The Dermot Weld-trained TANNOLA can go one better having just been touched off on her racecourse debut at Galway earlier this month. A half-sister to multiple blacktype performers, the Aga Khan-owned filly was two-and-three-quarter lengths ahead of a subsequent Group 2 placed juvenile. Granted normal improvement from that hugely promising debut, it will take a smart filly to lower her colours. National Lady has to be a serious contender having also offered plenty of encouragement when third on her debut at Leopardstown last month. The runner-up has since finished second in that aforementioned Group 2. On collateral form, there is unlikely to be too much between herself and Tannola. Four Blondes, who outran her big odds when third at the Curragh last time, could be suited to the additional furlong.

TANNOLA and National Lady both shaped like ready-made future winners on their respective debuts and can fight out the finish. Marginal preference is for the Dermot Weld-trained filly, who was collared close her home in a Galway maiden at the beginning of the month and she could turn out to be at least useful. There are several likely-looking newcomers to work through, with Dream Ticket perhaps the pick ahead of Fleur de Chine and Je Zous.

Narrowly denied at Galway, Moyglare entry TANNOLA can go one better here, but faces stiff competition from National Lady

With the form of the race in which she made her debut at this track last month working out really well, EMERALD BANNER could be set to take a significant step forward. Although only fifth on the day, the Jessica Harrington-trained filly ran a bit better than that bare form, having run green in the latter stages of that contest. With the benefit of that experience to call upon, she should be much more streetwise on this occasion. Sweetest failed to live up to pre-race expectations when managing only third place on her recent debut at Cork. The fact she was sent off an odds-on favourite clearly suggests that the Aidan O'Brien-trained filly is a smart juvenile. Back Down Under is more exposed than most but has shown enough ability in four runs to suggest she can play a part.

SWEETEST failed to land the odds on her recent debut at Cork but will have learned plenty from that initial third and Aidan O'Brien's well-related Blue Point filly can get off the mark now. Back Down Under is feared most on the back of her recent course third, with Jessica Harrington's Heavenly Being and newcomers Vivienda and Galel others who could have a say in an intriguing maiden.

Not that strong a maiden for the venue and a chance for SWEETEST to atone for an odds-on debut defeat Cork

MCTENETT can progress from an opening fourth in a Sligo sprint. This Starspangledbanner colt put in plenty of good late work to get up for fourth close home this month. Byzantine Empress has been placed twice, and has stall one and Seamie Heffernan's assistance. A good run is more than probable. Smart Impression outran her 150/1 odds when mid-division in a Group 3 over C&D in May. Her subsequent fourth in Dundalk after a break was a fair effort and the third home has since delivered. Bergamasco was beaten a fair way into fourth over further at Roscommon in June, however, the winner of that race is very smart and swept home by six lengths. There was merit in Bergamasco's performance. Darren Bunyan's newcomer Valentino Express is worth keeping an eye on in the market.

This might not take much winning and MCTENNETT shaped with some encouragement when fourth on debut at Sligo, so he could improve enough to open his account at the second attempt. Fillies Byzantine Empress and Smart Impression have better form than the selection but they're more exposed.

The selection is BERGAMASCO who trialled well here in May and should appreciate the drop in trip after a decent Roscommon debut in June

OCEAN QUEST and Ocean Jewel are well ahead of the field on official ratings and the former appeals most. She ran an absolute cracker in fourth in the Group 1 Commonwealth Cup at Royal Ascot when beaten just over two lengths. That is very strong form and it has been well franked. She is ground versatile. Ocean Jewel is returning off a break since landing a Group 3 over an extended 7f at Leopardstown in mid-June. She has the pace for a quality sprint contest as she was only beaten a head and half a length into third in a Group 3 over C&D in May (with Ocean Quest just in front of her in second). Rain wouldn't be to her advantage, though. Clounmacon successfully dropped back to sprinting in Listed class over C&D last month and there could be more to come from her. Racing in rear and passing horses seemed to suit her well and she should get plenty of pace to aim at in this contest. Lady Tilbury, Aussie Girl and My Eyes Adore You should be in the mix for prize money.

OCEAN QUEST looks a very solid proposition at this level on the back of her fine fourth in the Commonwealth Cup at Royal Ascot. Indeed, that was probably her best effort yet and she appears to handle pretty much all ground-types. Next on the list is Ocean Jewel, who was hot on the heels of the selection in the C&D Lacken Stakes in May and subsequently landed a Leopardstown Group 3. British raider Secret Angel is third choice ahead of Lady Tilbury.

Commonwealth Cup fourth, OCEAN QUEST is taken to see off her chief rival on ratings Ocean Jewel, already a winner at this level

UNIVERSALLY found a mile just stretching him when fifth here last month and found this trip more to his liking when third in a higher grade of handicap at the Curragh last weekend. He got a 5lb hike for that but might be able to defy it now that he's found a bit of form. Teddy Boy is a regular in this type of event and registered his fifth win when landing a C&D contest on soft ground earlier in the month. He was a place behind the selection at the Curragh but there was a gap of six lengths between them so he may struggle to turn around the form even with the pull in the weights. Jazzy Dancer has been running well and has Colin Keane's assistance. He was third to Teddy Boy here last time but his sole win came over 5f last term and he may be better suited by that distance.

JAZZY DANCER probably did too much too soon when third in the big-field C&D handicap won by Teddy Boy earlier this month and, with Colin Keane doing the steering, the 5-y-o is taken to reverse those placings and emerge on top this time. He may have most to fear from Singe Anglais, who has been knocking on the door for his new yard this season. Distillate has also been shaping as though her turn is near and she should be on the premises once again.

One with a big chance is JAZZY DANCER, a close third here last day and deserving a change of luck after going close a couple of times

A winner at Listowel earlier in the summer, ARCH ENEMY was caught late when second at Galway and lost her place early in the straight at Leopardstown on Thursday before rattling home to finish third. It's significant that Patrick Magee pulls her out again so quickly and the step up from a mile will suit her. Out On Friday recorded back-to-back wins over 1m4f at Fairyhouse in June and has run creditably in defeat since. A prominent racer, he went well for a long way when fifth over this trip at the Curragh last weekend. Apprentice won on her third handicap start at Tipperary in April and was fifth in her first start against older horses at Leopardstown the following month. She may have strengthened up after a nice break over the summer and her trainer was amongst the winners at Killarney this week.

CAULAINCOURT has failed to trouble the judge in a trio of maidens at up to 1m but he is likely to prove a different proposition now faced with a stiffer test on this handicap debut. Arch Enemy put in another good shift when third at Leopardstown on Thursday and she should be in the mix in if turned out again quickly, while cases can also be made for Neverfindanother U, Oriole and Shining Aitch.

Having come from well off the pace when third at Leopardstown on Thursday over a mile, ARCH ENEMY could now prove the one to beat

A maiden winner on the all-weather at Dundalk in the spring, TAKE HEART returned from five months off to finish second at the Curragh a fortnight ago. Raised 4lb for that creditable effort on handicap debut, Johnny Murtagh's charge can go one place better here. Golden Spangle has scrambled home by a short head on her last two starts, including over course and distance last time, and obviously hasn't been hit too hard in the ratings as a result. She's 3lb out of the handicap but further progression is possible. Enfranchise has to concede plenty of weight to the three-year-olds in here but was a wide margin winner over hurdles at Galway last time and won the Ulster Oaks over this trip at Down Royal in June.

TAKE HEART did well to finish as close as he did when runner-up at the Curragh a fortnight ago and, with the potential for better still on his second start in handicap company, this unexposed 3-y-o makes plenty of appeal. Migdam starts out here for new connections on a workable mark and, provided he's ready to roll following a year off, he could emerge as the main danger ahead of the hat-trick seeking Golden Spangle.

The selection is TAKE HEART(nap), an excellent second at the Curragh last time and still looks progressive

LORD VADER was twice runner-up on Kempton's all-weather track when trained in Britain last year and has been in reasonable form for Emmet Mullins this term. He ran well to be fourth in the Ladies Derby at the Curragh last month and was placed in a Galway festival maiden on his latest start. San Martino ran fairly well in a few maiden hurdles earlier in the year and the pick of his form on the Flat last year, including when third in a valuable handicap at Listowel, would see him go close. Noble Anthem, starting off for a new yard and fitted with a tongue-tie, comes over from Britain. He's been below par of late but won twice last year including a handicap win over this trip at Ayr.

Preference is for SAN MARTINO whose Flat form is solid and didn't do badly over hurdles earlier in the year
