Form & Verdict
Group 3 winner last season and not far behind Los Angeles and White Birch in the Mooresbridge Stakes; confirmed that promise with a facile 1m4f Listed success here last month; has to give weight away back down in trip this time but the form of last month's win is working out nicely and he ought to be bang there once again.

Good form early last season, recording back-to-back wins here in today's event and Group 3 International Stakes over 1m2f; subsequent Leopardstown efforts were below best below best, as was last month's seasonal return here in 1m2f Group 3 Alleged Stakes dominated by two stablemates; entitled to come on for that.

Good form early last season, notably recording back-to-back wins at this venue in a Listed 1m4f contest and Group 3 International Stakes over this trip; below best when attempting a repeat of his 2024 Group 3 win at Leopardstown's Irish Champions meeting; well beaten at the same venue on final start.

Better than ever this term, recording back-to-back wins at the Curragh in Listed contest and 1m2f Group 3 International Stakes when never stronger than at finish; below best however when attempting repeat win in last month's Group 3 CMG Group Stakes here (1m4f) so needs to bounce back; big player if he does.

Form & Verdict
Group 2 course winner as a juvenile who was only seen once last term; down the field in the Tattersalls Gold Cup last month; that was a tough ask on return from 413 days off and this drop in class looks more suitable; potential pace angle and not ruled out if he can come on for that return.

Form & Verdict
Goes well here (four course wins including Group 2) and was often a big threat at this level in his pomp; however, not getting any younger and he hasn't really threatened in three Listed runs this term; needs the return to this venue to spark a revival.

950,000gns yearling by Frankel; won narrowly when dictating a steady pace in maiden at Leopardstown (1m4f, good) on second start; it's rather alarming that he finished last of ten in the other two, but latest was handicap debut over just 7f, which was probably too short, and he now has his tongue tied.
