Tip for this race
All today's tips ›Princess Child is our selection at Naas, and she looks the right one to side with over the top-rated Faiyum, who is only four pounds better on our figures. She arrives on a progressive profile, and the clock backs her form, which gives us real confidence that there is more to come on the soft ground over the mile. Faiyum is the obvious danger and could well prove hard to hold off, while Queen's Reign and Drop Dead Gorgeous, both rated in the mid-90s, head the chasing pack in a big field of 16. Princess Child can put her improvement to good use and get the job done.

Bay Colony arrives fairly fresh after 19 days, a fourth last time out, though she is winless in her last five and has a ninth and two sevenths in that spell. She has run over today's trip and our rating of 92 edges her official 89, but 131 lb from stall 16 is a lot to ask.

Faiyum is a leading threat on our figures, having made the frame in three of her last five runs, including a second two starts back and a win five starts back, and she has run over today's trip and going. The risk is an eighth last time out, though 22 days' rest helps, and she carries 131 lb from stall one.

Winless in her last five, with a seventh two starts back and a fifth three starts back the best of it, Noli Timere has run over today's trip and going and returns after 20 days. Carrying 131 lb from draw 13, she sits tenth of 16 on our rating of 90, so she's solid rather than a standout.

Princess Child steps out quickly after a second last time out, just seven days ago, and she has run over today's trip and on this going before. Drawn two and carrying 131 lb, she is yet to win in her last six starts, but our figures rate her second of sixteen.

Queen's Reign arrives with a third last time out, and a second three starts back, so she has been in the frame regularly while yet to win in her last five. She has run over today's trip and going, and sits third of 16 on our rating, but 40 days off and 131 lb are the main risk.

Ben Coen
J. P. Murtagh 6/44
Won last time out and again three starts back, so she arrives in good heart, though a quick seven-day turnaround and 128 lb are potential hurdles. She has run over today's trip and going, and our rating of 89 sits above her official 85, yet it ranks her only 11th of 16 from stall 4.

Her form figures look modest, but our rating of 95 ranks her fourth of 16 and sits above her official 91, while she has run over today's trip and going before and returns fresh after 29 days. The main risk is a poor recent book, with nothing better than a fifth in her last four starts and yet to win in that run.

Hard to fancy at the foot of our ranking, yet she won last time out and a winner three starts back, with an eighth in between, and she is fresh from a run only 10 days ago. Has run over today's trip, but 128 lb from stall 11 looks a lot to carry off an official 89.

Fresh enough after 15 days, Killashee Warrior is winless in her last five, though a third two starts back shows she can get involved, and she has run over today's trip. A seventh last time out and 128 lb from stall three leave her a midfield sort, with our rating of 93 only just above her official 91.
