Verdict

THUNDERING ON was below expectations in the Pretty Polly but she has to be given another chance to build on an exceptional performance when winning the Oaks at Epsom. Ribblesdale 1-2 Earth Shot and Johanna Walsh are both going the right way and may be best placed to capitalise if the favourite fails to fire.

11	Navan Group 3 winner who looked right out of the top drawer when blowing apart the Oaks at Epsom (1½m, good to soft) next time. Not in same form when 2½ lengths fourth of 8 in Pretty Polly Stakes here (1¼m, good to firm) 21 days ago but was found to be coughing post race and remains the one to beat. 1st Pick 11 Thundering On Jockey: D.

5	Looked exciting when landing the odds in a Newmarket maiden (1¼m) prior to going close in a Newmarket listed event. Continued her upward curve when winning 12-runner Ribblesdale Stakes at Royal Ascot (1½m) 30 days ago by head from Johanna Walsh, responding well to lead late on. Can do better again. 2nd Pick 5 Earth Shot (Ire) Jockey: James Doyle Trainer: William Haggas J: James Doyle T: William Haggas	91	-	-	-	34%

7	€460,000 Sea The Stars filly who came good at the third time of asking in maiden at Leopardstown (1¼m) in May. Much improved form upped in grade when a head second of 12 to Earth Shot in Ribblesdale Stakes at Royal Ascot (1½m), her inexperience perhaps just costing her. Should improve again. 3rd Pick 7 Johanna Walsh (Ire) Jockey: D. B. Mcmonagle Trainer: Joseph Patrick O'brien, Ireland J: D. B. Mcmonagle T: Joseph Patrick O'brien, Ireland	90	-	-	-	23%
