1.10 Ballylinch Stud Irish EBF Ingabelle Stakes (Listed) 7f

Lively heat to begin with Bubbling kicking off as Ballydoyle’s first favourite. The No Nay Never filly broke her maiden winning by five lengths at Galway Festival. The second was beaten since in Group 3 company.

Preference is for the Ger Lyons-trained Chantez. The Wootton Bassett filly had Bubbling behind when going down by a head to Exactly on her debut but got off the mark when showing a nice turn of foot back here to beat Indigo Dreams over this seven furlongs.

Mojave River made a winning debut for Joseph O’Brien at Deauville and could be one at a bigger price. (AMD)

SELECTION: CHANTEZ

Next Best: Mojave River

1.40 KPMG Champions Juvenile Stakes (Group 2) 1m

A disappointing turn-out with two of four from Ballydoyle. Delacroix didn’t have enough guns for the Jessica Harrington-trained favourite Green Impact on debut here, but stepped on from that to win well at the Curragh from Acapulco Bay who has won since. He can get revenge on the Harrington runner.

The Into Mischief colt Bernard Shaw won a weak Dundalk maiden by nine lengths, only really asserting late on. Green Impact, a good-looking son of Wootton Bassett, looks a better bet for second. (AMD)

SELECTION: DELACROIX

Next best: Green Impact

2:15 Tonybet Solonaway Stakes (Group 2) 1m

Winner on this card last year, Diego Velazquez stepped back in distance to win the Group 3 Meld Stakes before a wasted trip to Saratoga in July. The second there, Tarawa, has won since. Track and distance seem to suit the Frankel colt and he can add another win.

This looks a good opportunity for William Haggas’ multiple group-placed Maljoom in what looks a tight heat. Winner of the Group 3 German 2000 Guineas at three, he was unlucky on his next run in the St James’s Palace at three, finishing fourth to Coroebus. Absent then until last September, his placings this year in the Group 1 Queen Anne and Sussex Stakes are above what most of the opposition have achieved.

Ger Lyons’ Mutasarref has had a fine season, winning three of his five races but this is tougher and was third in a Curragh Group 3 to a British raider.

Another British challenger Poker Face was caught late in the Group 2 William Hill Celebration Mile Stakes last time. (AMD)

SELECTION: DIEGO VELAZQUEZ

Next best: Maljoom

4.00 Tonybet ‘We’re Here To Play’ Stakes (Group 3)

Dual-purpose campaigner Trustyourinstinct boasts strong form, despite having yet to land a stakes race, as he finished second to a Group 1 winner last time out and was narrowly denied by the unbeaten Jan Brueghel prior to that.

British raider Klondike has conquered this level, but faces a stronger field today. Fellow Group 3 winner Sumiha’s career-best has benefitted from the runner-up’s improved effort in France, and she remains open to further improvement as she bids to provide Dermot Weld with his sixth success in 11 runnings. She reopposes dual listed winner Thunder Roll, who will benefit from rain.

Kinesiology finished first past the post in the Vinnie Roe Stakes last time out, but it’s the 87-rated third rather than the demotion that concerns. That said, he went close in another listed race over course and distance in May. Stablemate Yashin appears better-suited to longer trips, while Euphoric is an interesting contender as he drops down in class after fulfilling pace-making duties on his last three starts.

Layfayette would be a popular winner, but it’s a big ask from a seven-year-old having his first start since November. It is fantastic to have Japanese raider La Familia line up, but his form doesn’t suggest he’ll feature in the finish. (AL)

SELECTION: TRUSTYOURINSTINCT

Next best: Klondike

4.35 Irish Stallion Farms EBF Petingo Handicap (Premier Handicap) 1m 5f

Kinesiology’s run in the previous race will be valuable in assessing Barnso and Chemistry’s chances in this.

Last year’s winner Satin needs to bounce back to form, with the good ground and any rain working in her favour, while the 2023 runner-up Comfort Zone comes fit from his fine exploits at Galway. The fourth horse No Niki No is also of interest, with her latest win boosted by the second subsequently impressing in a listed race.

Willie Mullins recorded back-to-back wins in this race before and boasts a five-strong chance of adding to his haul. It’s difficult to assess Plontier’s Polish form, while the fact that Spasiba’s fine third at Galway came over two miles and one furlong poses a question today. Lot Of Joy is preferred over this trip, and he benefits from bright light Billy Loughnane, while Bialystok’s luckless fifth at Galway puts him in the mix.

Bialystok’s eye-catching effort came behind Eagle’s Way, whose winning run may be up after rising in the weights, with the same concern for fellow hat-trick seeker Ameerat Jumaira. (AL)

SELECTION: NO NIKI NO

Next best: Bialystok

5.10 Irish Stallion Farms EBF Sovereign Path Handicap (Premier Handicap) 7f

British-based trainers have won five of the last ten runnings and present a four-strong challenge today. David O’Meara’s Cerulean Bay faces a stiff task in making it four-in-a-row off a new mark of 100, and that hike looks enough for Karl Burke’s Cuban Tiger to reverse the form.

A Group 3 winner over course and distance as a juvenile, Atlantic Coast returned to form in a Curragh listed race this summer, before disappointing on good-to-firm ground at Goodwood.

Tom Gibney’s premier handicap winner Booyea is another who has to bounce back, as does Physique, whose rating has risen 3lb since his win in the Ahonoora Handicap. His Galway rivals Dunum and Hurricane Ivor have also gone up in the weights.

Rahmi landed the Emerald Mile last season and looks capable of landing another big pot for Johnny Murtagh and Danny Sheehy. (AL)

SELECTION: RAHMI

Next best: Atlantic Coast

5.45 HKJC World Pool Autumn Fillies & Mares Handicap 1m

The Nasrullah Handicap over a furlong further provides relevant form, as the winner Lady Lunette and runner-up Snellen boast proven over a mile, and they remain on workable marks.

The progressive Quadruple also appeals, having beaten a 90-rated rival in comprehensive fashion at the Curragh, but fellow Curragh winner Vera’s Secret is harder to figure out.

She received a massive hike for her impressive seasonal return, before finishing mid-division next time in the Irish Cambridgeshire, where the race didn’t work out to her draw or prominent tactics.

Independent Expert finished third at 50/1 that day, and though she’ll be a shorter price today, her mark looks about right.

Comparing British form is a challenge, but Charlie Johnston’s Arisaig looks a smart type, having beaten Sandringham second Strutting at Goodwood. (AL)

SELECTION: Independent Expert

Next best: Lady Lunette
