Verdict

IPANEMA BEACH sets a clear standard on his third at the Curragh in June and he's fancied to get back on the up in first-time blinkers. Celestial Siren wasn't beaten far in a Leopardstown maiden that's working out well and is the main danger if seeing out the longer trip. Of the rest, Strikewhileitshot had no chance behind an exciting prospect last time and can be competitive in this sort of company, while My Corbett Court has stamina to prove but has shown signs of promise for his shrewd yard.

4	Chased home a pair of Ballydoyle improvers when third at Curragh (7f) in June but ran below form when sixth of 8 in maiden at Killarney (8.1f, good to soft, 8/1) 45 days ago, hung right. Still sets the standard on previous form and looks worth another chance in more severe headgear. 1st Pick 4 Ipanema Beach (Ire) Jockey: P. A. Harnett Trainer: Donnacha Aidan O'brien, Ireland J: P. A.

1	Showed ability on debut and ran to a similar level when 11/4, seventh of 15 in maiden at Leopardstown (7.2f, good) 42 days ago. That race has produced a few winners and she has claims if seeing out this longer trip. 2nd Pick 1 Celestial Siren (Ire) Jockey: Ben Martin Coen Trainer: Andrew Oliver, Ireland J: Ben Martin Coen T: Andrew Oliver, Ireland	91	-	-	-	23%

6	Stepped forward from debut when finishing a well-held second of 9 in maiden at Leopardstown (8f, good, 33/1) 21 days ago, better placed than most and no match for promising winner. Could improve again, for all we'll likely see the best of him in nurseries. 3rd Pick 6 Strikewhileitshot Jockey: N. M. Crosse Trainer: Mrs J. Harrington, Ireland J: N. M. Crosse T: Mrs J.
