Wednesday, Naas, post time: 18:40, AL SHIRA'AA RACING IRISH EBF JANNAH ROSE STAKES-G3, €42,000, 3yo, f, 10f 84yT
Field: And So To Bed (Ire) (Kodiac {GB}), Barnavara (Ire) (Calyx {GB}), Bellacanta (Ire) (Gregorian {Ire}), Bonnie Moon (Fr) (Le Havre {Ire}), Butterfly Wings (Justify), Calrissiana (GB) (Too Darn Hot {GB}), Darzina (Ire) (Siyouni {Fr}), Dawn Spirit (Ire) (Australia {GB}), Faiyum (GB) (Frankel {GB}), Medici Venus (Tiz The Law), Tamam Desert (Ire) (Sea The Moon {Ger}).
TDN Verdict: Upped in trip after wins at Naas and Killarney, Juddmonte's unbeaten Faiyum is the exciting one in this line-up but she will have to prove herself against a smart yardstick in Barnavara. Third in last year's G2 Debutante Stakes at The Curragh, she was a neck behind the subsequent G1 Coronation Stakes heroine Cercene when they filled the paces in that track's G3 Athasi Stakes before upsetting Faiyum's classy stablemate Red Letter in Navan's Listed Kooyonga Stakes on her last two starts. Also up from a mile, she faces another unexposed type in the Gowran maiden winner Darzina who is bred to relish this kind of trip. [Tom Frary].
Wednesday, Carlisle, post time: 15:45, THE IRISH STALLION FARMS EBF ETERNAL STAKES-Listed, £47,000, 3yo, f, 6f 195yT
Field: Glamis Road (Ire) (Kodiac {GB}), Anshoda (Ire) (Inns Of Court {Ire}), Beaujolais Nouveau (GB) (Twilight Son {GB}), Fleetwater (GB) (Ardad {Ire}), Love Talk (Ire) (Ten Sovereigns {Ire}), Saqqara Sands (GB) (Oasis Dream {GB}), The Third Star (GB) (Iffraaj {GB}), Verse Of Love (GB) (Siyouni {Fr}).
TDN Verdict: TDN Rising Star Verse Of Love returns after a brief break having had two quickfire runs in the spring and retains abundant potential for Godolphin as a relative of the triple Australian Group 1 winner Avilius by Siyouni's sire Pivotal. Her biggest threat may come from Saqqara Sands, who put up a big performance on her seasonal bow when second to Formal in Epsom's Listed Surrey Stakes. [Tom Frary].
