Charles Darwin (C)
FAV
Highly progressive and exciting at 2, completing a hat-trick in 15-runner Norfolk at Royal Ascot (5f, firm, 8/13) in June. Picked up where he left off when readily winning 6f Navan listed race on reappearance and he'll be hard to beat agai…

Chicago Call (G)
Useful performer but 2¾ lengths sixth of 7 to Charles Darwin in listed race at Navan (6f, good) 22 days ago and hard to see him troubling that reopposing rival.

Havana Anna (F)
Won a maiden and listed race over 5f here last summer. Better form when runner-up in a Longchamp Group 3 and the Group 1 Cheveley Park at Newmarket. Had excuses at the Breeders' Cup on final outing. Should go well on return.

Josh's Joy (F)
C&D maiden winner last autumn. Creditable seventh of 16 in handicap (10/3) at the Curragh (6f, heavy) on reappearance 44 days ago, not ideally placed. Plenty to find on form at this level.

Kindergarten (F)
Made a winning start in 14-runner Navan maiden (6f, soft) last autumn. Good 1½ lengths fourth of 7 to Charles Darwin in listed race there on reappearance 22 days ago. Open to further progress.

Oh Cecelia (F)
[H]
Fairly useful course scorer. Latest win at Cork in April. Below form 9½ lengths third of 8 to Royal Bay Cen in listed race back at Cork (5.5f, heavy, 7/2) 14 days ago. Plenty to find at this level.

Royal Bay Cen (F)
Looked an exciting new recruit for Johnny Murtagh when 9-length winner of 5.5f Cork listed race on reappearance. Can give Charles Darwin most to think about.

Tahcawin (F)
Fairly useful filly. Good second of 14 in C&D handicap (good) 8 days ago but this demands a lot more.
