EW Places: 1/4 ODDS - 4 PLACES

Verdict: The last two winners of this race have been drawn high. With that in mind, CARLA RIDGE, who has solid stakes race form, gets the vote. Like the 2024 winner, he is a three-year-old with a hefty burden. Of the others drawn high, Red Evolution, Kendall Roy and Tuco Salamanca should enter calculations. Moltophino, drawn in the middle, could go well. If things pan out favouring the other side, Keke and Bounty might be the ones to benefit. [Alan Sweetman]

Comment: Runner-up on six occasions before belatedly opening account with 6f course win in May on 16th outing, beating subsequent Rockingham winner Keke; seldom runs a bad race; trainer has developed a good record on big days at this venue

Carla Ridge

11/1

Comment: Won 6f Navan maiden on the second of two juvenile starts; ran well in defeat in Group 3 races on her first two outings this season; out of her depth in the Commonwealth Cup; subsequent stakes race form linked to the smart Sky Majesty gives her a big chance.

11/1

Comment: Won premier handicap over 5f last September after finishing fourth in this race; notched third win at this track when taking Rockingham Handicap in June; excuse at Cork in race won by Red Evolution; second to Sarahmae under a big weight last time; 15lb higher than last year, but his form merits it; respected.

Kendall Roy

Jockey: C T Keane Trainer: Miss Kate McGivern Age/Wt: 4/9-0 F: 00-634 OR: 90

11/1

Comment: Highly progressive last year, winning four 5f handicaps and taking a big hike up the weights; yet to score this term but some encouraging signs, notably from York fourth on latest; reproduction would give him a chance of reversing previous form with Red Evolution and Sarahmae.

Jockey: Nicola Burns Trainer: John James Feane Age/Wt: 6/8-7 F: 0-69554 OR: 76

12/1

Comment: No success since back-to-back wins in 2023; some merit in this year's form and her theoretical 7lb disadvantage is offset by rider's claim.

Tropical Retreat

Jockey: P McGettigan Trainer: Thomas Mullins Age/Wt: 3/8-7 F: 921841 OR: 83

22/1

Comment: All eight turf wins at this venue (also placed here on ten occasions); as good as ever when landing the 7f Gladness Stakes over C&D in March; form since has been variable; can never be totally ruled out here but others are preferred.

Verdict: Plenty with chances, best of the British challenge looking to come from Alparslan and Blingy's Sister but a strong home challenge could see the valuable prize remain at home for the first time in four years. Magny Cours holds plenty of appeal off a light weight, while By The Lake demands respect, but preference is for JOYFUL TIDINGS, absent since accounting for a subsequent Listed winner on her Tipperary debut back in April on similar ground.

Alparslan

Jockey: C Lee Trainer: K R Burke Age/Wt: 2/9-7 F: 1

5/4

Comment: 75,000euros yearling; first foal of a 7f winner in Germany/Belgium; easy to back when making winning debut last month in 7f Leicester novice event, clear of an odds-on shot inside final furlong to win well; showed plenty of speed then so drop back in trip shouldn't be a problem.

Comment: A'Ali colt cost 20,000euros as a yearling; dam maiden half-sister to winners Viren's Army (10.3f Listed) and Eagle Creek (useful 7f/1m); made good impression when justifying market support on debut back in April, speed throughout in beating a subsequent Listed winner over 5f (yielding); long-absent but has his ground here and big player if seeing out this stiff 6f.

Verdict: Karl Burke won this with Fallen Angel two years ago and has a strong contender in the unbeaten Prix Morny winner Venetian Sun. She has coped well with quick ground but should not be inconvenienced by an ease. Of greater concern is the question of whether she will have the stamina to resist COMPOSING whose liking for this trip is already established with an emphatic C&D Group 2 win. Beautify is a strong second-string for Ballydoyle. [Alan Sweetman]

Comment: Only fifth on debut in race in which longer-priced stablemate Beautify was third; unbeaten in three races since then, a C&D maiden and small-field Group 3 races at Leopardstown (beat Skydance readily) and C&D, taking the measure of the front-running Suzie Songs; may stay more effectively than the unbeaten Venetian Sun; dam handled soft ground well.

Comment: A revelation since a debut success at Carlisle, climbing the Pattern level at a rapid rate; landed the Group 3 Albany Stakes and the Group 2 Duchess Of Cambridge Stakes (beating the subsequent Lowther winner Royal Fixation); gamely resisted the Coventry winner Gstaad in the Prix Morny; tough and talented, hard to be sure she will stay 7f at this stage.

Comment: Pleasing third on debut over 6f at this venue; winner Balantina twice placed at Group 3 level since then, including third in the Albany; built on her initial experience when defeating the odds-on Lady Iman and today's rival Skydance in a 6f Group 3 here in July; runner-up franked the form in the Molecomb; should have no trouble with 7f, but Composing appears stronger.

Verdict: Winner of four of his seven races at this venue, and a soft-ground Group 1 winner at Ascot in 2023, ART POWER is tipped in the hope he can hit top form on his second start of the season. He should be sharper than when dropping away in the final furlong of a 6f event won by Bucanero Fuerte here last month. Australian mare Asfoora was back to her brilliant best in the Nunthorpe and will be hard to beat if reproducing that form. Despite her slow-starting tendency Mgheera is quick enough to make her presence. She's Quality was running consistently in Britain before contesting the Nunthorpe. More rain would bring Two Stars into the equation. [Alan Sweetman]

Comment: Top-class Australian mare, highly durable, winner of 11 of her 27 races; landed the Group 1 King Charles III at Royal Ascot last year; could only dead-heat for fifth in this season's edition and was well below best at Goodwood (She's Quality, second); returned to form with a vengeance when taking the Nunthorpe in emphatic; sets the standard; two wins on soft in 2023.

Jockey: James Doyle Trainer: K R Burke Age/Wt: 4/9-6 F: 1-30064 OR: 109

11/1

Comment: Made it 4-4 on AW with a Listed win last November; only one win from nine races on turf; however, comes into the reckoning now following an excellent fourth behind Asfoora in the Nunthorpe. was previously on the wrong side at Goodwood, in a race in which She's Quality was second; might not want it too soft.

Comment: 1-15 in stakes race, that win gained in a 5f Listed event last season; despite that poor strike rate, she deserves plenty of credit for consistency this season; runner-up in four consecutive British Group 2/3 races before well held in mid-field behind Asfoora in the Nunthorpe.

Verdict: Three of today's trainers have dominated this race in the last seven years. Charlie Appleby three winners include Native Trail, whose footsteps Saba Desert follows here with major claims, while Joseph O'Brien runs North Coast, who looks to have a bit to find but so did the yard's previous three winners. Surprisingly, Aiden O'Brien's sole win in that period came with Henry Longfellow but perhaps GSTAAD can go some way to rectify the imbalance here, the manner in which he finished out the Prix Morny suggests he could get this longer trip. Zavateri, already a dual Group 2 winner, also has to be respected. [Alan Hewison]

Comment: Won heavy ground 1m2f Group 3 at Leopardstown in April 2024 but hasn't added to that, most recently readily outstayed by 4.25l winner Leinster in Leger Trial over C&D last month, having forced it; hard to fancy.

Verdict: Fourth in last year's Moyglare, RED LETTER has come good on her last two starts and should be suited by the trip and ground following a 1m1f Group 3 win at this venue late last month. Fillies of the classic generation have won this race in six consecutive years, but the four-year-old One Look can be given a serious chance having established her stamina with a C&D win eight weeks ago, and since acquired by Wathnan Racing. The case for Snellen would be weakened by further rain. [Alan Sweetman]

Comment: Fourth in Group 1 Moyglare Stakes; has come good since beaten by Barnavara at Navan in June, delivering on juvenile promise; handled soft when landing 1m Listed race at Killarney; left impression she would stay further with 1m1f course win 15 days ago, turning the tables on Barnavara.

28/1

Comment: Highly-tried 3yo and often out of his depth but did win 4-runner Navan contest over this trip in July when dropped in grade; no show in Group 3 Royal Whip over C&D latest; stiff task back in handicap company.

Rhythm King

33/1

Comment: Both wins last year came on soft, notably late-season premier handicap here over 1m; last week's Galway third (in first-time cheekpieces, now left off) was his best of the season but this trip is unknown territory and 2lb wrong.

Viking Invasion

Jockey: S T McCullagh Trainer: Joseph Patrick O'Brien Age/Wt: 3/9-7 F: 743391 OR: 98

33/1

Comment: Emerged from a short break for second career win when made plenty of use of in Roscommon conditions event over this trip 13 days ago, clear of remainder in just holding off a strong favourite on soft ground; 10lb rise looks a bit harsh but will appreciate the ground.

33/1

Comment: Has returned from 260-day absence in the form of her life for new yard, making all for today's rider to win over this trip at both Naas and Down Royal (good) in blinkers; up an aggregate of 16lb but remains 7lb out of handicap in this much higher grade.

Comment: Seven wins include here over 1m4f last summer; without success this year, best effort came over C&D in May; handicapper only slow relenting and others look better handicapped.

Comment: Last year's win in this race came off mark of 94; light campaign this term when tried over longer trips, not discredited in Group 3 at Leopardstown last time; return to this trip a positive but others preferred.

50/1

Comment: All three wins have been at 1m2f on soft or heavy, including over C&D; out of form this year until Thursday's staying-on Clonmel fourth on preferred ground which was mildly encouraging; more needed and 2lb wrong.

Sujet

Jockey: C T Keane Trainer: D K Weld Age/Wt: 3/8-12 F: 35-141 OR: 89

Comment: Lightly raced son of Frankel reappeared to win over 1m1f here on Derby weekend and more recently needed every yard when getting up late over a mile at Killarney; not as effective in between on softer ground at Galway so probably won't want much more rain now upped in trip.

Money Dancer

Jockey: N M Crosse Trainer: Noel Meade Age/Wt: 4/8-7 F: 0-2848 OR: 77

Comment: Debut winner of heavy-ground maiden here last year (7f) and first success since when taking Galway maiden hurdle six days ago (hooded first time); pick of four previous Flat handicap runs when close fourth over this trip at Sligo; in good heart but looks to have a bit to find unless retained hood brings improvement (1lb wrong).
