Nine-time winner, most recently over C&D (soft) off 82 in March; best effort for some time when today's headgear tried in finishing never nearer fourth over C&D 17 days ago in testing conditions; 2lb lower now and Keane takes over; has to be respected. |

Splendid veteran showed he retained enthusiasm when winning the 7f Gladness Stakes in March, his ninth Curragh win on his 50th visit; found 5f too sharp at Naas last time; runs in this event for the fourth consecutive year, second at 25-1 in 2023, ninth in 2024, third behind James Delight at 33-1 last season; asking a lot now in a strong edition. |

Marvelous veteran showed he retained all his ability when winning for the eleventh time in the Listed Gladness Stakes at the Curragh (7f, sft-hvy) a month ago; however, has come up short in the last three renewals of this race and 5f probably sharp enough for him these days. |

Grand old servant who is stuck on a 16-race losing streak; disappointed at Gowran this month but stamina was stretched over a mile on the day; he's well treated now and has won around here in the past but the percentage call is to oppose. |

Stuck on a losing run but dangerously handicapped and hasn't been running badly this year; each-way claims. |

Losing run since a C&D success in 2022; encouraging sixth here last week over C&D when staying on well and on a dangerous mark but possibly more effective at 7f these days. |
