Form & Verdict
Chased home Derby/Eclipse winner City Of Troy on debut last year in a 7f Curragh maiden; again runner-up on reappearance at the Curragh, failing to get to grips with the front-running Super Sox over 7f; looked much closer to the finished article when landing the odds easily over 1m at the same venue; better ground should be ideal.

Group 3 winner at the Curragh (1m2f, good) last April and went close under a penalty in the Wolferton Stakes at Royal Ascot (1m2f, good to firm) in June; returned to form in that same Listed race last month, when fourth of 16 (good to firm; Dividend third), and he could have a part to play.

J: Dylan Browne McMonagle

T: Joseph Patrick O’Brien

Consistent performer who chased home Haatem in this on good to firm last year; ended 2025 with solid efforts in Bahrain and Hong Kong and it's probably worth forgiving him a rare off day in Saudi Arabia in February; capable of making a bold bid in this again assuming stall 15 isn't too troublesome.

Stepped up from his Dubai efforts earlier in the year when making all in C&D Group 3 Alleged Stakes (first-time cheekpieces) in April; faded into fifth behind Los Angeles in the Mooresbridge Stakes; good effort when second in the Listed Wolferton Stakes at Ascot; not one of his better efforts in the four-race Meld Stakes at Leopardstown last month.

Form & Verdict
Won 1m3f maiden at this venue 12 months ago; made an encouraging seasonal return when close fourth in 1m4f Listed event at Cork; that was on soft, and she failed to reproduce the form on good ground over the same course and distance on her next start; has left John O'Donoghue to join Paddy Twomey who tries her with a hood now.

Second of two for yard; 1m3f maiden winner gained deserved first stakes' win in dominant fashion on her final start of 2024 in a Listed heat at Galway (1m4f, yielding); best form is on ground with an ease and at 1m3f-1m4f; probably best watched on her return unless the ground softens.

Form & Verdict
Home-bred Vadamos gelding is a half-brother to four winners; dam 7f AW 2yo winner, half-sister to the useful Big Time who started his career with a win for this stable and finished second in the 2013 Phoenix Stakes; in at the deep end here.

Seven-race maiden who finished runner-up in two of his six starts on turf in Ireland last summer (both over this trip), but failed to beat a rival on stable debut/reappearance at Wolverhampton (1m4f, Tapeta) last month; something to prove.

Form & Verdict
Made a winning debut over 7f on soft ground at Gowran in April; coped reasonably well with good ground and a longer trip when fourth behind the well-fancied Trustyourinstinct at the same venue on second start; however, will need to improve to trouble the winner's progressive stablemate Galen.
