CATHERINE OF SIENA could be rewarded for her enduring consistency. Kevin Coleman's charge hasn't been out of the places since July last year. During that time, she has bagged sprint victories in Dundalk and was last seen being pipped by a neck in a Listed race at Chelmsford City in April. The one caveat is that she has been extensively campaigned on all-weather surfaces since November and has to show she is as effective on turf. Lady Tilbury is best in at the weights and could profit if fully recovered from Sunday's exertions in fifth in a Listed race at the Curragh. Harmony Rose was in decent nick before failing to make an impression in the ultra-competitive Rockingham on Sunday. She is entitled to be in the hunt for prize money off her mark. Parting Glass has plenty of ability, but faces a stiff task at these weights.

This can go to LADY TILBURY, who has acquitted herself well in listed company in recent starts. Catherine of Siena and Harmony Rose are the obvious dangers.

Quite highly tried of late LADY TILBURY (nap) can take advantage of this drop in class

ALABAMA was drawn on the wrong side in the Listed Windsor Castle Stakes at Royal Ascot, so his fifth place can be marked up. He led home the low-drawn numbers, but finished behind horses drawn 19, 15, 16 and 18. The blinkers that were enlisted for the first time there have been retained. Gunzburg is a very speedy filly as evidenced by her Down Royal success over the flying 5f and her runner-up spot in a Group 2 at the Curragh on Saturday. Tiger Belle showed plenty of dash to win at Cork before finishing second over C&D at the end of May, while Gaenari was only headed close home on debut at the Curragh after attracting plenty of support.

ALABAMA led home his group when fifth in the Windsor Castle a fortnight ago and with his limit unlikely to have been reached, he looks the way to go. Gunzburg took a leap forward when runner-up in a Group 2 at the Curragh on Saturday and is a major player if turned out quickly, with Tiger Belle completing the shortlist.

Having finished clear of those racing on the far side at Ascot, Windsor Castle fifth ALABAMA looks the one to beat

NOT TOO REAL BAD has been competing at a higher level in her last three starts. She was successful over this trip in Cork and wasn't beaten far into fourth at that venue on her latest outing, so should appreciate this company. Aloysius Lilius has switched stables since the retirement of trainer Gerard O'Leary. He has claims on his first start for Darren Bunyan as he is down to his last winning mark of 64 and Dean Curran claims 4lb. Rathbranchurch attempted to make all in Down Royal before dropping to fourth. He is drawn to attack in stall two and Sean Bird lessens his burden by 7lb. Mymomentintime ran third in a big-field sprint at Navan which brings him into contention and he has a Curragh victory from the end of last season in his locker.

MYMOMENTINTIME ran right up to his best when third at Naas in May and back from a short break, he could be the way to go. Rathbranchurch and Not Too Real Bad are viable threats, with Aloysius Lilius one to monitor in the betting starting out for a new yard.

Although she needs luck in running it may pay to side with NOT TOO REAL BAD here with Jamie Powell booked

SPANISH FLAME was electric in Roscommon and can give weight away to the field. The Phoenix Of Spain colt stormed home by six lengths to mark himself out as a juvenile to follow and he holds an entry in the Group 1 National Stakes at the Curragh. Aidan O'Brien's juveniles are winning at a 37 per cent strike rate in Ireland this season, at the time of writing, and the champion trainer's Portland has to be given plenty of respect. He was a beaten favourite in third at the Curragh, but wasn't far off the winner. He looks sure to progress from that effort and has the same Group 1 entry. Jessica Harrington introduces Siyouni colt Versatile who has that National Stakes entry while Donnacha O'Brien's Galileo newcomer Bremen should be given a market check. Chicago Fireball was a place behind Portland at the Curragh and didn't go unbacked. He's another that could get in the mix for an in-form Johnny Murtagh.

SPANISH FLAME confirmed debut promise when running out an impressive winner of a Roscommon maiden 5 weeks ago and, with the prospect of more to come, he can concede weight all round and follow up. Portland, an encouraging third in a Curragh maiden himself last month is next best, with Versatile a newcomer to note.

PORTLAND is put forward as the solution. He can show the benefit of his Curragh debut and uphold that form with Chicago Fireball

SIBYL CHARM could do some damage off a mark of 78 in her first handicap considering she has been placed in three of her four runs in maiden company. Cnodian appreciates cut in the ground and a deluge in Limerick played to her strengths when she won there last month. She handled better ground when keeping on for second at Leopardstown, though, after a less than clear route. Lady Arwen built upon a Curragh runner-up berth to oblige in Limerick and Jake Coen's 5lb claim is a big help to her. All the headgear was left off Chestnutter in Leopardstown and it worked the oracle as she made the breakthrough by a short head. If she is in the same mood, a 4lb rise shouldn't stop her. Linger For Longer wasn't far behind Cnodian in second at Limerick and, prior to that, was also second in Listowel, so she enters the equation. Fools Glory would welcome plenty of rain.

Any number of chances in a competitive fillies' handicap and with that in mind a chance is taken on DAZZLING SPIRIT. She needs to cut out the tardy starts but is certainly capable of going close from this sort of mark on the evidence of her last 2 starts and a good pace to aim at here will aid her cause. Linger For Longer, Lady Arwen and Cnodian head the dangers, ahead of last year's winner Karlsberg.

A very wide open handicap. LINGER FOR LONGER could find this trip ideal and gets the vote to reverse Limerick form with Cnodian

FRATAS landed a gamble in Ballinrobe and has prospects of following up. She showed good resolution to see off the runner-up and encounters a similar trip here. Cruiscin Lan drops back in trip after finishing second over an extended 1m3f in Limerick. The winner of that race is now rated 73, so Cruiscin Lan should be a factor here if appreciating this trip. Dappled Light was produced on the line to win in Killarney, and the way he saw that race out over an extended 1m bodes well for this step up in trip. Amemri was all out to win over 1m in Limerick and now has an extra furlong to negotiate. Miss Yvonne rallied to be a close third behind Amemri and is one to note in first-time cheekpieces. Attrazione had some fair form in Britain and makes her Irish debut off a break of more than five months.

STATUS GREEN caught the eye when a staying-on sixth under a hands-and-heels ride in 1m Limerick maiden recently and, with improvement likely over this slightly longer trip now handicapping, he could be the answer. Miss Yvonne was a close third to Amemri at the aforementioned course and, now 3 lb better off with that respected rival, she is taken to reverse the placings and emerge as the main danger. Dappled Light, a winner at Killarney last time, is also shortlisted.

CRUISCIN LAN is a token pick. He is well-drawn and will likely go forward, considering his second over 1m3f at Limerick last time

AL SAYAH ran on well for fifth, beaten just over two lengths, on handicap debut at Limerick and looks sure to appreciate this step up in trip. The first-time cheekpieces that were deployed in Limerick are retained for this assignment. No Hassle has been pipped by a short head at Cork and by a head in Fairyhouse, and he has solid claims particularly as the latter result came over 1m4f. The handicapper has raised him by 4lb, but he ought to be on the premises once again. There were valid excuses for Bright Moment's unplaced run at Leopardstown and it is worth noting that she posted two decent placed efforts before that. She tries a new trip and has stronger claims than most of the others. Bear Claws gave jockey Calum Hogan his first winner in Limerick and the pair have a shot at going in again.

AL SAYAH was doing some good late work when fifth at Limerick 3 weeks ago and, up in trip, she could find further improvement to open her account. Hello Power looks a danger and Bear Claws deserves respect having made a winning reappearance.

GLOVES OFF was noted running on at Leopardstown over 1m1f last time and is well drawn, so can score

John McConnell's WILD SHOT showed more when fourth in Down Royal last month and has claims of gaining his ninth victory on the Flat. He is on a mark 2lb lower than his last success which also came under jockey Siobhan Rutledge. Belgoprince was well backed over further in Leopardstown, but finished in mid-division. He has form in the book over this sort of trip and it wouldn't be a surprise to see him heavily involved. First-time cheekpieces might eke out a bit more from Pale Moonlight who was last seen finishing fourth at Gowran Park in April. McConnell's Miss Upbeat isn't without claims based on her penultimate outing when placed in a Tipperary handicap over a similar trip.

PALE MOONLIGHT has shaped quite well on both outings this season and might prove the answer to this tricky finale. Former C&D scorer Wild Shot is respected on the back of his recent Down Royal fourth. French Company has been fairly consistent lately and should also have a part to play. Thefaithfulindian has been given a chance by the handicapper in this sphere and completes the shortlist.

A chance is taken on ANGEL OF THE PACE to go in on handicap debut. She is bred to appreciate this trip.
