13:40 Sierra Nevada

Despite her lack of experience, it is tempting to take a chance with SIERRA NEVADA, a half-sister to her trainer’s National Stakes winner Pathfork. Esculenta was second at Punchestown, but could not be guaranteed to uphold form with fifth-placed Perfect Thunder or with West Coast who has another run under her belt now.

NEW TO PADDY POWER?

14:15 Sir Antonino

A couple of potentially interesting newcomers, notably Beauty Amazed and Star Of India, but perhaps SIR ANTONINO will put the experience of his Curragh debut to good use.

14:50 Tut Tut

A slipped saddle left TUT TUT with no chance at Naas last Sunday. Jessica Harrington’s Listowel nursery winner may go in again off 4lbs higher. On these terms she has a realistic chance of reversing previous Curragh form with Nectarine, up 8lbs for winning over 1m here last Saturday. Past Time, a beaten favourite at Navan on Wednesday, is not out of it.

15:25 Njord

This is a hot Listed race and perhaps NJORD, fourth in a Group 2 event here three starts back will collect after contesting Group 1 events at Longchamp and Ascot. There could be more to come from Masen, a big handicap winner here from San Andreas last time. At their best Current Option and Snaepraeterea would feature.

16:00 Avagardner

Plenty of these make some appeal, but arguably none as much as AVAGARDNER (NAP) who can step up again after a 6-furlong win at the Curragh on only her second start of the season. Young Angel should go close on her first 7-furlong attempt. Coins Cross and Big Baby Bull may also feature.

16:35 Rosmana

Knocking on the door lately, including when not getting the clearest of runs at Navan last time, ROSMANA looks sure to give backers a big run today. Plume Noire tackles handicaps after a smart maiden win and is respected, while Dream Tale and He Knows No Fear go well at this course and are dangers.

17:10 Grenoble

This looks very open. Boundless Ocean is of obvious interest, having looked unlucky in the Killavullan Stakes here a week ago. However, it looks significant that GRENOBLE is sent over by William Haggas and he will have no trouble with this trip, so can score. Anchorage looks the best of the Ballydoyle pair, while Voice Of Angels and French Claim are amongst others to worry about.

17:40 Takeachancejimmy

A very difficult finale, but it could pay to take a chance on TAKEACHANCEJIMMY who was running on strongly over 1m at the Curragh last time and stays this far. Dublin Journal, Pachmena, Rebel Tale and Malbas are all strong contenders.
