Verdict

Last year's winner GOODIE TWO SHOES shaped much better than the bare result on her recent Limerick return (ended up on the worst of the ground) and is likely to be much closer to form here, Joseph O'Brien's mare is expected to be a tough nut to crack. Perfect Your Craft has made a solid start for Paddy Twomey, so she looks the biggest threat, with Bloom completing the shortlist sporting first-time cheekpieces.

    Verdict
    Smart mare who has developed a fine strike rate on the Flat, completing a hat-trick in this race 12 months ago. Signed off 2025 with an excellent second of 24 in the Melbourne Cup and shaped much better than the bare result on return at Limerick recently. Looks the one to beat.

    Verdict
    Progressive 3-time winner for Ralph Beckett. Sold for 300,000 gns and went very close to making a winning start for new connections in 20-runner handicap at the Curragh on return. Ran to a similar level upped to a pattern race in cheekpieces when fifth of 9 at Cork last month. Solid place claims.

    Verdict
    Won a Leopardstown listed event over this trip last August and ended her first season with a creditable fifth of 11 to Santorini Star in Park Hill at Doncaster (14.5f, good) in September. Clearly wasn't 100% on return at Gowran a couple of months ago and now first-time cheekpieces go on.

    Verdict
    Hasn't won on the Flat since her Leopardstown maiden success in 2024, though shaped well in a couple of top-end handicaps recently, seventh of 20 in the Ascot Stakes (2½m, good to firm) just over 3 weeks ago. Back down markedly in trip. 1 of 3 for this yard.

    Verdict
    Wootton Bassett filly who won 16-runner Gowran maiden in September. Placed at a higher level on first 2 starts this season but failed to see things out tried in blinkers at Cork (1½m, good) last month. Hopes pinned on a change of headgear doing the trick.

    Verdict
    Remains a maiden but highly tried last year. Shaped better than the bare result in first-time tongue strap after 5 months off when 4¾ lengths fourth of 10 in listed race at Gowran (1¾m, good to soft) in May, left with too much to do. More needed in this.

    Won Gowran maiden last summer and matched that form when third in a Curragh Group 3 in October. Has failed to beat a rival in all 3 starts this season so can only be watched. Potential pace angle for stablemate Bloom.

    Verdict
    Much improved when winning 17-runner course maiden (1½m, good to soft) last month, suited by both longer trip and return to a sounder surface. Wasn't up to the task thrown into listed company at Roscommon 8 days ago which does temper enthusiasm here somewhat.
