Winner of seven of his 25 races; gained most recent of five stakes wins on his favoured soft ground at Tipperary last October; has had a break since respectable seasonal return in the Gladness Stakes in March; stakes performer dropping back into handicap so has to be respected but wants softer ground. |

Group 3 winner for the Charltons over 1m at Ascot on good-to-firm; 0-8 for current yard but has been tried in hot company; two runs earlier this season were on soft/heavy, Curragh Listed second would see her close here and better ground seems sure to suit; likely good pace to suit too. |

Opened his account at 16th attempt with a comfortable front-running success in a 7f maiden here last Friday; previously, had often run well in defeat, in good company at times (has run in three Pattern races); 5f was too sharp here on his penultimate start; 1m should suit |

9st 9lb |
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. |

22nd Apr 2026 Soft To Heavy 0m 7f 0y |

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. |

Wide-margin Navan maiden winner last year before contesting the Vertem Futurity; neck second on seasonal debut in 1m1f Listed at Leopardstown; looked a bit one-paced over 1m on his next start and found 7f inadequate in a Group 2 event at Leopardstown last week; interesting on handicap debut, but no horse of his age has won this since 2004. |

Had lots of useful stakes form, including her fourth to stablemate Tahiyra in last year's Irish 1,000 Guineas, before snaring her first blacktype win with decisive success in C&D Listed contest on good ground last month; ex-Ballydoyle runner-up might be flattered by his mark these days but she won with plenty to spare and there should be more to come. |
2/1 |
Verdict
Ryan Moore sticks with JUMBLY who is dropped in trip after two Group 2 attempts at 1m. She is slightly preferred to Tarawa, the most appealing of five runners in her age group here. Power Under Me was third in this event two years ago and can probably reach the money again. [Alan Sweetman]
