10/1

Maxux³⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: M P Sheehy| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 97| CD

12/1

Thrice-raced winner. C&D winner. 5¾ lengths sixth of 14 to Unless in listed race (11/1) at the Curragh (10f, good) 34 days ago, nearest finish. Trainer going well but this demands plenty more.

Form: 196

Sounds Of Heaven⁴⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: R P Whelan| T: Mrs J Harrington| OR: 108

5/1

Smart filly. Latest win at York in May and excellent third in Coronation Stakes at Royal Ascot. 77/10, only 9¾ lengths sixth of 9 to Mqse De Sevigne in Prix Rothschild at Deauville (8f, good to soft) 48 days ago. Lightly raced and worth another chance.

Form: 41-136

(6)

Starry Heavens^p¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: C T Keane| T: Mrs J Harrington| OR: 99

8/1

Fairly useful filly. Career best when winning 9-runner listed race at Longchamp (10.4f, good, 14/1) 16 days ago by neck from The Last Waltz. Uphill task here, though.

Form: 6-54411

(9)

Time To Boogie¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: G M Ryan| T: A P O'Brien| OR: 75| BF

12/1

Thrice-raced winner. 1 win from 2 runs this year. Won 13-runner maiden at Navan (8f, good to soft, 10/3) 14 days ago, well on top finish. Trainer going well so she's no forlorn hope.

Form: 4-91

(2)

Village Voice⁴⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: S Foley| T: Mrs J Harrington| OR: 103

7/2

Lightly-raced winner. 1 win from 3 runs this year. Latest win at Navan in April. 5/1, creditable 3 lengths second of 11 to Jackie Oh in Gr 3 at this course (9f, soft) 49 days ago. One for the shortlist.

Form: 13-102

Forecasts

Village Voice (7/2), American Sonja (4/1), Sounds Of Heaven (5/1), Starry Heavens (8/1), Kerkiyra (8/1), Pink Carnation (10/1), Empress Of Beauty (10/1), Maxux (12/1), Time To Boogie (12/1), Joupe (20/1), Lady Lunette (25/1), Flame Of Eire (25/1)

An open Group 3 contest in which it could pay to give another chance to SOUNDS OF HEAVEN who wasn't at her best when sixth in Deauville's Prix Rothschild last time but holds leading claims on her Coronation Stakes third at the Royal meeting. Empress of Beauty has better days ahead of her and could emerge as the chief threat ahead of Village Voice and Lady Lunette.
