Useful sort won a Group 3 at Saint-Cloud in testing ground on second start last year andf ran creditably in stronger company after; however, was very disappointing on return over C&D behind White Birch and has to bounce back. |

11 wins in all, and seven of them at stakes level; C&D winner on heavy in April and Listed winner over extended 1m4f on soft at Limerick in June; held in Leopardstown Group 3 on quicker ground last time; second to Carmers over 2m at Down Royal back in May and now 4lb worse off. |

His record now stands at 11 wins and 16 places; he celebrated his 50th outing by winning a Listed race on his favoured soft ground at Limerick in June, his seventh stakes win; would benefit most from a marked deterioration of ground conditions. |

Ten-time winner, including this race in 2023 (third in this contest last year); won good-class Curragh conditions event (1m6f, soft to heavy) on return; never able to land a blow in the Vintage Crop on quicker ground; first attempt at 2m on latest when runner-up to Carmers in Down Royal Listed (good); each-way possibilities. |

Hasn't won since Group 3 C&D win over two years ago; pick of four runs this term when unlucky in running fifth (beaten only 1.5l) here over 1m4f; hood didn't work at Galway latest and now left off. |

Former Group 3 winner who isn't handicapped out of contention and he didn't get the breaks when fifth to Fleetfoot at the Curragh most recently; could be dangerous in the new hood. |

One of two for yard; enjoyed a purple-patch in 2023 when winning three in a row (including a Listed race over C&D); lost way subsequently but signs of life when beaten just 3.25l here last month (1m2f, good); promising rider takes off 7lb; likes quick ground; could go well. |

Has lost way since winning at Gowran in July of last year; way below best on turf when last seen in April and has been gelded; cheekpieces tried now on first start since rejoining yard; probably best watched unless backed. |

Classy 2yo won a three runner race Gowran last July, his third win on turf; has failed to fire since and was never sighted in the Irish Lincolnshire last time, although heavy ground may not have suited; sliding mark but others appeal more. |

Smart juvenile in 2022, winner of the Group 2 Beresford Stakes; has come down in the world in recent seasons and has been competing over longer trips on AW; makes little appeal despite career-low mark. |

Enjoyed a career highlight when winning the Group 1 Tattersalls Gold Cup in 2021; very nearly matched that achievement when first-past-the-post in this race last year, demoted for causing interference to Ndaawi; no sign of that standard of form in valuable handicap over hurdles or on the Flat since then; still 5lb higher than 12 months ago. |

Last year's Galway Hurdle runner-up, a long time since the last of his five Flat wins (enjoyed highlight in the Group 1 Tattersalls Gold Cup in 2021); slipping in the ratings and fit from hurdling. |

4th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 0f 0y |

9yo was second to Lord Erskine in this last year and later first past the post in the Galway Hurdle (demoted for interference); back from winter break when midfield in County Hurdle last month (close up behind Karbau and Hello Neighbour), tiring from last; entitled to come on for that. |

Uneven form in four starts last year; put up a clear career-best when running away with a 1m1f Fairyhouse fillies' Group 3 in September; excellent run on return over C&D in Group 3 Alleged Stakes when just a neck behind White Birch; plenty to prove now after last of five behind the same talented colt in Group 2 Mooresbridge Stakes. |

19th Oct 2024 Soft 1m 3f 133y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Well beaten in the Ribblesdale at Royal Ascot 2023 on her first attempt at 1m4f and returned to the trip only on latest outing, when comfortably moving 4l clear in the closing stages at Saint-Cloud (very soft); that was a career best, in only a Listed race compared to today's Group 1 but she may now have more to offer at this sort of trip and is in each-way contention. |

Decent filly goes best on testing ground, winning a Navan Listed and Saint-Cloud Group 3 last season in such conditions over this trip; is 3lb better off for a 3/4l beating by White Birch in the Group 3 Alleged Stakes on return, so there should be little between them today. |

Last seen finishing 12th in the Arc and soon after changed hands for 300,000gns; a genuine 1m2f/1m4f Group 1 performer at his best but entitled to need this first run back from being gelded; rain would be welcomed. |

Third in 2023 Derby after Dante second; in rear in the Irish Derby and not at best here on final start at three; progressive in a hat-trick of Pattern wins at the Curragh early last season, culminating in an impressive Group 1 victory over Auguste Rodin; setbacks later, returned with a fine effort against Los Angeles; excuses behind the same horse in Tattersalls Gold Cup. |

Verdict
A clatter of these have a similar chance on ratings with White Birch the one with a bit in hand in that respect. He’s a contender if they’ve got him back to his best with new rider Billy Lee likely to suit him well but multiple stakes winner LAYFAYETTE won’t mind conditions and generally goes well fresh so he is taken to land this for a second time. Greenland and Crypto Force might come on for the run but Village Voice, a winner on her return last term, is another that you wouldn’t rule out. [Mark Nunan]
