Tipperary Race 3 - Coolmore Stud Churchill Stakes (Listed)
BRUSSELS (1) debuted with a win at the Curragh before finishing 2.75L fourth in a Newmarket G2 (1207m). Possibly raced too close to a strong pace on the latter occasion and the winner has since won another G2. Strong chance. MAXIMUM SCEPTICISM (3) will have 4.25L to find with the top selection based on debut run. Won a 1223m Nottingham maiden with authority last time and cannot be taken lightly. THESECRETADVERSARY (5) enters calculations based on a Royal Ascot second. Carries a risk after a subsequent odds-on defeat. Leopardstown debutante winner TIME BENDER (6) also demands respect stepping up in grade.

Lining up for just third start. When well in the market at debut, won by 0.8 len at Curragh May 24 over 1207m defeating Kansas with 59.5kg at $3.80. Last start 4th in a small field at Newmarket (July) in the G2 July Stakes on July 10 over 1207m, 2.75 len behind Zavateri with 58kg at $3.30. Useful type and deserves another chance.

Racing well recently. Last start 2nd in a small field at Ayr on July 21 over 1454m, 0.8 len behind Rochfortbridge carrying 60.5kg at $1.20. The start before that made ground from midfield; 2nd of 9 at Ascot in the LR Chesham Stakes on June 21 over 1408m, 1.0 len behind Humidity carrying 59.5kg at $13. Expected to be very competitive.
