J: Dylan Browne McMonagle

T: Joseph Patrick O’Brien

Front-runner who won three Group 3s in France for Andre Fabre (1m, testing ground) and was a very close fourth in the Group 1 Prix du Moulin at Longchamp (1m, good to soft) last September; below-par fourth on stable debut at Leopardstown (1m, good; Listed) four weeks ago but may have needed the run; of interest if rediscovering his best French form.

Group 3-winning 2yo over this trip but didn't fire in three runs last year; the best of two runs this term came at Gowran last time when ahead of Tina's Indian; the filly that won that event, City Of Memphis, has since won twice at Group level; a big player.

Group 3-winning two-year-old in 2024; struggled in three runs last year in stakes and handicap company; showed more and ran well for a long way from the front in Listed Heritage Stakes 7 days ago, eventually finishing eighth behind The Lion In Winter; should come on for that and step back in trip will suit; one of two for in-form yard.

Course handicap winner at 1m1f; cracking effort when 2.5l fourth in Listed Heritage Stakes over C&D (yld-sft) last month when he had three of these behind despite not getting the clearest of runs; acts on good ground and seems to be improving; a bit to find on the figures, but could go very well.

Five career wins, the most recent off 98 in a 1m handicap at Dundalk last November; should strip fitter following an AW run in February; stable in fine form, combined for a Dundalk treble last week.

Looked potentially smart when storming 4.25l clear in C&D maiden last year on second start; improved on that to be beaten 2l into third in this race last year, shaping particularly well on unfavoured side of the track; off since; open to plenty of improvement and a big player.

Second in a 1m Listed race at Killarney last August; aimed very high in the Matron Stakes and now has her sights lowered after contesting a 7f Group 3 event at Leopardstown four weeks ago; this extra furlong may prove closer to the optimum trip.

Sole win in 14 starts came in Dundalk AW maiden in February of last year; highly tried since, best run over C&D last April when beaten 2.25l into fourth by One Look in this race last year; returned on the AW 28 days ago when beaten 4l into fifth by stablemate California Dreamer; needs plenty more.

One of three for top yard; promise when a 2.5l fourth on debut at Dundalk (7f) last October; off the mark on seasonal return in a 7f maiden here on soft in March and earned an official rating of 97; deserted by Moore upped in trip but rider's 5lb claim useful off top weight; can't discount.
