Naas

The market favourite at 2.86 is the joint top-rated horse and boasts the best record at this distance — 2 wins from 4 starts. A Class 1 winner just ten months ago, she has the pedigree and form to compete, though a recent close second at York followed by a well-beaten ninth at Newmarket raises questions about current sharpness.

Soul Love is the standout on trajectory: an 80% win rate across five career races with four wins and a place, including a victory at Naas just 32 days ago. The editorial verdict identifies her fitness edge over the joint top-rated pair and her progressive profile as the decisive factors — she's backed at 4.2 and represents the sharpest form in the field.

Havana Anna is the only course winner in the field — a perfect three from three at Naas — and she's joint top-rated by a clear margin at 108. However, she's drifted from 2.88 to 3.65, and her last run at Curragh 36 days ago was a well-beaten seventh, raising durability concerns despite the fortress reputation here.

Dancing Saxon is the least experienced in the field with just nine career races, but she's carrying genuine momentum with three wins from her last six starts and a recent victory at Galway. At 11.0 odds and with three straight top-three finishes, she represents serious value — though the distance appears slightly short of her sweet spot at seven furlongs plus.
