CARLA RIDGE could be a shade of value on her handicap debut. There was plenty of merit in her placed efforts in Listed and Group 3 company at Naas over the summer. The last couple of winners of this sprint have been drawn high and she is housed in stall 22. British raider Tuco Salamanca was a ready winner on soft ground at Yarmouth before following up in good style at Newcastle, so is particularly dangerous. Rain is music to the ears of connections of Go Athletico, who could be coming home better than most. Big Gossey, who won this race two years ago, Sarahmae, stablemates Keke and Heavenly Power and the intriguing handicap debutant Bounty are among a whole host of horses with chances.
Plenty to consider closely in this massive-field sprint handicap. BIG GOSSEY has shown this season that he still retains enough ability as an 8yo to suggest he has a big chance off this mark and, with his liking for The Curragh plain to see, can land a third win this event following successes in 2023 and 2021. It's fair to assume this race would have long been in connections' thinking. In-form 3yo Gazelle D'Or has also shown a liking for this track and may be next best ahead of stable debutant Sir Les Patterson, who was in good form when last seen out in June. Kendall Roy, Tropical Retreat and Kodiac Thriller are among the many others to consider.
5l winner in a novice over 7f at Leicester on debut; wide draw; represents yard with a wealth of 2yo talent and very much respected.
Dam won twice at 7f. A winner at 14-1 at Leicester over 7f (good to firm) on his latest outing last month, beating Quadrillion by 5l.

JOYFUL TIDINGS has the big advantage of winning his maiden on rain-softened ground at Tipperary. He went off favourite for that debut run and the runner-up has endorsed the form in no uncertain terms by winning twice since, including in Listed company. Karl Burke's Alparslan was an emphatic winner of a novice stakes at Leicester and holds a Group 1 entry, so his chance is respected. Ger Lyons is having a good season with his juveniles and his representative By The Lake held on by a neck to make a winning start in Naas. Blingy's Sister was beaten into second at Chester by a horse who has some eyecatching entries, so her chance shouldn't be underestimated.
Plenty of dead wood in a race in which only a handful appeal as likely winners. BLINGY'S SISTER was a debut winner who stepped up on that form when a good, clear second at Chester last time and a repeat of that level of performance may well be good enough. Listed-placed Magny Cours has the form to be the main danger ahead of debut winners (and possible improvers) Joyful Tidings and By The Lake.
Yard won this last year; outstayed runner-up late and going away line, won 6f Gr 2 here last time in June; highly likely to improve again for 7f; this is harder but has to be respected.
Half-sister to Library, won twice at 7f and 1m 2f. A winner at 2-1 here over 6f (good) on her latest outing in June, beating Lady Iman by 2l.

A mouthwatering clash between COMPOSING and the unbeaten Venetian Sun, with preference for the former. Aidan O'Brien's charge is proven over 7f and is on a four-timer after victories in a maiden and a Group 2 over C&D that sandwich a Group 3 in Leopardstown. Slower ground shouldn't inconvenience her as her dam was very proficient in testing conditions. Venetian Sun is the highest rated on 113 after four wins culminating in a Group 1 at Deauville. She is a massive player and her trainer won this race two years ago, but she is trying a new trip. Composing's stablemate Beautify took a notable scalp when victorious in a Group 2 over 6f here and has plenty of upside.
The market looks to have called it right with COMPOSING and Venetian Sun standing out. The latter is already proven at Group 1 level after taking her unbeaten record to four in the Prix Morny last time and is a big danger but preference is for Composing, who is most progressive and, perhaps significantly, is already proven at 7f with some cut in the ground. She won well in a Gr 2 last time and can make a successful step up to the top table now. Beautify is another highly promising Aidan O'Brien-trained filly and she is best of the rest.
First run at 5f for nearly two years but his good record here does include a 5f Gr 3 success earlier in 2023; promising return here last month and, likely to be sharper now, has claims.
Has won nine races from 5f to 6f on ground varying from good to yielding - soft and on the all-weather. Finished 2l behind Bucanero Fuerte when fourth of 12 at 18-1 on his latest outing here over 6f (good) last month.

BUCANERO FUERTE is in terrific form and could bring up his hat-trick. His seasonal reappearance saw him take a Listed race at Naas in May and he then made all in a Group 3 over 6f at this venue in August. He is already a winner at the highest level at the Curragh and is four from six here, including on attritional ground over this trip on debut. Australian representative Asfoora has been garnering plenty of headlines since winning the Nunthorpe at York last month. She brings a lot of class to this sprint and is likely to be right there at the business end. Two Stars is up in grade, but is going the right way and conditions will suit.
An open renewal which may go to ARIZONA BLAZE, who ran a rare below-par race last time but who has leading form prospects on his earlier efforts, including a Group 2 win here in July. It may be significant that David Egan evidently prefers him to stablemate Bucanero Fuerte, a very good winner here last time and who may be the main danger. Mgheera has possibilities on her win at Haydock in May and, with this less fast surface a likely plus for her, may be best of the rest. Asfoora has the best form in the race courtesy of her last-time-out win in the Nunthorpe but she does seem well suited by rattling fast ground, so this less fast surface is a slight concern for her.
Yard has won three of last 10 runnings; C&D maiden win (made all) in June but looked beaten fair and square behind Zavateri in Gr 2 at Goodwood last time; big improvement needed.

Charlie Appleby has a really good National Stakes record and SABA DESERT can give him a fourth success in this Group 1 contest. The Dubawi colt still looked a touch green when winning the Superlative Stakes at Newmarket back in July, but also showed a smart turn of foot to quicken up and run out an impressive winner. There looks to be scope for plenty more improvement from him. Gstaad was turned over in France last time, but was beaten by a good filly in Venetian Sun and Aidan O'Brien expects him to relish the step up to 7f. The other English raider Zavateri brings an unbeaten record into the race and also commands respect.
Ready preference is for GSTAAD, who has the best form courtesy of his close second in the Group 1 Prix Morny at Deauville last time when finishing well and giving the strong impression that this step up to 7f would suit him better. Unbeaten Zavateri brings good form too and, proven at 7f and with his excellent attitude a real asset, may be next best ahead of the selection's stablemate Italy, who has still looked raw and has further progress in him. Saba Desert, the unbeaten conqueror of Italy last time at Newmarket in July, has to be respected too.
Below-par over 2m at York latest; normally reliable and classy sort for whom 14f is a better fit and has place claims here.
Has won 11 races from 7f to 1m 7f on ground varying from good to firm to soft and on the all-weather. Finished 8l behind Trawlerman when fourth of 6 at 11-2 on his latest outing in the Group 2 Weatherbys Lonsdale Cup Stakes at York over 2m (good to firm) last month. Has won 3 times this season.

AL RIFFA was impressive when stepping up to this trip for the first time in the Curragh Cup and the classy middle-distance performer can strike again at the top level. He pulled clear in fine style over C&D in July and softer ground now wouldn't be an issue. A real test of stamina would suit Illinois and he's the obvious danger. The Galileo colt was runner-up in the St Leger at Doncaster last season and filled the same position in the Gold Cup this year. The progressive Amiloc is another who has to come into calculations. The unbeaten Postponed gelding makes his first start since winning the Group 2 King Edward VII at Royal Ascot.
With due respect to unbeaten 3yo Amiloc, this is likely to come down to a duel between proven Group 1 performers AL RIFFA and Illinois. The latter continues to run consistently well, including recent seconds in the Group 1 Ascot and Goodwood Cups while this shorter trip is fine and it's possible that cheekpieces can squeeze out a bit more too. They will need to though as dual Group 1 winner Al Riffa has slightly superior form while he proved his stamina for this trip when winning here last time. Amiloc can take minor honours ahead of Al Qareem.
Possibly made too much use of upped to 12f latest; useful C&D handicap win the time before but up against it in this company.

RED LETTER comes here on a roll and can take another step up the ladder. The Frankel filly has bagged Listed and Group 3 prizes on her last two starts and was good when winning over nine furlongs here on her latest outing. Going up another furlong now should be no problem and she is versatile ground-wise. One Look is an obvious danger and has already bagged two Group 3 races here this term. The consistent Snellen was a game winner at Leopardstown latest and should be in the mix again.
Ready preference is for ONE LOOK, who has the best form and is particularly effective at this track, as she underlined with a career-best performance to win over this trip (her first run at 10f) here last time. She can see off main danger Red Letter, who has been progressing nicely, should stay 10f fine and could well come on again this time too. Snellen is the other main form contender but there are doubts about both 10f and this ground for her so minor honours may be claimed by potential improver Tarima, who is a close relative of star filly Tarnawa, who won this for these connections in 2019.
Won this last year; ran to form when a bit too keen and beaten 5l in the Ballyroan Stakes (Group 3) over 12f at Leopardstown last time; usually consistent with a significant jockey booking; effective 10-12f but current mark looks about right.
Successful twice at 1m 2f on good ground; has also won a NH flat race. Finished 5l behind Sons And Lovers when fifth of 6 at 22-1 on his latest outing in the Group 3 Tote Ballyroan Stakes at Leopardstown over 1m 4f (good) last month.

English raider CROWN OF OAKS is hard to ignore running under a penalty in this. The Wootton Bassett gelding was a very easy winner at Ascot last weekend with cut in the ground and there should be more to come. Sujet won a big pot here in June and remains relatively unexposed. He comes here on the back of a win at Killarney and commands respect. Glen To Glen was beaten at a short price over course and distance on his latest outing in July, but is tried in blinkers now.
Tough to get away from UK raider CROWN OF OAKS who is thrown in if turned out quickly following an impressive win at Ascot last week. He recorded a rating 7lb higher than this mark and is open to further progress over 10f where he is unbeaten. Sujet made amends for an expensive defeat at Galway last time and is open to further progress back up in trip back in a handicap. He looks the main danger along with the consistent Glen To Glen who has been highly tried but has shaped as if he can win off his current mark. Of those at bigger prices another British runner Tony Montana makes some small appeal. He hasn't built on a promising return but the handicapper is finally relenting.
