9st 9lb

J: Declan McDonogh

T: Charles O’Brien

Dual-purpose AW winner; out of form at Dundalk earlier this year and disappointing return to turf at the Curragh eight days ago; eased 1lb and down in trip, but others arrive in better fettle.

9st 0lb

J: Gavin Ryan

T: Charles O’Brien

Has only had one Flat run on turf; fair performer at up to 2m on AW at Dundalk, maiden winner (1m4f) and placed twice, including when third off this mark in October (1m4f); should be suited by ground conditions.

9st 5lb

J: W J Lee

T: Charles O’Brien

Splendid veteran showed he retained enthusiasm when winning the 7f Gladness Stakes in March, his ninth Curragh win on his 50th visit; found 5f too sharp at Naas last time; runs in this event for the fourth consecutive year, second at 25-1 in 2023, ninth in 2024, third behind James Delight at 33-1 last season; asking a lot now in a strong edition.

Paradise Lost

10st 0lb

J: Gavin Brouder

T: Charles O’Brien

Placed over hurdles on his two most recent outings; two undistinguished Flat runs last season; better judged on the form he showed near the end of the 2024 campaign, although seems best suited by soft ground.
