She has to give weight away to the field which will take a bit of doing, but her class will help. The form of her fifth place in a Group 1 at Ascot last October is working out very well. The winner has since landed the Group 1 Coronation Cup while the third reappeared this season to win a Group 3 in the Curragh. The horse a place behind Rosscarbery in sixth has been successful in a Group 3 and in a Listed race. Rosscarbery has won off a break before. Twomey also saddles Final Gesture who was impressive in taking a Listed race by five lengths in Gowran Park last month. That was her Irish debut after winning twice in France. She has the race-fitness advantage on her stablemate. This trip, better ground and first-time blinkers could elicit a big run from Library. Her dam actually won this race in 2015. Azazat was very good in Leopardstown and will welcome the forecast rain. None of the remainder can be ruled out with confidence. 6.00 Cork Irish Stallion Farms EBF Midsummer Sprint Stakes (Listed) GO ATHLETICO is an eye-catching recruit for Ado McGuinness. This five-year-old French gelding won eight times in his native country including when last seen in Listed company in April. His mark entitles him to maximum respect. Ano Syra couldn't land a glove in third on the winner at the Curragh in May, however, that was in Group 2 company and it was her first run back. Last season's Rockingham winner has the attributes for this fast 5f. Catherine Of Siena stayed on to get to within a neck of the winner in Listed class at Chelmsford City in April which brings her into the equation. Lady Tilbury is well versed at running in quality sprints. Anthem National came in fifth in good races at Naas and the Curragh last month, and has a role to play. 7.10 Cork Derby (H’cap) GOLDEN TWILIGHT has claims over this trip. He travelled notably well before dropping to third over 1m6f at the Curragh last month. He certainly knows where the winning post is with five career victories, including three over this distance. First-time cheekpieces are applied. Star Kissed has two wins and two close second places among her five races to date. She is still growing into her frame, but should be deeply involved. Morph Speed was only caught close home over slightly further in Leopardstown which gives him claims. The handicapper has dropped Safecracker by 3lb. He was only 1lb lower when runner-up in a premier handicap at the Curragh last September. Spasiba is entitled to come on from an unplaced comeback run at Killarney. A combination of a tongue-strap and cheekpieces go on. Pralognan and Rich Belief are others to consider. Please gamble responsibly, 18+
