Blues Emperor (G)
[B1]
C&D winner. Eleven runs since last win in 2025. Underperformed again when sixth of 9 in handicap at Down Royal (7f, soft, 9/2) 7 days ago. A change of headgear (first-time blinkers for cheekpieces) needs to have a positive effect.

Fair maiden. Creditable third of 12 in maiden at Dundalk (10.7f) on reappearance 31 days ago. Back down in trip. Visor on first time now handicapping. Less exposed than most of these.

Chester Nimitz (G)
Maiden winner for Noel Meade last autumn. Not seen to best effect in handicaps at Leopardstown and Roscommon for new yard this spring. Not one to give up on.

Prevalence (F)
Value for extra when winning 7f maiden at Dundalk last November. Shaped well and looked ahead of her mark when 1¼ lengths third of 12 on 7f course reappearance. A lesser effort has followed over C&D but she remains one to be positive about…

Majestic King (G)
FAV
Improved when winning at Gowran in May and just as good when second of 14 in handicap at Ballinrobe (9.6f, good) just 3 days later. A lesser run at Leopardstown since needs forgiving but Oisin Murphy has been booked.

Neo Smart (M)
[T]
Showed a good attitude to land 13-runner Dundalk handicap in February. Not troubled the judge since but latest seventh of 19 over C&D (good to firm) was respectable, not ideally placed.

Liberate (F)
First sign of promise for this yard when fifth of 19 over C&D (good to firm) 33 days ago, running on. Player if she can build on that.

Albion Power (G)
