|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 8th | 1 | 15 |
Guildmaster (C)
[B1]
Overcame inexperience to make a winning start in a decent Lingfield novice in December. Useful form in defeat both starts since (9 lengths seventh in Dante latest) but he'll require a very smart performance to defy clear top weight in this…

| 9th | 2 | 10 |
Tierra Del Toro (G)
Progressive form, improving a good chunk again when 2¼ lengths third of 10 to Lost Boys in London Gold Cup at Newbury (1¼m, good) on reappearance. 1½m ought to suit him at least as well and Ralph Beckett has a strong recent record in this …

Cannes (C)
FAV
€500,000 Sea The Stars colt who was a promising second on first 2 starts before getting off the mark when stepped up to 1½m at Leopardstown (good) 39 days ago. Should have more to offer now moving into handicaps but a wide draw is far from…

| 10th | 4 | 5 |
Birgham Dub (C)
Won first 2 starts (1½m Southwell novice latterly). Lost his unbeaten record but wasn't disgraced when 8¼ lengths fifth of 8 to Rumoriste in listed race at Longchamp (1½m, soft) 35 days ago. His opening handicap mark looks tough, though.

Al Azd (G)
[B]
Improved since blinkered, winning 11f maiden at Southwell (all-weather) and 1½m handicap at Doncaster (good to firm; did it easily) this spring. Nearest finish when 4¼ lengths sixth of 10 to Lost Boys in London Gold Cup at Newbury (1¼m, go…

Joulany (G)
[T1]
800,000 gns buy who has shown useful form in defeat in his 4 starts, finishing second of 7 in maiden at Chester (12.3f, good to firm) 41 days ago. Makes handicap debut from a mark which demands improvement. Tongue tied first time on the ba…

Amora Queen (F)
Won her first 2 starts in 2025. Returned with a good second in handicap at Doncaster but well held twice since. Her stable has done well in this race over the years but her claims aren't obvious.

Atomic City (C)
[T1]
Promising Ghaiyyath colt who made it third time lucky in a maiden at Cork (10.5f, heavy) last month. In top hands and open to further progress in handicaps. Wears a first-time tongue tie.

Dial Me In (C)
[T]
Quite useful but hasn't really progressed since a debut win last summer. 2¼ lengths second of 5 to Nil Bua Gan Dua in conditions event at Roscommon (10.4f, good) 38 days ago. Steps up to 1½m for handicap debut from a mark which isn't obvio…

Enceladus (C)
From a good family and knuckled down well to see off a promising newcomer in 10.5f Cork maiden (good to soft) on reappearance. Tackles first handicap here. Will go on improving and Ryan Moore rides.

| 3rd | 11 | 4 |
Believed (F)
[H]
Frankel filly who has improved with each start, looking suited by the step up to 1½m when easily winning maiden at Dundalk 23 days ago. Has the potential for better but pitched in very deep on handicap debut.

| 11th | 12 | 11 |
Into The Light (C)
Well-bred colt who went down by only a short head to subsequent London Gold Cup winner Lost Boys on handicap debut at Sandown (1¼m, good) 8 weeks ago, finishing strongly from too far back. The return to 1½m looks in his favour. Big player …

Golden Knight (C)
Built on debut promise when making all in 7-runner novice at Newmarket (1m, good to firm) in October. Not up to the listed Heron over 1m on Sandown reappearance and now takes a big jump up in trip for his handicap debut. Stall 22 is likely…

Waterford Castle (G)
[P]
Still a maiden but has recorded 4 good runner-up efforts since joining George Boughey, including over 1¼m here in first-time cheekpieces (retained) 6 weeks ago. Steps up to 1½m for the first time now. Probably capable of better again.

| 17th | 15 | 1 |
Genchev (G)
Made it fifth time lucky when seeing off 7 rivals in maiden at Navan (1¼m, good to soft) 33 days ago. His yard is in a good vein of form but doesn't obviously have the same scope for improvement as some of today's rivals.

354-21 | Colin Keane | G M Lyons | 3 | 54.9 kg |

| 5th | 16 | 20 |
Arc Ole Ole (C)
Has won all 3 starts since his debut, finding another good chunk of improvement for step up to 1½m when seeing off 13 rivals in a handicap at the York Dante meeting. Raised 10 lb but he looks capable of better as his stamina is drawn out. …

Heyzoom (C)
Beaten at short odds on first 2 outings but made no mistake in maiden at Newbury (1¼m, good) 34 days ago and 4 subsequent winners have already emerged from that race. Not certain to benefit from the step up to 1½m on breeding but there's a…

Galilean Quality (G)
Has the odd quirk but he's essentially progressive and posted quite a useful effort to win 1½m Wolverhampton handicap 3 weeks ago, taking his career record to 3-6.

Blue Hercules (C)
Fairly useful form when reaching the frame in maiden/novice events at Newbury and Chepstow (both 1¼m) on his last 2 starts. Up in trip for handicap debut. May have more to offer.
