Tip for this race
All today's tips ›Shaool is our pick at Naas, and the progressive profile is the reason to side with her over Beset, who shares the top rating of 113 with one other runner. At 112 she is only a pound behind that pair, so the gap is minimal, and a runner still improving can make that up on soft ground over 12 furlongs. Beset and the unnamed runner on 113 are the obvious dangers, while Snapretend, on 111, sits just behind and cannot be overlooked in a competitive 16-runner field. Shaool's upward trajectory gives her the edge, and she is the selection.

Beset arrives in cracking form, a winner last time out and three wins in her last five starts, with a second three starts back, and she has run over today's trip and going before. Our rating of 113 tops the field, but 136 lb is a hefty burden after 33 days off.

Two seconds in her last three starts before a seventh last time out give Chica Guerrera a solid profile, and she has run over today's trip and going before after just 19 days off. Carrying 133 lb off an official 93, though, she looks held, with our rating of 96 only 11th of 16.

Deressa won last time out, but that came after two unplaced runs and she returns from 111 days off, having run over today's trip before and carrying 133 lb off an official 96. Our rating of 96 ranks her tenth of sixteen.

Gavin Cromwell 3/44
Rated 113 by us and second of 16, she has run over today's trip and going before and won three starts back, though two quiet runs since (a sixth, then an eighth last time out) are the main worry off 133 lb.

Shaool is yet to win in her last five, finishing seventh last time out and sixth in three of those, but she's had 28 days to recover and has run over today's trip and going before. Our rating of 112 ranks her third of 16, and 133 lb is the one query.

Jamie Powell
Joseph Patrick O'Brien 10/59
Snapretend has run over today's trip and going, and her two seconds five and six starts back show she can pitch in at this level; our 111 rating, fourth of 16, is ten clear of her official 101. Two eighths in her last two outings are the worry, though.

Colin Keane
Noel Meade 1/28
Consistent filly who has finished third last time out, a fourth two starts back and a third three starts back, and she has run over today's trip and going before. Quick back-out after six days and a struggling yard (1 from 27) temper things, and she has just the one win in her last six.

Acula won last time out and was a fourth two starts back, but a 50-day break and a 77 on our figures, ranked 16th of 16, make her hard to fancy off an official 84 carrying 127 lb.

R. P. Cleary
Gavin Cromwell 3/44
Camino Vino is hard to fancy after a sixth last time out and an unplaced run before that, with her win four starts back now fading and 78 days off the track to overcome. She has run over today's trip and our figures rank her 13th of 16, but little else argues for her.

Kieran Shoemark

Capichera was a third two starts back and again three starts back, but she was beaten into eighth last time out, and that leaves her with questions to answer after 25 days off. She has run over today's trip and carries 127 lb off an official mark of 99, while our rating of 104 ranks her sixth of 16.

Chablis Rock was second last time out and has been in the frame in four of her last five starts, a winner three starts back, and she has run over today's trip and going before. Against that, she's been off 33 days, carries 127 lb, and our rating ranks her only eighth of 16.

Seamie Heffernan
J. P. Murtagh 6/44
Chasing Paradise has a win three starts back and a second four starts back, but she was only sixth last time out and a fourth before that, so the form is tailing off. She has run over today's trip and going, and our rating of 97 ranks her ninth of 16, which is midfield on balance.

Nathan Crosse
Joseph Patrick O'Brien 10/59
Mawhibah won last time out and was second two starts back, so the form reads well, yet our figures rank her 15th of 16 on a 79 and her 64 speed rating is unflattering. She has run over this trip and on this going, and 39 days off is no concern, but 127 lb looks a stiff ask.

Ryan Moore
Aidan O'Brien 8/67
Moments of Joy is winless in her last five, with an unplaced effort last time out and a fifth two starts back, and she returns after 49 days off. Our figures put her seventh of 16, so she sits mid-pack, with 127 lb on an official mark of 98 offering little relief.

Paddy Harnett

So Must I is hard to fancy after a sixth last time out and a long 76-day break, having not won since a victory six starts back and finishing fourth in three of her last four before that. She does have experience over today's trip and going, but 127 lb is a hefty burden.

Zadawa arrives a last-time-out winner, with a second, a third and a fourth before that, and she has run over today's trip and going. Carrying 127 lb off an official 89 after 33 days off, though, she looks stretched, and our rating of 87 ranks her 12th of 16.
