Emulous heads Matron field Last year's winner Emulous heads 14 remaining entries for Saturday's Fusaichi Pegasus Matron Stakes at Leopardstown. The Dermot Weld-trained mare will be bidding to bounce back to form after a disappointing showing in the Windsor Forest Stakes when last seen at Royal Ascot in June. Jersey Stakes winner Ishvana heads a team of five from Aidan O'Brien which also includes Up, Soon, Maybe and After. David Wachman's progressive Duntle and John Oxx's Alanza are also among those to stand their ground. Three British raiders could line up with Chachamaidee, Nahrain and Laugh Out Loud the potential contenders for the Group One honours. Sir Henry Cecil's Chachamaidee has shown her best form at Goodwood, where she won the Lennox Stakes, while Roger Varian will be hoping for better from Nahrain, who has failed to reproduce her form of 2011 when she won the Prix de l'Opera and finished second at the Breeders' Cup. Prix de Sandringham winner Laugh Out Loud could represent Mick Channon. Paddy Power bet: 7-2 Emulous, 5-1 Duntle, 6-1 Chachamaidee, Maybe, 9-1 Laugh Out Loud, 10-1 Alanza, Ishvana, Nahrain, Up, 16-1 Ballybacka Lady, 20-1 La Collina, 25-1 After, Soon, 33 Marvada.
