A winner of the Musidora Stakes at York in May, Aidan O'Brien's filly came within a neck of Epsom glory when denied by stablemate Minnie Hauk on her first outing over a mile and a half.

The daughter of Wootton Bassett will now drop back to a mile and a quarter to take on the Andrew Balding-trained Kalpana, who rounded out her season last year with a commanding success in the Qipco British Champions Fillies & Mares Stakes at Ascot in October. Andrew Balding's four-year-old will have to give 12lb to current 7/4 market leader Whirl.

The Juddmonte-owned daughter of Study Of Man, who will be ridden by retained rider Colin Keane for the first time, will return to the Curragh for the second time this season having finished third behind Los Angeles and Anmaat in the Tattersalls Gold Cup on her reappearance in May.

Joseph O'Brien's Wemightakedlongway will take on Whirl once more following her fourth-place finish in the Epsom Oaks, while the Willie McCreery-trained Jancis steps up to a mile and a quarter after finishing fifth in the Group 2 Lanwades Stud Stakes last time.

Henry De Bromhead is represented by Higher Leaves, with Paddy Twomey relying solely on Magical Hope after having six horses in at the entry stage.

Survie adds some international spice coming over from France for trainers Nicolas Clement and Flo Hermans.
