Here, Honestly Ambassador Moore will complete his five rides on Saturday.

Whispering words

A mark of 88 looks good on her form so far over 7f/1m and this Dubawi filly could well be suited for the step up to 1m2f on her handicap debut.

You can of course ignore her run last time and this Frankel filly had previously run well in the Windsor defeat.

However, she is 4lb higher here and is unproven over 1m4f, but she is clearly lightly played and her pedigree would give you quite a bit of confidence that this longer journey would suit.

Meditate

I suspect Inspiral will be tough to beat if she brings her A-game, but that said, the French horse is bidding for her third consecutive Group 1 and has much the same level of form, albeit on an easier surface.

Any drying out of the ground will be to my filly’s advantage and hopefully she showed for the first time last time that she was on her way back in the Matron Stakes.

If you ignore her runs on soft ground, she has actually reached a consistently good level this season and will hopefully have sharpened up for that run during a break at Leopardstown last time.

She has a fighting chance against the top two. when she is at her best.

Classic encounter

The betting would have you believe they expected more from him on his debut, but they have ruined him since and hopefully this well-bred son of Shamardal and Grade 1 winner Zhukova can show much more here.

Military leader

He cost quite a bit as a yearling, not surprising as a Dubawi colt from a very good family on the distaff side and as a half-brother to this season’s third Sounds Of Heaven of Coronation Stakes.

I don’t know anything about him, to be honest, but the horses ridden don’t seem to set the bar too high.
