FormscanBy Donal Murphy - TREASURE TROVE is the stand-out name and looks the one to beat. The Paddy Twomey-trained chestnut has been kept busy this summer and was successful just last Saturday at York, impressively dismissing eight rivals in the Julia Graves Roses Stakes. Given the way she finishes, the step-up in trip here to six-furlongs should play to her strengths. Lady Tilbury was also in action at York, finishing a respectable seventh in the Lowther. She has a bit to find with the selection but should give a good account of herself. Ocean Quest is given second preference. She won the opening race of the turf season and was a fine third of 24 in the valuable Ballyhane Stakes at Naas earlier this month. She ran on well from off the pace at the Tipper Road venue and there should be plenty more to come from the Jessica Harrington-trained chestnut. Apricot Twist was a disappointing ninth in that same Naas contest, but it'll come as no surprise if she manages to bounce back here. Aidan O’Brien saddles Dower House and Tiger Paw and they both warrant respect, while Studio City and Daamberdiplomat will have their supporters.
