OR:

Form & Verdict
Free Eagle gelding made winning debut last month in 1m4f Cork maiden, running green but really getting into his stride inside final furlong (third, fourth have both won since); stiffer test here should suit, not sure the quicker ground will; big jump in class but could go well.

Didn't appear after Leopardstown maiden win last July until never dangerous fifth of 7 in Group 3 Salsabil Stakes here last month (beaten over 4l); entitled to come on for that although not a certain stayer.

One of two runners for yard; consistent form in Listed company at 10.5f to 13f this season before being outclassed in a Group 2 at the Curragh on latest start; she should be a lot more comfortable in this company and she looks capable of picking up more black type if taking to the surface on her AW bow.

Steadily progressive this term upped in trip, notably second to subsequent Queens Vase third Birdman in 1m5f Navan Listed (4-runners) and when back to 1m2f in Naas Oaks Trial last month, outpaced late after briefly hitting the front late on; trip/ground to suit, seems sure to go well.

OR: 96

Form & Verdict
Last year's Zetland Stakes second probably didn't have a sufficient stamina test on seasonal return at Newmarket last month when only sixth in Fielden Stakes; more expected of upped in trip.

J: Dylan Browne McMonagle

T: A P O’Brien

Unraced on firmer than good; rather put in his place in a Group 3 on final 2yo start and two Listed races this season, but he rallied well when a close third to Birdman (Wednesday's Queen's Vase third) over 1m5f at Navan last time and perhaps could have done with setting a stronger pace; top trainer (runs four) won this in 2019 and has had two runners on the premises since.
