Useful sort won a Group 3 at Saint-Cloud in testing ground on second start last year andf ran creditably in stronger company after; however, was very disappointing on return over C&D behind White Birch and has to bounce back. |

Winner of ten races; last of six stakes race wins was in 2023 Royal Whip over 1m2f at the Curragh; however, he proved that he retains considerable ability and enthusiasm when winning a conditions event over this trip at the Curragh on seasonal debut; (Dallas Star third, Emit fourth), that was his first 1m6f attempt, on his 47th outing. |

Hasn't won since Group 3 C&D win over two years ago; pick of four runs this term when unlucky in running fifth (beaten only 1.5l) here over 1m4f; hood didn't work at Galway latest and now left off. |

One of two for yard; enjoyed a purple-patch in 2023 when winning three in a row (including a Listed race over C&D); lost way subsequently but signs of life when beaten just 3.25l here last month (1m2f, good); promising rider takes off 7lb; likes quick ground; could go well. |

Classy 2yo won a three runner race Gowran last July, his third win on turf; has failed to fire since and was never sighted in the Irish Lincolnshire last time, although heavy ground may not have suited; sliding mark but others appeal more. |

One of two for yard; sole win last season came in three-runner Gowran conditions race (9.5f); two middling efforts in handicaps since joining this yard, including a fourth behind Gaucher in December; last year's winner Dallas Star has better claims. |

9yo was second to Lord Erskine in this last year and later first past the post in the Galway Hurdle (demoted for interference); back from winter break when midfield in County Hurdle last month (close up behind Karbau and Hello Neighbour), tiring from last; entitled to come on for that. |

Uneven form in four starts last year; put up a clear career-best when running away with a 1m1f Fairyhouse fillies' Group 3 in September; excellent run on return over C&D in Group 3 Alleged Stakes when just a neck behind White Birch; plenty to prove now after last of five behind the same talented colt in Group 2 Mooresbridge Stakes. |

9st 7lb |
Well beaten in the Ribblesdale at Royal Ascot 2023 on her first attempt at 1m4f and returned to the trip only on latest outing, when comfortably moving 4l clear in the closing stages at Saint-Cloud (very soft); that was a career best, in only a Listed race compared to today's Group 1 but she may now have more to offer at this sort of trip and is in each-way contention. |

Decent filly goes best on testing ground, winning a Navan Listed and Saint-Cloud Group 3 last season in such conditions over this trip; is 3lb better off for a 3/4l beating by White Birch in the Group 3 Alleged Stakes on return, so there should be little between them today. |

Verdict
A clatter of these have a similar chance on ratings with White Birch the one with a bit in hand in that respect. He’s a contender if they’ve got him back to his best with new rider Billy Lee likely to suit him well but multiple stakes winner LAYFAYETTE won’t mind conditions and generally goes well fresh so he is taken to land this for a second time. Greenland and Crypto Force might come on for the run but Village Voice, a winner on her return last term, is another that you wouldn’t rule out. [Mark Nunan]
