GLENEAGLE BAY and Bella Isabella are favoured by these terms with the former shading the vote. Bamako Beach looks the pick of the 3-y-os and also needs considering.

Verdict
Showed plenty when just denied in maidens at Naas/Gowran and wasn't disgraced having been set a very stiff task when 7 lengths seventh of 9 in Irish 2000 Guineas at the Curragh. Had no trouble landing the odds back in maiden company at Fairyhouse since and he's still not the finished article.

Verdict
Listed winner at 2 yrs and good fourth in the Craven at Newmarket on 3-y-o return. Not at that level since but showed useful form on second start for this yard when resuming winning ways with something to spare at Gowran 23 days ago.

Verdict
Attracted support and bounced back to form to win for the first time since his debut in 15-runner C&D event in June. Shaped better than the bare result at the Galway Festival next 2 starts and good chance he can resume winning ways on these terms.

Verdict
Progressive Frankel colt who had no trouble landing the odds in Limerick maiden on third start. Collared only close home by a useful sort in 3-runner event at Killarney since and he probably has more to offer still down in trip.

Verdict
Travelled fluently when doubling her tally in apprentice handicap at Leopardstown (soft) in June. Disappointed back on faster ground in Group 3 there since but she did take a strong hold that day. Type to bounce back and she's capable of going close at this level.

Verdict
Lightly raced but useful at best for Charlie Appleby. Step back in the right direction when beaten just over 3 lengths on final start for B. Seemar at Meydan in January. Subsequently picked up for £64,000 by a good yard and might have needed his first start for them at Killarney last month.

Half-brother to smart winner up to 6f Eddie's Boy. Justified support when making a winning start in comfortable fashion in ordinary Naas maiden almost a year ago. Off since (has been gelded) and headgear now applied. No easy task.

Unbeaten in 3 starts for M. Jodlowski in Poland but ran poorly despite having been strong in the betting on handicap/yard debut at Naas on return in May. First-time tongue tie applied and still early days with this stable.
