Form & Verdict
Is 2-2 at this venue, winning the last two renewals of the Group 3 Renaissance Stakes in convincing fashion; will have needed last week's return at York when having his first start since a gelding procedure and warrants plenty of respect back here; likely to make a bold bid from the front.

Usually races up with pace; fine sprinter over the years but the majority of his big wins have come at the Curragh, where he's won five Group races; well beaten over this C&D when last seen in November and, although he'd be dangerous on a going day, others seem more likely to give their running.

Sprang a 40-1 surprise in this race in 2023 and showed he's still capable of smart form when winning the Group 3 Renaissance Stakes at the Curragh (6f, soft) three weeks ago; however, he's some way down the pecking order on this year's form and others appeal more.

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.

Form & Verdict
Right back to his best when winning the Abernant Stakes (Group 3) at Newmarket on return last month; that's some of the best form on offer and he stayed on well up the hill; this is a sharper 6f and he's not quite as consistent when the ground gets quick but no doubt he warrants respect; highest draw may work in his favour.
