Form & Verdict
Consistent and reliable type; top rated and well-treated by the conditions of this race; excellent effort in a 1m Leopardstown Group 2 on latest, a track he has a fine record at; won a 7f Listed heat over C&D in 2022; leading claims if the rain stays away but soft ground would be a negative.

T: G M Lyons

Has won ten of his 30 starts, including four times at this venue at 7f-1m; most recent success came at Cork in October 2024 (1m, yielding) but ran some fine races last season, including when third in this; well behind a couple of these on seasonal return here last month but better expected now with that run under his belt; place chance.

Ten victories include four here, most notably twice at Group 3 level in 2024; not quite at the same level this year but solid form, most recently seasonal-best when getting up late for second in Group 2 Solonaway Stakes at the Curragh.

Form & Verdict
One of two runners for yard; made a good impression when winning a 1m maiden at Listowel (good) on debut last week when wearing blinkers (retained); unexposed, well-bred Dubawi colt takes a big step up in class now and the ground could be very different here; not discounted but will need to improve against this opposition.

Form & Verdict
Off the mark for current yard in the Irish Cambridgeshire off 93 (1m, good); proved that wasn't a fluke with another fine effort in the Northfields Handicap (1m2f, good) off 7lb higher; looks worth a go at this level but soft ground would be a complete unknown.

Form & Verdict
A 102 rated filly has failed to fire on her last two starts in Group 1 company; excellent effort when fourth at Royal Ascot in June (1m, good to firm); handles soft and won a Listed on heavy ground for Richard Hannon as a 2yo; yard's runners go well here and she is interesting dropped back in class with the blinkers removed.

Form & Verdict
Listed and Group 3 winner at Leopardstown over 1m2f and 1m1f on soft ground; best effort this season when beaten 3l behind Tarawa on seasonal return at Leopardstown (1m1f, good); beaten 11l on latest in a Leopardstown Group 3 (1m1f, good); will be suited by soft ground if the rain comes but he didn't go well in this last year on soft; others preferred.

Listed winner over 1m2f here at three; won weak renewal of this race last year when beating three rivals; held since, including over C&D behind Tarawa last month; 5lb better with that filly for a 3l defeat; suited by soft, handles good but fast ground may count against him.
