Dual-purpose performer is 3-21 over hurdles with all three gained in an eight-day period in August last year; has been ticking over nicely on the Flat without winning of late; could make his presence felt. |

Two solid runs since return from winter break; 4l third at Dundalk (1m4f), then 0.5l behind Jurality when third at Down Royal (Synchronize fourth); 2lb rise for that seems a touch harsh, but place claims again. |

28th Jun 2026 Good 2m 6f 31y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Last two visits to Britain resulted in a win at Hexham (2m4f, good to soft) last June and a narrow loss at Ayr (2m, soft) this March; won well at Downpatrick (2m6f, good) 15 days ago and all three of those runs were under Oran McGill; needs plenty of respect despite his steeply revised mark. |

13th Jun 2026 Good 2m 5f 180y |

Justified market support at Hexham this time last year (2m4f, good to soft) to open his account; poor in two chase runs in October, but was again well backed at Ayr in March when denied by a head in a first-time tongue tie (2m, soft, 9-4 fav'); return to further can help; big player. |

Dual hurdles winner for Gordon Elliott in 2023; out of form for former yard but there were positives to take from fourth of 12 at Tramore in April (2m6f, yielding); didn't back that up back over hurdles at Kilbeggan; a bit hard to trust now. |

Two-time hurdles winner for Gordon Elliott in 2023; out of form for former yard, but there were definite signs of life pn stable debut when fourth of 12 over fences at Tramore, making a bad mistake at the fifth; that is something to build on back over timber now. |

Always doing enough when making winning handicap debut at Downpatrick (2m1f; 9-4 favourite) last October; well beaten in a Grade 3 mares' novice next time, and absent since; no issue with this track, so mildly interesting to see how she fares off a BHA mark of 109. |

Betting Forcast
11/1 Mephisto, 9/2 Nakassama, 10/1 Ringdufferin, 16/1 Typical Thomas, 4/1 Cozone, 18/1 Ivybrook, 28/1 Andys Flame, 5/1 Joya Del Mar, 20/1 Tribal Moon, 22/1 Eastern Wind, 33/1 Oh Janey, 11/2 Morell River, 16/1 Adaliz, 25/1 Boston Beach, 7/1 Caher Roes Den, Mickey Cohen, Fabhcun, Tolka Row
Verdict
A few of these come into the race in good form, including the recent winners Cozone and Joya Del Mar who should both go well again. However, narrow preference is for NAKASSAMA who won easily over C&D last month and was beaten just a neck at Cartmel last time. Morell River and Mephisto complete the shortlist. [Dave Stephens]
