Two soft ground wins last term; found 1m inadequate here on seasonal debut; much better when second at Cork, with Apercu back in fourth; could be in the mix.

Two soft ground wins last term included 9.5f Clonmel handicap off 84; didn't count back at 1m on recent seasonal return at the Curragh but entitled to come on for that so don't rule out.

Won on good ground at two in France; ran only twice for William Haggas in 2024; same last year for this stable; second at Leopardstown on the first of two late-season handicap outings; faces a huge task at these weights.

Terre De Vega

9st 11lb

J: Gary Halpin

T: John Andrew Kinsella

Won on good ground whan trained in France as a 2yo; not many runs since and was picked up by current connections for 3,600gns in an online sale in August; seemed rusty in the early stages but ran on well to be just denied at Leopardstown 14 days ago; up 5lb but a big player if building on that.

Showed improved effort here last time when beaten 6.5l behind Minnie Hauk (1m2f, good); that was a step in the right direction but it's still hard to see him playing any major role.

J: Declan McDonogh

Good form early last season, recording back-to-back wins here in today's event and Group 3 International Stakes over 1m2f; subsequent Leopardstown efforts were below best below best, as was last month's seasonal return here in 1m2f Group 3 Alleged Stakes dominated by two stablemates; entitled to come on for that.

Good form early last season, notably recording back-to-back wins at this venue in a Listed 1m4f contest and Group 3 International Stakes over this trip; below best when attempting a repeat of his 2024 Group 3 win at Leopardstown's Irish Champions meeting; well beaten at the same venue on final start.

Maiden; five of his six starts have been over C&D and finished runner-up in three of those; a 0.5l runner-up in November off 4lb lower and winner followed up next time in a rated race; squeezed for room in a maiden last time but recovered to again take second; he's knocking on the door.

Plenty of positives from his first two runs over C&D and Limerick was too bad to be true; had a break since then and those initial efforts bring him into it.
