Twice a beaten favourite (Group 3/Listed) since chasing home Delacroix in Leopardstown's Derby Trial (1m2f, good) back in May and no question that France last time was a backward step; however, he remains a colt of considerable potential.

This progressive Kingman colt is on a hat-trick after successive Listed wins at Cork (10.5f, yielding) on final run of last term and at this venue (1m4f, good) on seasonal return; won that latest race by 6l in seriously impressive fashion (eased down) and should be fine dropped back in trip; top rated here and leading claims.

Smart, lightly raced 4yo; never quite fulfilled Leopardstown's Derby Trial second this time last year although did end the campaign on a winning note in 1m2f Cork Listed in September in ready fashion; looks the type to make an even better 4yo upped to this trip; very interesting player.

Pushed the classy Henri Matisse close on debut at the Curragh (6f) last year and returned from a gelding operation to win his maiden at Leopardstown (1m1f, good); will need to be better than his mark of 93 to land this but that's feasible.

Short-headed by the classy Henri Matisse on debut at the Curragh (6f) in May 2024; didn't replicate that on his only start since at this venue (7f, soft) last October; has been gelded and a tongue tie is reached for; market should reveal expectations after another layoff.

Huge run on debut when beaten a short head by Henri Matisse (dual Group 2 winner since); subsequent absence a concern but further should suit and ground likely fine too; has to be high on the shortlist; yard's first-string.

Looked good in winning his maiden at Navan (1m2f, soft) and was first past the post in the Group 3 Gallinule at the Curragh only to be demoted for causing interference; again wandered for pressure when eighth in another Group 3 at Royal Ascot and no surprise to see him now gelded; into his first handicap here and retains significant potential.
