Form & Verdict
One of two for trainer; some decent runs in defeat when trained in Britain and off the mark immediately on Irish debut in a Roscommon maiden over 1m4f in August; built on a decent stable debut here in November when cosily winning a C&D handicap last time off 86; race conditions suit and is a leading contender.

Form & Verdict
Winner of a heavy-ground 1m2f Leopardstown Group 3 in April 2024 and added to that when a winner at this venue in a conditions race over 18.5f in February last year; gelded since beaten 29l in the Irish St Leger when last seen; the jury is out on whether he is effective at this trip (weakened from 1f out in only other try); trainer has better candidate in Bryant.

J: David Egan

T: Robson De Aguiar

Group 3 winner over 1m2f at three; his losing run of 13 includes a fading fourth in this last year (good to firm); likely flattered by his close proximity to Scandinavia in a 1m6f Listed race in April and hasn't fared so well since; even if back on song, this is a tough place for front-runners.

Won 1m2f Group 3 Ballysax Stakes in 2024 (1m2f, heavy); last win was at Dundalk early last year, having faced some stiff tasks since, career-best when front-running second to ready winner Scandinavia in Navan Listed last month; not as good behind same rival since under similar tactics in Group 3 Saval Beg; bit to find on ratings and step up to 2m looks a big ask.

Form & Verdict
Wonderful AW record (outside the top three just once, and two wins from nine starts); last win came over 10.5f here in August off 88; proved stamina when running on well for a 1l third in a 2m heritage handicap at Chester in September but well beaten in the Irish Cesarewitch when last seen; can never be ruled out back on this surface and has run well following a break before.

Brought over from Ireland for five British races and ran well every time, including when fourth in this contest last year and third in the Chester Plate last month; he didn't win any of them, though, and has taken just one Irish handicap; plenty seemingly needs to go right if he's to win this but he has a place chance despite wide draw.

Takes a sharp drop in class having contested a strong 1m6f handicap at the Curragh last week; had previously shown decent form in finishing second in maiden hurdles at Tramore and Killarney; suited by the race conditions, as he was when readily landing a race of this type at Dundalk in March.
