidens without placing; should get closer to Ocean Baroque this time.
3	9 3rd (9) (50/1 -25%) Nika Pika	50 50/1(-25%)	(9) Nika Pika 50/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 50/1, eighth of 11 in maiden at Roscommon (7.2f, good) 51 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. Tongue tied for handicap debut and hard to warm to. Minor promise on debut; struggled twice since and this opening mark looks too high.
4	5 4th (5) (16/1 -14%) Neo Smart	16 16/1(-14%)	(5) Neo Smart 16/1, Hasn't progressed from an encouraging debut. Others preferred on handicap debut. Promising debut over 5f here; disappointing in 3 runs since, albeit at Group level latest.
5th	10 5th (10) (14/1 -27%) Poppadom	14 14/1(-27%)	(10) Poppadom 14/1, Thrice-raced maiden who showed more than previously when fifth of 14 in maiden at Fairyhouse (6f, good, 125/1) 10 days ago. Type to do better again now switching to handicaps. Improvement when beaten 5l in Fairyhouse maiden; not sure to appreciate soft.
6th	4 6th (4) (2.25/1 +36%) Ocean Baroque	2.25 2.25/1(+36%)	(4) Ocean Baroque 2.25/1, Belatedly confirmed debut promise when winning 11-runner maiden at Navan (5f, good to soft) 7 days ago, driven out. Makes handicap debut and expected to go well. Seemed to appreciate getting back on soft when winning at Navan last week; good mark.
7th	1 7th (1) (2.2/1 +2%) Democracy	2.2 2.2/1(+2%)	(1) Democracy 2.2/1, Impressed when making a winning start over C&D. Has struggled up in grade since but will find this more suitable. C&D winner; not disgraced in two subsequent Group races; return to softer ground may help.
8th	2 8th (2) (10/1 -43%) Prince X J	10 10/1(-43%)	(2) Prince X J 10/1, Improved a chunk to get off the mark at Fairyhouse in June. Well held in the Coventry Stakes at Royal Ascot 11 days later and now switches to a nursery. Fairyhouse maiden winner; out of his depth in Gr 2; improver on h'cap bow; ground a worry.
9th	3 9th (3) (7/1 -27%) Oligopoly	7 7/1(-27%)	(3) Oligopoly 7/1, Match debut form when third of 10 in maiden at Gowran (7f, good to soft) 34 days ago. Tongue tied for handicap debut and must enter calculations for yard that has an excellent record in this race. Creditable 2nd on debut; similar level of form latest; drop to 6f may help but tough mark.

LTO Selection:

DEMOCRACY hasn't progressed as maybe expected following his debut success here in April, twice finishing down the field in Group contests at this track, but he is worth a chance to return to form, especially with softer underfoot conditions potentially being in his favour. Oligopoly has run with credit on both starts to date and shapes as if a drop to 6f would bring about improvement, while Prince X J, who contested the Coventry at Royal Ascot, last week's Navan winner Ocean Baroque and Sanshiro are all capable of a decent showing.

Joseph O'Brien has a good record in this race and may be able to add to it with OLIGOPOLY. He again showed plenty when beaten only by a pair of well-bred newcomers at Gowran last month and looks one to keep onside now switching to a nursery, especially with a handy claimer booked. Ocean Baroque and Poppadom are a couple of potential threats.

Preference is for last week's winner OCEAN BAROQUE\ who appreciates soft and he's taken to confirm form with \bSanshiro

Info	Form	Odds
1	5 1st (5) (1.75/1 +7%) Machnamh	1.75 1.75/1(+7%)	(5) Machnamh 1.75/1, Fairly useful filly. Good second of 16 in maiden at Limerick (8f, good, 3/1) 29 days ago. Has the best form and boasts solid claims. Only beaten half a length by a nice prospect last time out and sets a solid standard.
2	1 2nd (1) (4.5/1 +80%) Dagoda	4.5 4.5/1(+80%)	(1) Dagoda 4.5/1, Fair mare. Remains a maiden after 21 Flat runs. 13/2, respectable tenth of 17 in handicap at Leopardstown (8f, good) 44 days ago. Looks vulnerable. 0-21; went close on penultimate start but would need a career best here.
3	8 3rd (8) (6.5/1 -117%) Perfect Poise	6.5 6.5/1(-117%)	(8) Perfect Poise 6.5/1, Thrice-raced filly. Eighth of 10 in maiden at Listowel (8f, good to soft, 3/1) 49 days ago. Needs to bounce back. Promising return; didn't go a yard latest but level of previous efforts gives her a chance.
4	2 4th (2) (2.75/1 +66%) Beauty Bella	2.75 2.75/1(+66%)	(2) Beauty Bella 2.75/1, Lightly-raced filly. 14/1, respectable fourth of 10 in maiden at Leopardstown (7.2f, good) 37 days ago. Can't be discounted. Good form in defeat over 7f this season and return to slower ground may help.
5th	4 5th (4) (125/1 -89%) Harriet Eagle	125 125/1(-89%)	(4) Harriet Eagle 125/1, Twice-raced filly. Sixth of 10 in maiden at Limerick (7f, good, 125/1) 28 days ago. Modest form in two starts at this trip so far; others preferred.
6th	3 6th (3) (6.5/1 -160%) Coco Crush	6.5 6.5/1(-160%)	(3) Coco Crush 6.5/1, War Front filly. Dam smart US 6f/7f winner (former including at 2 yrs), runner-up in Canadian 6f Grade 1. Has an excellent pedigree and is probably worth chancing first time out. War Front filly; dam won at 7f; yard can ready one and 7f should be fine; check market.
7th	10 7th (10) (14/1 +13%) Swan Band	14 14/1(+13%)	(10) Swan Band 14/1, €78,000 yearling, Awtaad filly. Dam, 2-y-o 1m winner who stayed 1½m, half-sister to smart winner up to 7.4f Convergence out of useful winner up to 1½m (2-y-o 1m winner) Zahoo. Interesting newcomer. Awtaad filly; 78,000euros yearling; dam related to 7f winners; tough ask for a newcomer.
8th	7 8th (7) (28/1 +44%) Medici Pass	28 28/1(+44%)	(7) Medici Pass 28/1, Once-raced filly. 20/1, eighth of 14 in maiden at Killarney (8.1f, good to soft) on debut 4 days ago. Needs to improve significantly. Beaten 11l on debut at Killarney earlier in the week; unlikely.
9th	9 9th (9) (100/1 +0%) Shesatrolleydollie	100 100/1(+0%)	(9) Shesatrolleydollie 100/1, Once-raced filly. 100/1, last of 11 in maiden at Roscommon (7.3f, good to soft) on debut 18 days ago, missing break. Showed very little when 100-1 on debut.
10th	11 10th (11) (100/1 -257%) Vivezza	100 100/1(-257%)	(11) Vivezza 100/1, Starspangledbanner filly. Dam, 5f winner who stayed 7f, half-sister to useful 7f-1m winner Power of Darkness. Not an obvious sort on paper. Starspangledbanner filly; dam 5f winner (RPR 81); unlikely to be involved on debut.
11th	6 11th (6) (200/1 -100%) Mayo Dawn	200 200/1(-100%)	(6) Mayo Dawn 200/1, Thrice-raced filly. 200/1, thirteenth of 14 in maiden at Fairyhouse (7f, good) 10 days ago. Poor form in three starts so far.

LTO Selection:

MACHNAMH arrives here on the back of a close second against colts at Limerick a month ago and that form suggests that the daughter of Teofilo could be hard to beat back against her own sex. Beauty Bella is a useful filly who could prove to be the main threat to the selection following an encouraging effort at Leopardstown. Coco Crush has an eye-catching pedigree and is a newcomer to note, while Perfect Poise and Swan Band complete the shortlist.

COCO CRUSH has an eye-catching pedigree and represents a top yard, so she's capable of making a successful start. Machnamh is the clear pick of those with form and should be able to take advantage if the selection doesn't come up to expectations.

The standard is set by MACHNAMH who was only narrowly denied at Limerick and a repeat of that level of form may make her hard to beat

About U.K Horse Racing

Horse racing is a popular and historic sport in the UK, with a tradition dating back centuries. It is a multi-billion pound industry that attracts millions of spectators each year and generates significant economic activity.

There are two main types of horse racing in the UK: flat racing and jump racing. Flat racing is run on a level course and is typically shorter in distance, while jump racing involves horses jumping over obstacles and is generally longer in distance. Both types of racing are popular with spectators and bettors, and they take place at various racetracks throughout the country.

The most famous horse racing event in the UK is the Grand National, which is held annually at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool. It is a jump racing event that is known for its challenging course and has become a national institution in the UK. Other notable horse racing events in the UK include the Derby, held at Epsom Downs Racecourse in Surrey, and the Royal Ascot, held at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire.

Horse racing in the UK is regulated by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA), which sets rules and standards for the industry. It is responsible for the welfare of racehorses and the safety of jockeys and trainers, as well as ensuring fair and transparent racing practices.

In addition to its economic and cultural importance, horse racing in the UK also plays a significant role in the breeding and training of thoroughbred horses. Many of the world's top thoroughbreds are bred and trained in the UK, and the industry plays a vital role in the preservation and promotion of the breed.

Overall, horse racing is an integral part of British culture and a major contributor to the country's economy. It is a thrilling and exciting sport that continues to attract a loyal following and generate significant interest from spectators and bettors around the world.
