Form & Verdict
Much-improved after two initial outings last season; second in a C&D maiden before landing a 1m Listowel nursery; had enough speed to win over 6f at the Curragh on his next start; signed off with third placing in a valuable 7f conditions event at Naas; seems versatile in terms of going as well as trip; capable of going close.

J: Seamie Heffernan

T: Joseph G Murphy

Confirmed his liking for this venue when winning a Listed race here last season (Mutasarref a neck behind), his second C&D win; improving for each outing this season and should run his race but a rating of 99 leaves him with a fair amount to find with a few of these rivals.

Won this in 2023; consistent stakes performer with seven wins; won Heritage Stakes last season, beating Mutasarref by a neck; best subsequent effort came when fourth in Minstrel Stakes in July; two starts this season, improved from return to be beaten 3.25l behind The Lion In Winter at Leopardstown seven days ago; down in trip; mightn't want the ground too testing but shouldn't be far away and trainer has good course record.

Seven career wins include this race last season, when he got up in the last strides to deny the odds-on favourite Mutasarref; produced his best subsequent effort when fourth in the Minstrel Stakes at the Curragh last July; dropped away tamely in the 7f Gladness Stakes at the Curragh on seasonal debut.

Form & Verdict
Much the best of his three runs at two when chasing home subsequent Group 1 winner Auguste Rodin at Naas; disappointing at Dundalk on final start; acted well on very soft ground when beating 19 rivals on his seasonal debut in a maiden over this trip at the Curragh; form was boosted by a good win for runner-up Something Nice at Cork

Form & Verdict
Placed on the second of two early-season Curragh maiden outings at two; returned after a three-month break to win a Down Royal maiden on good ground before taking an auction race series final on soft ground at Naas, both races over this trip; justified his handicap mark on reappearance in the Madrid Handicap, form boosted by runner-up Duke Of Leggagh.

J: Ronan Whelan

Won two 7f non-handicaps last backend and likeably consistent in defeat this season kept to 7f (Listed race latest); not obviously crying out for 1m and this is a stiff one; will need his best yet to defy highish mark in this hot handicap; effective on good or softer, unraced on good to firm.

Off the mark in a 5.5f Bath handicap in June (firm) during a short tenure with Mick Appleby, and almost cashed in his lower mark on synthetics at Kempton latest (6f; stable debut), but mixed messages previously as to whether he truly stays 7f; jockey rode first double on Monday night.
