Comanche Brave

9st 8lb

J: Billy Loughnane

T: Donnacha Aidan O’Brien

Prevailed at the Curragh in May to break his Group 2 duck; not disgraced in the 6f Group 1 at Royal Ascot since but that seventh-place finish confirms his slight limitations at the top level; will find better opportunities when back down in class.

J: Paddy Harnett

T: Donnacha Aidan O’Brien

Curragh 2yo maiden has been highly-tried this season, career-best when beaten 3.5l in Group 3 Ballysax Stakes over this trip; Group 3 Gallinule run since not quite as good, but nonetheless sets a good standard dropped in grade here.

Balantina

J: Oisin Murphy

T: Donnacha Aidan O’Brien

2yo campaign concluded with a win in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf (1m, firm); reappeared with respectable fifth to Precise in the Group 1 Coronation Stakes at Royal Ascot (1m, good to firm) last month, when she got warm beforehand and weakened late on; could show the benefit of that outing and pose a bigger threat today; trainer won this in 2024 with Porta Fortuna.

A Boy Named Susie

8st 13lb

J: Oisin Murphy

T: Donnacha Aidan O’Brien

Record of 0-6 since debut success doesn't tell the whole story as he's shown progressive form behind Ballydoyle colts, including the subsequent Derby winner, in last four appearances; did well to finish fourth in the French Derby (10.5f, good) most recently, having met traffic issues and come from a lot further back than the first three; provided the cards drop more kindly, has possibilities in this intriguing rematch with Constitution River and Hawk Mountain.

Tradewinds

9st 7lb

J: Gavin Ryan

T: Donnacha Aidan O’Brien

Modest run on debut at Navan (6f, good) but much better twice since when a 2l third at the Curragh (6f, gd-yld,) and a 5.5l second at Down Royal (5f, soft); the form of that Curragh run was boosted by Sirocco Sands at York last weekend; solid claims.
