There are plenty of well-bred individuals in the line-up, notably London City, by Justify out of Winter, who was a dual-Classic heroine amongst other successes at the highest level. Juddmonte field two very interesting runners in Formal Display, who is closely related to Time Test, and SETTLEMENT, who gets the vote. It seems very noteworthy that Dermot Weld opts to run the latter, especially being a filly, and the fact she has a Moyglare entry suggests she has been doing plenty right ahead of her first career start.

A race full of newcomers and it should prove to be an above-average maiden with several entered for big races. Dewhurst-entry LONDON CITY looks the obvious one being out of 1000 Guineas/Irish 1000 Guineas winner Winter. Juddmonte-pair Settlement and Formal Display are other likely types, though the market will be informative.

Aidan O'Brien took this 12 months ago with the market leader and LONDON CITY, with his top-level entries, makes obvious appeal.

Dagoda has strong claims on the pick of her form but she has had 23 previous attempts without success and it could pay to take her on again. Lady Fox lost the race in the stewards' room on debut and should appreciate this step up in trip after a well-held fifth at Tipperary last week, but APPLE A DEY stayed on past her for third that day and could be the one to side with. That was a big improvement on her first effort and Henry de Bromhead's filly should have more to offer, with the extra furlong very much in her favour. Double Jabbed and Paradise Perfect are others to consider in a tricky contest.

DOUBLE JABBED wasn't seen to best effect last time and had found only a class dropper too good on her penultimate start, so she's well worth another chance in an ordinary maiden. Wooden Head remains open to improvement, with standard-setter Dagoda and Apple A Dey others to consider.

An unappealing betting race. LADY FOX edges preference in the hope that she can replicate her debut form at Navan.

The progressive Youcrackmeup regained the winning thread on the opening day of the Galway Festival last month, but a 10lb rise may be enough to thwart the Cracksman filly's challenge for a third success. Three-year-old handicap debutants SUGAREE and Esquiline make most appeal entering this sphere, with the former, a comfortable winner at Leopardstown in June, shading the verdict. Marvelosa also enters calculations now reunited with apprentice Jack Kearney, who was on board for her maiden success at Sligo and claims a handy 7lb here.

SUGAREE has improved with each of her three starts, most recently landing a Leopardstown maiden in decisive fashion, and she earns the vote with further progress on the cards now pitched into a handicap. The progressive Youcrackmeup is greatly respected, despite going up 10 lb for her recent Galway success, while No Niki No is third choice ahead of Marvelosa.

A tight handicap. MARVELOSA ran well last time behind one who wasn't disgraced at the Shergar Cup.

HENRY LONGFELLOW burst to prominence in the ante-post markets for next year's Classics when making a sparkling beginning to his career over C&D, and the impeccably-bred son of Dubawi and the brilliant Minding can give Aidan O'Brien a remarkable 16th victory in this contest. The champion trainer is also represented by Galway winner Portland, although he has been beaten by both Spanish Flame and Islandsinthestream. The latter was particularly impressive over track and trip and could be the primary threat to the Ballydoyle dominance.

The well-bred HENRY LONGFELLOW, who looked good when making a winning start to his career in a C&D maiden last month, is taken to provide the Aidan O'Brien yard with its sixteenth success in this Group 2 contest. Spanish Flame gets the nod for forecast purposes ahead of the selection's stablemate Portland and the promising Islandsinthestream.

The impeccably-bred HENRY LONGFELLOW is taken to follow up his recent C&D success en route to Group 1 targets.

Aidan O'Brien has won this with some classy types down the years, including Magical and Rhododendron, and the master of Ballydoyle can enhance that record with PEARLS AND RUBIES. Having won at Navan on her debut, she was then narrowly denied by Snellen in the Chesham. She continues to improve with racing, evidenced by her good second in the Anglesey last time, so she ought to be more than capable of reversing the Royal Ascot form with further progress on the cards. Others to note include Dollerina and Betula.

SAKTI shaped with lots of encouragement when runner-up in a strong-looking maiden at Leopardstown on her debut last month and, with the performance backed up by the timefigure, she's worth siding with to go one better up in grade. Vespertilio, Pearls And Rubies and Snellen are a trio of credible rivals however, while Dollerina shouldn't be taken lightly, either.

It could pay to chance DOLLERINA, who was doing all her best work late in the day when chasing home a Group filly here in June.

THUNDER ROLL sets a lofty standard on form, having finished third in the Munster Oaks last time out over further. Joseph O'Brien's filly should have no problem with the drop in trip and she can get off the mark at the fourth time of asking, with the consistent Tommy Thug and stable companion Harsh looking best placed to chase her home. Dubawi Delight has strong claims on his penultimate effort over C&D, while Starry Eyed cannot be ruled out either.

Having stayed on nicely to be third in the Munster Oaks at Cork last time, THUNDER ROLL appears to face a straightforward task as she bids to open her account. Starry Eyed is the likeliest to capitalise if the selection fluffs her lines and Sumiha appeals as an interesting newcomer.

This looks all about THUNDER ROLL who still holds a Group 1 entry. She has held her own in Listed\Group events the last twice.

In a highly competitive event, it may pay to side with TURBULENCE, who was an unlucky loser at Naas after being repeatedly denied a clear run before his jockey briefly dropped his reins. Only beaten a short head at the line, he can gain compensation. Eastern Legend may have more to offer after a fairly comfortable defeat of Alma Libre at Down Royal, while God Knows and Deakin are interesting maidens starting off in handicap company off what may yet prove to be pretty favourable marks.

PONT AUDEMAR is well treated based on hurdling form and is easily excused his latest showing at Galway (didn't get a clear run), so he's worth another chance for all that this is a wide-open contest. Turbulence, who was just touched off at Naas last time, is a big threat and God Knows might do better on her first outing in handicaps.

Having had little luck in-running when a fast finishing second at Naas, TURBULENCE (nap) should be able to go one better today.

ALOYSIUS LILIUS bounced back to form at Tipperary last week and while he has an 8lb higher mark to contend with, the relatively quick turnaround suggests this is a good time to catch this still potentially well-handicapped gelding. Realtin Fantasy and Art Of Unity are back for another crack at the selection after respectively finishing close up in third and fifth in that aforementioned race and, being better off at the weights, both warrant consideration. Silver Nemo and Peerless are more speculative options to note in the betting.

It could be worth chancing SHIMMERZ, who was a good winner over C&D in May before having possible excuses on both outings since. Shoebox King remains on a good mark, while Aloysius Lilius was a comfortable winner at Tipperary last week.

Having weakened late on over 6f at Naas last time, SIESTA BEACH could get back on the scoresheet reverting to the minimum trip.
