Form & Verdict
Arizona gelding closely related to three winners inc Preamble (6f 2yo; RPR 88) & Never Rains (1m; 67), half-brother to another; dam unraced, from family of top miler Goldikova; tongue-tied and weak in the market when making winning debut in Tipperary median auction maiden in May (yielding-to-soft), going clear with favourite some way out to win going away; should stay 1m; stiffer task conceding weight and contrasting ground here.

Won 7f Tipperary maiden and then second in a Cork conditions race in the first half of his juvenile season; things have gone downhill since then; hard to be confident.

Won 7f Tipperary maiden and then second in a Cork conditions race in first half of last season but didn't really progress; Dundalk run in November wasn't a bad effort but much more likely needed on return.

J: Jessica O’Gorman

T: Aengus King

AW maiden winner; her only turf wins came back-to-back at Cork and Roscommon last autumn; a bit high in the ratings since then.

W: 9st 5lb

3 yo Filly

OR: 98

Form & Verdict
Debut Deauville winner last summer has been highly-tried since, notably beaten 3.5l in Group 3 Athasi on seasonal return in May; probably not helped by racing in small far-side group in Sandringham Stakes (handicap) at Ascot latest; major claims dropped in class here.

Irish challenger; not especially solid on 2025 form that includes a success in maiden auction race at Cork where she didn't need to be anywhere near her best; others preferred.

Debut winner at Deauville last summer; fifth in Group 3 Athasi on seasonal return in May; probably not helped by racing in small far-side group in Sandringham Stakes (handicap); odds-on winner dropped in class at Cork 19 days ago; cheekpieces added now.

Winless since debut Gowran victory (7f, good to firm), albeit highly tried on occasions, running creditably in a hot Royal Ascot handicap last June; didn't see out the mile at Cork when last seen; stable/seasonal debut down in trip; ground a concern.
