Landed a win two starts back but was well beaten last time out, and while she has run over today's trip and going, a rating of 90 ranking her seventh of eleven and 128 lb to carry leave her with plenty to find.

Bellesque comes into this off a poor eighth last time out, and with our rating of 85 ranking her ninth of eleven, she is hard to fancy at face value; a win three starts back and experience over today's trip and going are the modest positives.

Blonde Over Blue won three starts back and returns on a sharp 21-day turnaround having already shown she handles today's trip and conditions; the risk is whether her two subsequent below-par efforts represent a genuine downturn in form.

Ibelieveicanfly won two starts back and has experience over today's trip and conditions, and at 128 lb from stall one she arrives in good order on 21 days' rest — a fourth last time out is the only note of caution, but her overall profile makes her our call here.

Lady Patrona arrives on the back of a win two starts back and a third last time out, returning on a sharp seven-day turnaround with distance and going experience in her favour; the weight burden of 128 lb from stall 10 is the one factor to keep an eye on.

Maire Rua won two starts back and was third last time out, showing consistent recent form, and she has run over today's distance and going before; carrying 128 lb from stall 11 on a rating of 93 leaves her with something to find on the figures.

Snowing returns just 11 days on from a runner-up finish, and has twice placed second in recent starts, showing clear ability, yet she remains winless in her last four outings and that consistency without reward is the concern here.

Ibelieveicanfly leads the field on SR at 107, a meaningful edge over Maire Rua (SR 105) and Timeless Tale (SR 105), and crucially carries the Ryan Moore booking — a jockey with a 24% career strike rate in over 1,000 rides who rarely partners non-starters for A P O'Brien (23% trainer strike rate, the strongest in the field). The form figure of 42414 shows consistent competitiveness at this level and the horse ran in a Class 1 last time, so ClassMv:= confirms no step up into the unknown. The 20% market drift is the main concern, but Moore/A P O'Brien retained for a Listed race on this profile often signals the yard's genuine number-one string — the stablemate Snowing draws a junior booking (Boudot, 66 career rides) and a DistFit:- flag, confirming Ibelieveicanfly is the yard's intended runner. The headgear addition (hood, HG:h) suggests connections are seeking improved focus, a typical A P O'Brien Listed-day sharpener.
Each-way alternative: Maire Rua.
Main danger: Maire Rua — Maire Rua (SR 105, 2/1 favourite, market shortened 16%) holds a Course:W1P1 course record that Ibelieveicanfly lacks, is trained by G M Lyons (16% strike rate) with Colin Keane aboard (16% career strike rate, 2,283 rides), and the form figure of 13 — a Listed placing then a win — is notably tighter and more upwardly progressive than Ibelieveicanfly's mixed 42414 sequence.

20% market drift out to 3/1 is a concrete negative signal — in a Listed field with sharp connections, money leaving this horse specifically suggests insiders are not confident today.
Form figure 42414 shows the horse has not won its last four starts; its sole recent win (the '1') came amid a sequence of placed/beaten efforts, raising questions about ability to convert at Listed l…
Maire Rua (SR:105, 2/1 market leader) is trading shorter and drifting IN at 16%, with Course:W1P1 — the market is actively preferring a rival who is fresher (only 2 runs, form 13) and course-proven.
Hood (HG:h) is a first-time headgear addition; on a 2yo filly in a Listed race this can indicate a temperament or focus issue that hasn't been solved — an unknown variable on the day rather than a gu…
