OR: 112

Form & Verdict
Is in the form of his career this year for a new yard; won a Roscommon Listed race on seasonal debut and was an unlucky runner-up in the Irish Cesarewitch last time; his new rating of 112 looks debatable but a repeat of his best will make him difficult to beat.

Won this race (yielding) on first start for this stable last season and has held form well since; runner up in Irish Cesarewitch at the Curragh (2m1f, yielding) then landed the Group 3 Loughbrown Stakes there in November; close second in Limerick Listed race (12.5f, soft) on seasonal return 11 days ago; top rated and obvious chance, but could do with some rain.

In the form of his life last year, winning 1m4f Roscommon Listed on seasonal debut at 125-1 and better again when upped to 2m at the Curragh, unlucky narrow defeat in Irish Cesarewitch and ready winner of Group 3 Loughbrown Stakes in November on heavy; will appreciate the forecast rain and has to be respected on return.

J: Finley Marsh

Only 1-10 for Dermot Weld but was highly tried on occasions; made most from wide draw in major handicaps on both starts for Richard Hughes, reeled in late on when third in the Chester Cup (2m2f, good) but backpedalling before the home straight at Royal Ascot (1m6f, good to firm); big shout if he reverts to the Chester performance.

J: Finley Marsh

Only 1-10 for Dermot Weld but was highly tried on occasions; made his debut for Richard Hughes in the Chester Cup (2m2f, good) and, having broken well from his wide draw, he put up a bold show from the front only to be reeled in late in the day; a 2lb nudge is easy to stomach and dropping back to 1m6f could work given the cruising speed he showed at Chester.

Sole win (ten starts) for Dermot Weld was a maiden in 2024; has tried Group/Listed races but his most competitive show last year came when fourth of 14 in 1m6f handicap at Glorious Goodwood, off 3lb higher than today; tried a hood on AW debut at Lingfield in February and has since changed stables (same owners); has a bit to prove and such a wide draw is unlikely to help.
