9st 7lb |
Narrowly denied on handicap debut at the Curragh last September (7f, yld-sft); again ran well when a 1l fourth at Dundalk in October; floundered on heavy ground on seasonal return at Cork; better expected now. |

Beaten a neck by Invincible Will on handicap debut at the Curragh (7f, yld-sft) in September and 3lb better off with that rival here; raised 4lb and finished a 1l fourth of 13 on final run of 2025 at Dundalk (7f); yard in flying form and dangerous to discount. |

Penultimate Roscommon run his best yet, good fourth after not clear run in first-time tongue-tie; wide draw and testing ground valid excuses for poor effort at Leopardstown; better run expected here. |

Last month's Roscommon run his best yet, good fourth after not clear run in first-time tongue-tie; claims if overcoming this wide draw. |

Five AW runs have been largely poor bar a mildly promising effort in a nursery over a mile in December; off 155 days; tongue-strap goes on and steps markedly up in trip. |

Mild encouragement to be taken from her 1m effort here last month when finishing sixth; made no impression over C&D two weeks later; this is a drop in class but she needs to find plenty; wide draw. |

Couple of creditable handicap runs over 7f/1m, placed over latter trip behind easy winner at Bellewstown; big step up in trip; dam won over almost this far in France. |

Soundly beaten in maidens; 66-1 for handicap debut when sixth of 14 at Down Royal (7f, good), not far behind Fontaine Khaled and Beau Army; failed to build on that at that venue on soft 13 days ago but could bounce back if the ground is good. |

Has won over 6f/7f at Dundalk; ran her best race on turf when fourth behind the progressive Meriden at Down Royal on penultimate (one place behind Fontaine Khaled); nowhere near that level at Limerick since but player if at her best. |

10th Jun 2026 Good To Yielding 0m 7f 0y |

Has won over 6f/7f at Dundalk and runner-up over 1m at the AW venue in April; ran his best race on turf so far when keeping on for fourth behind Meridien (a winner again since) over 7f at Down Royal 12 days ago; among those behind then was Imnotleavinyou whose previous form gives her a leading chance here. |

Betting Forcast
12/1 Sunrise Angel, 8/1 Zheleznaya Dama, 10/1 Wicklow Gap, 9/2 Concaire, 14/1 De Songbird, 20/1 Sayonara, 14/1 Tavarua, 14/1 Wingit, 14/1 Six Wings, 9/2 Stonyfalls, 14/1 Garryowen Green, 16/1 Ramair, 8/1 Beau Army, 7/2 Cause I Like You
Verdict
The likely key to this race is a Bellewstown event in which CAUSE I LIKE YOU (nap) finished second. She gets the vote to uphold form with third-placed Stonyfalls and Beau Army, who took fifth. The other main player could be Concaire who went very close at Limerick and suffered interference when unplaced at Down Royal. [Alan Sweetman]
