Big Gossey (G)
[T]
Likeable veteran who landed the listed Gladness at the Curragh (7f, heavy) last month for the second year in succession. Found things happening a bit too quick for him down at 5f when fourth in this race 12 months ago and could be a simila…

Bucanero Fuerte (H)
Smart performer who has wins in a 6f Group 3 and a listed over 5f to show from his 2 visits to Naas. Possibly unsuited by very testing ground when well beaten on reappearance and could leave that well behind back on what should be a quicke…

Thunderbear (G)
[P]
Listed winner over 6f here (soft) last autumn but well-held sixth in a similar race at Cork (5f, heavy) on reappearance. Needs to leave that well behind now.

Bodhi Bear (G)
Career best when winning 14-runner handicap at the Curragh (5f, heavy) on reappearance 30 days ago. Did that readily but he'll still require another improved performance to get seriously competitive at this higher level.

Erosandpsyche (G)
[P1]
Placed twice at listed level last season. Below par in Curragh handicap on reappearance but ought to be sharper for the outing.

Fahrenheit Seven (G)
FAV
Not long with the Robert Cowell yard but smart handicap performances when landing big-field events over 5f at Newcastle and Southwell in recent months. Those efforts suggest he can hold his own now stepping up to listed level.

Getreadytorumble (G)
Proved both consistent and progressive last season, winning 3 times at 5f and good length third of 10 to Shagraan in listed race at Ascot (5f, soft) on final start. Respected on return to action.

Kerdos (G)
Useful gelding but 14 runs since last win in 2024 and well behind a few of these in a Cork listed race this month. Not hard to look elsewhere.

King Cuan (G)
Useful Course winner. 11/8, bit below form 3½ lengths third of 10 to Navassa Island in listed race at Cork (6f, heavy) on reappearance 23 days ago but should be sharper for the outing. Billy Lee is on the yard's other runner but still an e…

Moss Tucker (G)
[T]
Dual winner of this race but out of sorts when last seen at the end of 2024 but a watching brief has to be the percentage call given the length of absence.

Unique Journey (G)
[B1]
Useful course winner. Ran a cracker in a 6f Curragh handicap on reappearance but beaten 5¾ lengths into fourth in a listed event at Cork (6f, heavy) since. First-time blinkers replace regular cheekpieces.

Bonus Time (F)
Lightly-raced course winner. Last year ended with a poor effort in a big-field handicap over 7f at the York Ebor meeting. Could resume her progression this year but and Billy Lee is on her rather than stablemate King Cuan. First attempt at…

Gazelle D'or (F)
[P]
Three sprint handicap wins at the Curragh last year. Should be sharper for her recent reappearance seventh there but there's nothing in her record to suggest she'll be good enough in this higher grade.

Likedbymike (F)
Fairly useful filly who ran as well as she's ever done when second of 10 in handicap at the Curragh (5f, heavy) 8 days ago but faces a stiff task in this much higher grade.

Mission Central (G)
3-3 over 6f last year, including Curragh Group 3 and valuable conditions race at Ascot on Champions Day. Not so good over 5f, although there were excuses in Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf Sprint at Del Mar final start. Has to enter calculatio…

Cardiff By The Sea (F)
Failed to win at 2 but was fourth of 23 in Queen Mary at Royal Ascot. Back from 8 months off to land a 5f Cork maiden (heavy) last month but has a lot more on her plate here.
