1. Blue Bangor
Odds: 40/1
Bookmaker: Betvictor
This two-year-old is making his debut, and although not much is known, his odds suggest he may be up against it today.
Tip: Likely to be an outsider in this field but could be worth watching for future races.
2. Corcovado
Odds: 10/1
Bookmaker: Unibet
Corcovado ran a promising race on debut and could step forward here with Seamie Heffernan in the saddle.
Tip: Worth an each-way chance if he can improve on his first outing.
3. Full Power
Odds: 7/2
Bookmaker: Bet365
Ryan Moore rides for A P O’Brien, and this colt looks set to challenge based on his connections, despite a modest debut performance.
Tip: Has strong potential to improve and should be considered for a win.
4. Hostility
Odds: 10/3
Bookmaker: Betvictor
Hostility ran a solid second in his last start and seems ready to push on from that with Wayne Hassett aboard for Joseph O’Brien.
Tip: Could be in the frame for victory, having already shown ability.
5. Saracen
Odds: 9/4
Bookmaker: Unibet
A well-regarded newcomer from the Joseph O’Brien stable, Saracen is expected to show a strong debut run under Dylan Browne McMonagle.
Tip: Likely to be the main contender based on stable reputation and jockey booking.
6. Taudeni
Odds: 25/1
Bookmaker: Bet365
Has shown some ability in previous runs but might find this competition a bit too hot to handle today.
Tip: Could struggle to make an impact in this stronger field.
7. The Duke Mardukas
Odds: 14/1
Bookmaker: Betvictor
A debutant from the J P Murtagh yard, The Duke Mardukas has a good pedigree but may need this run for experience.
Tip: Interesting newcomer who could outrun his odds with a solid performance.
8. Wish This
Odds: 16/1
Bookmaker: Unibet
Has shown glimpses of ability in previous runs but may need further improvement to be competitive in this field.
Tip: Place claims at best, though others look stronger on paper.
9. Harlem Playgirl
Odds: 50/1
Bookmaker: Bet365
Finished well down the field in her only start and would need to show significant improvement to feature here.
Tip: Best watched for now unless there’s a sudden upturn in form.
10. Kasjopea
Odds: 100/1
Bookmaker: Betvictor
Has yet to show much in her first couple of starts and looks unlikely to figure here.
Tip: Outsider with little form to recommend.
11. Petite Madame
Odds: 66/1
Bookmaker: Unibet
Another long-shot who has yet to show anything in her limited outings.
Tip: Unlikely to make an impact based on current form.
12. Pickersgill
Odds: 11/2
Bookmaker: Bet365
Pickersgill has shown solid form in her last run and could be in with a chance of breaking her maiden here.
Tip: Likely to be in the mix and could challenge the favourites.
13. Report To Station
Odds: 33/1
Bookmaker: Betvictor
A debut runner who might be here to gain experience rather than challenge for the win today.
Tip: Likely to need the run and best watched for now.
Verdict
Saracen looks poised for a strong debut and is the one to beat. Hostility has already proven his ability and could be the main danger, while Pickersgill may surprise with a strong showing.

After a win two starts ago, Mile End disappointed last time but could bounce back with the right conditions.

Odds: 12/1
Bookmaker: Bet365
Although showing promise earlier this year, Miss Black Jack has struggled of late, but could surprise if returning to her best.

Odds: 6/1

Tip: Might be worth a bet for those seeking value, as he’s coming back into form.

Bookmaker: Betvictor

This runner hasn’t been at his best this season but has a chance to turn things around in this race.
Tip: Outside chance, but might need everything to go right to be in contention.
9. Clonmacash
Odds: 16/1
Bookmaker: Unibet

Odds: 25/1
Bookmaker: Bet365
Hasn’t been able to replicate his early form and is an outsider in this field.
Tip: Needs a big turnaround in form to have any chance of featuring.

Odds: 14/1
Bookmaker: Betvictor
Although consistent earlier in the season, The Bear Trap hasn’t hit the frame recently, but still holds place potential.

12. Mount Ruapehu
Odds: 7/1
Bookmaker: Unibet

With a recent win under his belt, Run Forrest Run may be able to put up another strong performance, though he’s up in class.
Tip: Worth considering for an each-way chance, but the competition is tougher here.
14. Sakakawea
Odds: 10/1
Bookmaker: Betvictor
Improving steadily with a win last time out, Sakakawea is on the up and could have more to offer.
Tip: Could be the surprise package, worth backing for another solid performance.

1. And So To Bed
Odds: 22/1
Bookmaker: Bet365

Tip: Unlikely to challenge for the win but could surprise with an each-way bet.
2. Celtic Motif
Odds: 9/1
Bookmaker: Betvictor
Consistent without winning, Celtic Motif has shown promise with a trio of third-place finishes. She’s knocking on the door and could finally break through here.
Tip: One to consider for a place finish or a possible surprise win.
3. Cercene
Odds: 6/1
Bookmaker: Unibet
After breaking her maiden in her last start, Cercene comes in with confidence and could build on that effort. She’ll need to step up in this class, but she’s improving.

4. Copacabana Sands
Odds: 66/1
Bookmaker: Bet365
Copacabana Sands has struggled to make an impact so far and looks outclassed here, though there could be room for minor improvement.
Tip: A long shot; best avoided in this company.
5. Famed Again
Odds: 50/1
Bookmaker: Betvictor
Has shown glimpses of ability but has yet to prove herself at this level, and the form isn’t strong enough for a Group 3 contest.
Tip: Looks out of her depth here; best left out of calculations.
6. Fiona Maccoul
Odds: 28/1
Bookmaker: Unibet
Fiona Maccoul recently picked up her first victory, but she’ll face a tough step up in class here. Improvement is needed, but she could still surprise.
Tip: Likely to struggle, but an outsider with potential for small improvement.
7. Giselle
Odds: 11/10
Bookmaker: Bet365
Giselle has been impressive in her two starts, winning comfortably last time out. She’s the clear favorite and will be hard to beat if she maintains her form.

10. Mint Candy
Odds: 22/1
Bookmaker: Bet365
Mint Candy has done well to break her maiden recently, though she may find this company too strong.

11. Tamam Desert
Odds: 14/1
Bookmaker: Betvictor
A recent winner, Tamam Desert will need to improve dramatically to compete with the top fillies in this race, but she has shown some potential.
Tip: Not without a chance but needs to take a big step forward.
12. Whirl
Odds: 8/1
Bookmaker: Unibet
Whirl is another promising filly from the O’Brien stable and recently got off the mark with a win. She’s expected to show further improvement and could be a real player here.

Verdict
Giselle looks set to maintain her unbeaten run and is the one to beat in this field. Whirl and Island Hopping can provide stiff competition, while Cercene is an interesting each-way option

10. Realt Na Ri
Odds: 6/1
Bookmaker: Bet365
Has shown ability and could be in with a shout, though she’ll need to bring her A-game to topple some of the more fancied runners.

Bookmaker: Betvictor
Smooth Tom’s latest efforts have been solid, with a good win earlier this season. Could have a chance if he builds on recent form.

7. Chally Chute
Best Odds: 9/4
Bookmaker: Bet365
Chally Chute has been performing consistently and is rightly favored in this contest. He’s in good form and should be a strong contender.
Tip: Looks the one to beat and has excellent chances of landing the win.
8. Grappa Nonino
Best Odds: 20/1
Bookmaker: Unibet
Grappa Nonino has yet to build on some promising early-season runs and will need a sharp improvement to challenge the top runners here.
Tip: Unlikely to cause an upset but could place with a big performance.
9. Sonnyboyliston
Best Odds: 16/1
Bookmaker: Betvictor
Returning from a long break, Sonnyboyliston’s fitness is a concern, and he might need this run to get back into form.

18. Warazam
Best Odds: 7/1
