OR: 91

Form & Verdict
93-rated gelding won this race on seasonal return last year but it was a much weaker renewal; best form is on good ground so the forecast rain is a negative; well-beaten on easy ground when last seen; others appeal more.

Grand handicapper, but marksman has had his measure for some time; best run this year was when second in premier handicap, under Lee, at the Curragh (1m) on Derby weekend and also creditable fourth in the Irish Cambridgeshire; slow start and never involved at Leopardstown last Saturday; might race prominently and could go well, but 7f is a bit sharp for him.

Rated 93; won twice last year at the Curragh, a 6f maiden on soft to heavy and a 7f handicap on good off 93; form tailed off subsequently and returns to action having been gelded; won't mind the forecast rain and goes well fresh but faces a tough task on the figures.

Form & Verdict
Sent off at 11-2 on debut in a 1m fillies' maiden at Naas (good) in May 2024 and overcame greenness to score by a neck; absence since is a concern and if the forecast rain materialises soft conditions would be an unknown; probably best watched.

Decent overall form since fourth in this race 12 months ago; gained first win at stakes level when taking a Listed fillies' event at Navan last month; seemed to appreciate the step up to 1m that day, but was found wanting in a deeper race at the Curragh on Irish Derby weekend.
