1st (4)  (9/4 +10%)Sharinay |
9/4(+10%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Sharinay 9/4, After 7 months off (gelded) and with hood applied, left his debut form behind when landing 18-runner maiden at Cork in April. Progressed again when finding only a fellow improver too strong in handicap at Naas (8f, good to firm) next time. Major player. Naas second looks smart form now; should stay and big player if he does. |
|||
2nd (1)  (5/1 +17%)Arabic Legend |
5/1(+17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Arabic Legend 5/1, Ran well on first outing since leaving Andrew Balding when fourth in an Epsom listed race (10.1f) in April, before possibly failing to stay the longer trip in Lingfield Derby Trial (11.6f) last time. Not written off back down in distance as he goes handicapping. Came up short in Derby trials; back in trip for handicap debut; has to be respected. |
|||
3rd (7)  (8/1 -14%)Thor's Hammer |
8/1(-14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Thor's Hammer 8/1, Put his experience to good use when battling well for success in 5-runner maiden at Killarney (8.1f, soft) 47 days ago. Can give another good account account as he goes up in trip for his first start in a handicap. Scrambled home at Killarney; rain-softened ground to suit but others may have more scope. |
|||
4th (5)  (9/2 +25%)Soldier's Empire |
9/2(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Soldier's Empire 9/2, Successful at Dundalk on final start in 2023 and has run at least as well both starts this year, third of 14 in minor event at Gowran (9.4f, good to soft) 27 days ago. Can make his presence felt back in handicap company. Didn't seem to get home over extended 1m1f at Gowran; stamina remains a possible issue. |
|||
5th (2)  (18/1 -112%)Princess Child |
18/1(-112%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Princess Child 18/1, Won 3 minor events at La Zarzuela, Madrid, in 2023, before finishing a good second to the Ralph Beckett-trained Zoum Zoum in listed race at Saint-Cloud (7f, heavy) on final start that year. Off 7 months ahead of first start since leaving L. Lemiere. Ex Spanish-trained filly, second in Saint-Clud Listed in November; 80,000euros buy since. |
|||
6th (6)  (10/1 -67%)Ridhaz |
10/1(-67%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Ridhaz 10/1, Confirmed his debut promise 8 months on when winning a Leopardstown maiden (8f) in May. Took another step foward when fifth of 14 in minor event at Gowran (9.4f, good to soft) 27 days ago, albeit without carrying much win threat. Makes his handicap bow. Seemingly owner's second-choice but can't be ruled out on handicap debut. |
|||
7th (8)  (33/1 -106%)Signor Ferrari |
33/1(-106%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Signor Ferrari 33/1, Finally off the mark in handicap at Cork (7f) in May and ran at least as well when second in a Fairyhouse claimer next time (10f, good to soft) next time. Saddle slipped when pulled up back at Cork 16 days ago, but he has work to do with hood now added. Excuses last time; hood now tried but tough ask from 6lb out of handicap. |
|||
8th (3)  (17/2 -70%)Formal Display |
17/2(-70%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Formal Display 17/2, Off the mark at the third attempt at Dundalk last year and, after 7 months off, ran creditably when 5¾ lengths fifth of 8 to Tarawa in listed race at Leopardstown (9f, good) 24 days ago, despite meeting trouble on more than one occasion. Respected on handicap debut. Respectable recent comeback run over this trip but more likely needed on handicap debut. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
FORMAL DISPLAY boasts a top-class pedigree, being out of a Group 1-winning mare and a sibling to smart types, and Ger Lyons' colt makes plenty of appeal on handicap debut, having not received a clear passage in a Listed event at Leopardstown recently against older horses. Sharinay has proven handicap form and had his recent Naas run significantly boosted by the winner, Chicago Critic, subsequently finishing third in Royal Ascot's Jersey Stakes last week. Princess Child has smart form in her native France and while lacking a recent outing, she finished second at Listed level on her previous run in November.
SHARINAY showed improved form when runner-up to Chicago Critic (third in the Jersey Stakes at Royal Ascot next time) at Naas on his handicap debut in May and he can continue his progress with this longer trip to suit. He is taken to get the better of Formal Display, who remains with potential as he goes handicapping, while Soldier's Empire could also be in the mix.
A clear second to a subsequent Jersey Stakes third at Naas last time when conceding weight makes SHARINAY the one to beat

(5)  (25/1 -25%)The Parthenon |
25/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) The Parthenon 25/1, Kingman colt who made a highly promising start pitched into the deep end when 1½ lengths fifth of 7 to Arizona Blaze in Marble Hill Stakes over C&D. Didn't have to improve when landing odds in maiden at the Gowran 2 weeks ago but looks stable third string on riding arrangements. Saw 7f out well at Gowran, will need a strong pace here dropped in trip. |
|||
1st (2)  (9/1 -157%)Henri Matisse |
9/1(-157%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Henri Matisse 9/1, Wootton Bassett colt. Half-brother to several winners, including smart winner up to 7f Tenebrism and useful 2-y-o 5.7f/6f winner Statuette. Overcame inexperience to make a winning debut in C&D maiden 5 weeks ago, getting up on the nod. More needed here but sure to improve, perhaps markedly so. Good attitude for debut C&D win last month; lot more likely required here. |
|||
2nd (6)  (9/2 +18%)The Strikin Viking |
9/2(+18%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) The Strikin Viking 9/2, 65,000 gns 2-y-o, Inns of Court colt. Half-brother to winner up to 7f Chorlton Lane. Dam unraced from family of top-class 7f-1½m winner Azamour. Created a fine impression first-time out when thumping his rivals from the front in a good time in maiden at York 2 weeks ago. Interesting contender. Impressive recent York maiden winner a supplementary entry an interesting contender. |
|||
3rd (1)  (7/1 -40%)Arizona Blaze |
7/1(-40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Arizona Blaze 7/1, Knew what was required when justifying favouritism at the Curragh in March and having finished second to Whistlejacket in listed company he regained the winning thread in the Marble Hill over C&D. Good third in Norfolk at Royal Ascot since and should go well again if this doesn't come too soon. C&D winner and recent Norfolk third a major player. |
|||
4th (7)  (11/8 +31%)Tunbridge Wells |
11/8(+31%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Tunbridge Wells 11/8, Brother to smart 2-y-o 5f/6f winner Blackbeard and looked a good prospect himself when confirming debut promise to land odds in C&D novice 25 days ago. Runner-up that day has since boosted that form at Royal Ascot. Headgear on. Leading player. C&D win franked since; the Ballydoyle pick and a big player. |
|||
5th (3)  (5/1 +55%)Principality |
5/1(+55%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Principality 5/1, Calyx colt who confirmed debut promise when comfortably landing the odds in Goodwood novice 3 weeks ago. This much tougher but will go on improving and he had 3 subsequent winners behind him at Goodwood. Quite taking Goodwood winner upped in grade but every chance he could be up to it. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
TUNBRIDGE WELLS showed promise on debut when runner-up at Navan before going one better here last month at very short odds. The runner-up subsequently finished second in the Queen Mary at Royal Ascot and the full-brother to Blackbeard is expected to progress further, especially in first-time cheekpieces. Arizona Blaze was himself placed at Royal Ascot, finishing third in the Norfolk, and had previously won the Marble Hill over C&D. His consistency to date is likely to stand him in good stead, while Principality was beaten by one who followed up under a penalty on his debut at Newmarket. He won decisively at Goodwood, from which the third has won subsequently, and he is of interest stepping up in grade.
TUNBRIDGE WELLS ran out an impressive winner when beating subsequent Queen Mary runner-up Mighty Eriu over C&D here earlier this month so looks the one to beat. Marble Hill winner Arizona Blaze is an obvious threat if fully recovered from his good third at Royal Ascot, while The Strikin Viking must be respected having made all in a good time in a maiden at York.
C&D winner TUNBRIDGE WELLS gets the vote in a strong renewal, The Strikin Viking a likely major threat

7/2(+30%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) My Mate Alfie 7/2, Useful gelding. Good 1¼ lengths third of 6 to Bucanero Fuerte in Lacken Stakes at Naas (5.9f, good to firm, 8/1) 42 days ago. Trainer going well. On the upgrade recently. Recent Naas third his best yet; this probably an easier task so should be thereabouts. |
|||
2nd (4)  (13/2 -86%)Ano Syra |
13/2(-86%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Ano Syra 13/2, Smart mare. Course winner. Thirteen runs since last win in 2022. 12 lengths last of 9 to Clarendon House in listed race at Cork (5f, good, 7/2) 16 days ago. That clearly wasn't her running and she's a major player if bouncing back (third in Group 2 over C&D prior to that). Greenlands third puts her in the mix but poor run since raises doubts. |
|||
3rd (3)  (15/2 +25%)Tango Flare |
15/2(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Tango Flare 15/2, Fourth in a big-field C&D handicap in May. 5/6, didn't need to be at best when winning 7-runner minor event at Fairyhouse (6f, good) 23 days ago by ½ length from Dandyville. Cheekpieces added. Recent Fairyhouse winner has cheekpieces on now; needs to improve to play leading role. |
|||
4th (7)  (13/2 +54%)Jakajaro |
13/2(+54%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Jakajaro 13/2, Useful gelding. C&D winner. Latest win at Dundalk in March. Creditable 3½ lengths third of 9 to Clarendon House in listed race (10/1) at Cork (5f, good) 16 days ago. Back to optimum trip and solid place claims at least. |
|||
5th (1)  (11/8 +31%)Commanche Falls |
11/8(+31%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Commanche Falls 11/8, Smart gelding. C&D winner. Best effort this season when 2¾ lengths second of 8 to Believing in listed race at Haydock (5f, good to firm, 11/1) 22 days ago, clear of rest. Big player at this level. Last year's winner showed timely return to form latest; big player. |
|||
6th (5)  (40/1 +0%)Pink Sorrel |
40/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Pink Sorrel 40/1, Useful filly. Course winner. Respectable third of 6 in handicap at Fairyhouse (6f, good, 11/1) 16 days ago. Big career best needed. Maiden winner here a year ago but no obvious chance on recent handicap form. |
|||
7th (6)  (250/1 +0%)Sister Lola |
250/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Sister Lola 250/1, Modest mare. Thirty eight runs since last win in 2021. Twelfth of 13 in handicap (10/1) at Dundalk (6f). Off 8 months. First run for yard after leaving James McAuley. Easy to look elsewhere. Four-time AW winner but operating at basement level nowadays; no chance. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
Seven-year-old COMMANCHE FALLS hasn't won since last September but returned to form recently and reverts to this distance, over which all 12 of his wins have come. His biggest success was a Group 3 last July and, while well held at Haydock recently, the winner subsequently finished fourth in both of Royal Ascot's Group 1 sprints. Dual course winner Ano Syra finished third in the course-and-distance Group 2 Greenlands Stakes last month. That was probably a career-best effort but she disappointed subsequently at Cork. Three-year-old My Mate Alfie has progressed well this year and is another to bear in mind.
COMMANCHE Falls looked on the way back when runner-up in this grade at Haydock last time and he's fancied to successfully concede weight all round. Ano Syra ran a shocker at Cork but is very dangerous on these terms, with My Mate Alfie another to consider.
Last year's winner COMMANCHE FALLS, who showed a timely return to form at Haydock last time and can score again

(5)  (50/1 -100%)So Majestic |
50/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) So Majestic 50/1, Respectable 2¼ lengths third of 7 to Azure Blue in listed race at Ayr (5f, good to firm, 25/1) 8 days ago, ridden over 1f out and plugging on. Much-inflated mark to defy returned to handicaps. Down in class after Listed attempts, trainer probably has a better chance with Kendall Roy. |
|||
1st (6)  (25/1 -108%)Amazon Lady |
25/1(-108%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Amazon Lady 25/1, 11/1 and visored for 1st time, career best when winning 14-runner handicap at Navan (5f, good) 43 days ago by ½ length from Harry's Hill, always holding on. Not underestimated if headgear has desired effect once more. Ran in four consecutive Listed races before beating Harry's Hill in a 5f handicap at Navan. |
|||
2nd (15)  (22/1 +12%)Greek Flower |
22/1(+12%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (15) Greek Flower 22/1, Course winner who shaped well after 8 months off when second of 8 in handicap (12/1) at Down Royal (5f, good) 9 days ago, finishing with running left. This rates a tougher assignment but she's clearly returned in good heart. Course 6f winner on heavy, ran well on good on seasonal debut, 6lb out of the handicap. |
|||
3rd (12)  (13/2 +19%)Lethal Nymph |
13/2(+19%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Lethal Nymph 13/2, Sixteen runs since last win in 2022. 9/1, good second of 16 in handicap at Thirsk (5f, good) 14 days ago, finding only a thriving sort too strong. Lurking on a handy mark and one to bear in mind. All four wins came two seasons ago but in good form this term, second at Thirsk on latest. |
|||
4th (9)  (10/1 +17%)Jm Jungle |
10/1(+17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Jm Jungle 10/1, Back-to-back handicap winner last summer. 13/2, eleventh of 15 in handicap at Hamilton (5f, good to firm) 28 days ago, racing closer to pace than ideal. Slowly edging back down to last winning mark. Not far behind today's rival Korker in valuable York event, below best at Hamilton. |
|||
5th (16)  (33/1 +18%)Bold Optimist |
33/1(+18%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (16) Bold Optimist 33/1, Latest win at Cork (5f) in June. Not seen to best effect when ninth of 12 in handicap (5/1) at Down Royal (5f, good) 9 days ago. However, more needed in any case in this much stronger company. Rider's 7lb claim is an asset but has too much to do from 12lb out of the handicap. |
|||
6th (4)  (11/1 +67%)Big Gossey |
11/1(+67%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Big Gossey 11/1, 5-time course winner. 80/1, 7¾ lengths ninth of 12 to Mitbaahy in Greenlands Stakes at this course (6f, good) 36 days ago. Return to handicap company rates an obvious plus from his reduced mark. Boasts a fine record at this venue (five wins), now back on his last winning handicap mark. |
|||
7th (13)  (33/1 +0%)Shandy |
33/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) Shandy 33/1, Winner at Cork (5f, heavy) in March. 17¾ lengths last of 13 to Cherry Blossom in listed race at Cork (5.5f, good, 15/2) 51 days ago. Hood on 1st time and bounce back called for making handicap debut. Sights lowered now after two Listed runs since Cork 5f maiden win on heavy, hooded now. |
|||
8th (3)  (25/1 -79%)Twilight Jet |
25/1(-79%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Twilight Jet 25/1, Smart performer who ran up to best under an attacking ride when neck second of 8 to Aesop's Fables in listed race at Naas (5f, good to firm, 14/1) 42 days ago. Visor on 1st time and claims with a repeat. Three-time stakes winner, up 8lb for Listed second on latest, tough task as a result. |
|||
9th (11)  (14/1 +13%)Harry's Hill |
14/1(+13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Harry's Hill 14/1, Showed a willing attitude when landing this prize 12 months ago and teed himself up nicely for a repeat bid when excellent ½-length second of 14 to Amazon Lady in handicap at Navan (5f, good) 43 days ago. Enters calculations. Always up with the pace when second to Amazing Lady at Navan, won this race last year. |
|||
10th (1)  (10/1 +0%)Korker |
10/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Korker 10/1, Prone to missing the break but he did run right up to best when fourth in big field handicap at York (5f) in May. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, below form 8¾ lengths third of 8 to Believing in listed race (14/1) at Haydock (5f, good to firm) 22 days ago. Six-time 5f winner, best of his four runs this term when fourth of 17 at York, big burden. |
|||
11th (2)  (20/1 -100%)Thunderbear |
20/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Thunderbear 20/1, Group 3 winner on heavy ground last term who bounced right back to very best when winning 7-runner handicap at Navan (5f, good, 5/1) 22 days ago by 1¼ lengths from Arnhem, kept up to work. Respected again. Raised 5lb for beating Arnhem at Navan but still 2lb below his career-high rating. |
|||
12th (14)  (15/2 +0%)Kendall Roy |
15/2(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (14) Kendall Roy 15/2, Made it 4 wins from his last 5 starts in 11-runner handicap at this C&D (good to firm) 25 days ago, comfortably. Has become a really likeable type and fancied to be in the shake up again. Four wins and a second from five handicap starts, only 3lb wrong and worth considering. |
|||
13th (10)  (3/1 +45%)Sturlasson |
3/1(+45%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Sturlasson 3/1, Impressive when making all in a Navan maiden (5f) in May and stepped up again when runner-up in 3-y-o "Dash" on his latest start at Epsom (5f) 4 weeks ago. That form has a solid look and he's very much of interest again partnered by Oisin Murphy. Looked unlucky when second to Blue Storm at Epsom, form franked, holds a leading chance. |
|||
14th (8)  (11/1 -38%)Little Queenie |
11/1(-38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Little Queenie 11/1, C&D winner. 11/1, very good second of 17 in handicap at this course (6f, good) 37 days ago. That effort came on the back of 7 months off and this likeable type is expected to give another good account. Made a lot of the running and only just denied in a 6f handicap here on seasonal debut. |
|||
15th (17)  (200/1 +0%)Reinforce |
200/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (17) Reinforce 200/1, Remains a maiden after 21 Flat runs. Below form seventh of 18 in handicap at Fairyhouse (6.1f, good to soft, 12/1) 31 days ago. Easy to look elsewhere. 0-21 record is off-putting in any case but has no chance from 29lb out of the handicap. |
|||
16th (7)  (50/1 -100%)Arnhem |
50/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Arnhem 50/1, Course winner. 9¼ lengths seventh of 9 to Clarendon House in listed race at Cork (5f, good, 28/1) 16 days ago, no extra from 2f out. Return to handicap company in his favour now. Ran in a Listed race last time, second to Thunderbear in a handicap at Navan before that. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
STURLASSON's initial juvenile form was quite smart and, while he subsequently dropped below that level, he has returned to his best in recent runs and finished second in Epsom's three-year-old Dash earlier this month. He easily won a maiden last month and at Epsom he met trouble in-running before finishing well behind the winner, who subsequently finished second in the Palace Of Holyroodhouse Stakes at Royal Ascot. Lethal Nymph's rating had fallen in recent times and, while well held in the Dash at Epsom, he ran well in a big-field handicap at Thirsk recently and should be competitive. Kendall Roy is a thoroughly progressive three-year-old who won over C&D recently.
Unsurprisingly claims can be made for a host including STURLASSON, who ran a cracker when chasing home another upwardly mobile sort in the 3-y-o "Dash" at Epsom at the start of the month and, again partnered by Oisin Murphy, he very much appeals as the type who could raise his game further still. The thriving Kendall Roy, potentially well-handicapped Lethal Nymph and last year's winner Harry's Hill are others to consider. Little Queenie is another worth a second look.
This may provide STURLASSON compensation for his defeat in the at Epsom, form upheld by the winner with fine Royal Ascot run

50/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Romina Power 50/1, Useful filly. 103/1, 11 lengths ninth of 15 to Blue Rose Cen in Prix de Diane at Chantilly (10.4f, good to firm). Off 12 months. First run for yard after leaving Michael Figge with more required. Import from Germany, decent form in France and won a 1m1f Listed race at Baden-Baden. |
|||
1st (1)  (11/1 -47%)Lord Massusus |
11/1(-47%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Lord Massusus 11/1, Smart gelding. Course winner. Five wins from 17 Flat runs. 17½ lengths seventh of 8 to White Birch in Tattersalls Gold Cup (28/1) at this course (10.5f, good to soft) 35 days ago. Back down in trip. Generally reliable, back at a realistic level after ambitious Tattersalls Gold Cup bid. |
|||
2nd (3)  (8/1 +43%)Atlantic Coast |
8/1(+43%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Atlantic Coast 8/1, Lightly-raced winner. Course winner. Tongue strap on for 1st time, 8¼ lengths sixth of 8 to Rosallion in Irish 2000 Guineas at this C&D (good, 40/1) 36 days ago. Yard having good spell so no forlorn hope. Below best at Leopardstown on seasonal debut, out of his depth in the Irish 2,000 Guineas. |
|||
3rd (9)  (Evens +60%)Azada |
Evens(+60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Azada Evens, Promising type. 12/1, 5¾ lengths sixth of 13 to Fallen Angel in Irish 1000 Guineas at this C&D (soft) 35 days ago. Stable in good form. Sure to go well. Won only start at two, highly tried in Irish 1,000 Guineas, could be a big factor now. |
|||
4th (8)  (11/1 +21%)Norwalk Havoc |
11/1(+21%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Norwalk Havoc 11/1, Lightly-raced winner. 2 wins from 4 runs this year. 7 lengths sixth of 8 to Chief Little Rock in Gallinule Stakes at this course (10f, soft, 14/1) 35 days ago. Others more persuasive. Two wins this season, soundly beaten in sixth when tried over 1m2f in the Gallinule Stakes. |
|||
5th (7)  (11/1 -100%)Mundi |
11/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Mundi 11/1, Twice-raced winner. 1 win from 2 runs this year. 11½ lengths seventh of 8 to Chief Little Rock in Gallinule Stakes (13/2) at this course (10f, soft) 35 days ago. Well worth another chance for top yard. Dundalk winner, did not seem to stay 1m2f in Gallinule Stakes, premature to write off. |
|||
6th (2)  (7/1 -75%)Dunum |
7/1(-75%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Dunum 7/1, Smart gelding. Course winner. Six wins from 22 Flat runs. 11/1, creditable sixth of 14 in handicap at this C&D (good) 37 days ago. Trainer going well. Should continue to give a good account. Highly progressive handicapper over the last two seasons, no experience at this level. |
|||
7th (6)  (16/1 +36%)Master Of The Hunt |
16/1(+36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Master Of The Hunt 16/1, Fairly useful colt. 1 win from 3 runs this year. 11/4 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, career best when winning 14-runner maiden at Gowran (8f, good) 13 days ago, driven clear. Difficult ask in this grade though. Recent maiden winner on sixth attempt, a lot more needed, yard's second-string. |
|||
8th (5)  (33/1 -371%)You Send Me |
33/1(-371%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) You Send Me 33/1, Useful filly. 6¾ lengths fourth of 7 to Mutasarref in Ballycorus Stakes (8/1) at Leopardstown (7.2f, good to soft) 17 days ago. Enters calculations. Beaten only a neck in Athasi Stakes over 7f here, needs to step on more recent form. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
Irish 1,000 Guineas sixth AZADA can make the most of this easier opportunity. The Dermot Weld-trained filly, who was making the first start of her three-year-old career, is entitled to have come on from that seasonal reappearance. Given connections' decision to pitch her into a Classic on just her second start, the Aga Khan-owned daughter of Siyouni is clearly held in some regard. Joseph O'Brien's Atlantic Coast filled the same position in the 2,000 Guineas here but has yet to recapture his juvenile form. A very smart two-year-old, there is still time for the colt to deliver on that promise. Dundalk winner Mundi was well beaten here last time but the fact Ryan Moore remains loyal is surely significant.
AZADA has much less on her plate than when sixth in the Irish 1000 Guineas here last time so is fancied to resume winning ways at the chief expense of course-scorer Dunum who also has the form to play a big part. You Send Me and Mundi appeal as the pick of the rest for minor honours.
Dermot Weld aimed high with AZADA in the Irish 1,000 Guineas and she could be hard to beat at this level

1st (5)  (13/8 +13%)Los Angeles |
13/8(+13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Los Angeles 13/8, Followed debut success by winning the Group 1 Criterium de Saint-Cloud (1¼m, soft) in October. Proved a length too strong for Euphoric in Derby Trial at Leopardstown on return before very good third (3¼ lengths behind Ambiente Friendly) in Derby at Epsom. Can do better again and big shout. Lost unbeaten record at Epsom, should make a bold bid in rematch with Ambiente Friendly. |
|||
2nd (7)  (16/1 +20%)Sunway |
16/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Sunway 16/1, Winner of the Group 1 Criterium International at Saint-Cloud on his final 2-y-o start but winless from 3 starts this season, running to form but only seventh in Prix du Jockey Club at Chantilly 4 weeks ago. Step up in trip should at least suit. Group 1-winning juvenile needs to improve on what he has done in France this season. |
|||
3rd (1)  (6/4 -9%)Ambiente Friendly |
6/4(-9%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Ambiente Friendly 6/4, Gleneagles colt who burst on to the scene with an emphatic 4½ length success in the Lingfield Derby Trial (11.5f, good to firm). Excellent second in Derby itself at Epsom 4 weeks ago and obvious claims of going one better. Impressed at Lingfield, every chance of upholding Derby form with third-placed Los Angeles. |
|||
4th (6)  (13/2 +13%)Matsuri |
13/2(+13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Matsuri 13/2, Confirmed debut promise to win 13-runner novice at Kempton (8f) in November and improved another chunk when easily defying a penalty in novice at Leicester on return. This is a massive step up but he's potentially very smart. Impressive winner at Leicester, first attempt in a stakes race but a serious contender. |
|||
5th (4)  (125/1 -89%)Keeper's Heart |
125/1(-89%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Keeper's Heart 125/1, Useful colt who improved when1½ lengths fourth of 5 to Los Angeles in Derby Trial Stakes (18/1) at Leopardstown (10f, good to firm) on return. However, failed to build on that in listed event there since and this is a huge ask. Limitations evident at this trip in a Listed race at Leopardstown, rank outsider. |
|||
6th (8)  (40/1 +20%)The Euphrates |
40/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) The Euphrates 40/1, Confirmed debut promise with victory in 10-runner maiden at Gowran (8.3f) in October and improved another chunk when second in Group 3 at Leopardstown on return. However, limitations rather exposed in Lingfield Derby Trial/King Edward Stakes since. Failed to make an impact in the King Edward VII Stakes, making up the numbers. |
|||
7th (3)  (28/1 -100%)Grosvenor Square |
28/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Grosvenor Square 28/1, Winner of 2 of his 3 starts as a 2-y-o, signing campaign off with success in the Eyrefield Stakes at Leopardstown. Shaped as if better for the run after 7 months off when 10½ lengths third to the ill-fated Hidden Law in Chester Vase (12.3f, good) and remains open to improvement. Half-brother to the 2020 winner, smart juvenile form, disappointing show in Chester Vase. |
|||
8th (2)  (33/1 +0%)Euphoric |
33/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Euphoric 33/1, Won sole start at 2 and better form in defeat this year, going down by a length to stablemate Los Angeles in the Derby Trial at Leopardstown. However, used as a pacemaker when ninth in Derby at Epsom and may take up similar duties again. Supplied the pace at Leopardstown and Epsom and is scheduled for the same duties here. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
Epsom Derby runner-up AMBIENTE FRIENDLY can land the Irish equivalent for trainer James Fanshawe. Winner of the Lingfield Derby Trial on his penultimate start, the son of Gleneagles has upwards of 5lb in hand on official ratings. His main threat may come from Los Angeles, a place behind in the Epsom Classic. Aidan O'Brien's first string lost his unbeaten record on that occasion but should be better suited to the Curragh. Ryan Moore is sure to have Ambiente Friendly in his sights throughout. Although unable to get competitive at the business end of the French Derby, Sunway didn't get the clearest of passages. Oisin Murphy will be hoping for better luck here.
AMBIENTE FRIENDLY was beaten only by a potential superstar in the Derby at Epsom and should take all the beating. Los Angeles fared best of those ridden up with the pace when over 3 lengths behind the selection that day so it wouldn't surprise if he bridged the gap. Matsuri is taking a huge step up in class but he could hardly have created a better impression at Ripon and is the potential fly in the ointment.
Derby third Los Angeles has a significant gap to bridge and AMBIENTE FRIENDLY can stay well enough to cope with his challenge.

14/1(+30%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Booyea 14/1, 1 win from 1 run this year. 9/2, career best when winning 4-runner minor event at Fairyhouse (7f, good) 16 days ago, slowly away. Not taken lightly in his current mood. Has been handed a 9lb rise for winning a 7f conditions race at Fairyhouse, vulnerable now. |
|||
2nd (9)  (20/1 -25%)No More Porter |
20/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) No More Porter 20/1, C&D winner. Respectable sixth of 13 in handicap at this C&D (heavy, 9/2). Off 7 months. Stable in good form. Can give a good account. Often runs well in big-value handicaps but on a long losing run and lacks a recent outing. |
|||
3rd (10)  (33/1 -340%)Verhoyen |
33/1(-340%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Verhoyen 33/1, 6-time course winner. Good second of 8 in handicap (15/2) at Fairyhouse (7f, good) 23 days ago, sticking to task.

|||

9/4(+36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) State Actor 9/4, Promising individual. 2 wins from 3 runs this year. 11/2, career best when winning 14-runner handicap at this C&D (good) 37 days ago. Well on top at the finish there so big shout. Backed up C&D maiden win with handicap debut success here, further progress is feasible. |

5th (15)  (33/1 -65%)May Night |
33/1(-65%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (15) May Night 33/1, 2 wins from 6 runs this year. Latest win at Cork in May. Respectable 3½ lengths third of 15 to Brains in handicap at Roscommon (7.7f, good to soft, 7/2) 48 days ago. Not ruled out. Basically an AW specialist but recent turf form offers encouragement, Velazquez aboard. |

9/1(-20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Blues Emperor 9/1, C&D winner. 9/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, creditable 2½ lengths fifth of 14 to State Actor in handicap at this C&D (good) 37 days ago. Can make presence felt. Neck second to Coeur D'Or in 2023 Irish Cambridgeshire, fifth to State Actor on latest. |

40/1(-186%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Shayzann 40/1, Sixth of 7 in minor event (5/1) at Gowran (9.4f, good) 14 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time. Makes handicap debut. Has work to do. Has been highly tried since maiden win, tongue-tie on for handicap debut, could go well. |
|||
8th (11)  (25/1 -56%)Benavente |
25/1(-56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Benavente 25/1, Latest win at Southwell in February. 17/2, very good eighth of 14 in handicap at this course (7f, good) 37 days ago, not ideally placed. Can go well. Better known as a solid AW performer, other have much stronger turf credentials. |
|||
9th (8)  (12/1 -9%)Physique |
12/1(-9%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Physique 12/1, 11/4, creditable third of 6 in handicap at Limerick (8f, good to firm) 18 days ago. One for the shortlist. Ran well under a big weight at Limerick last time but this may prove too competitive. |
|||
10th (1)  (5/1 +23%)Coeur D'or |
5/1(+23%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Coeur D'or 5/1, C&D winner. Good sixth of 29 in Hunt Cup at Royal Ascot (8f, firm, 12/1) 11 days ago, having to pick way through. Yard going well so he's a contender. Last year's Irish Cambridgeshire winner, big run possible after Royal Hunt Cup sixth. |
|||
11th (14)  (16/1 -14%)Concluding Call |
16/1(-14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (14) Concluding Call 16/1, Lightly-raced winner. 1 win from 3 runs this year. Winner at Navan in May. Respectable sixth of 13 in handicap at Leopardstown (9f, good to soft, 7/2) 17 days ago, needing stronger gallop. In the picture. Maiden winner at Navan, unplaced favourite on handicap debut, plenty to prove as a result. |
|||
12th (7)  (16/1 -33%)Casanova |
16/1(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Casanova 16/1, Thirty runs since last win in 2021. 12/1, creditable 2¼ lengths fourth of 14 to State Actor in handicap at this C&D (good) 37 days ago. Yard in good form. Should go well again. Split Cheers Again and Blues Emperor when fourth to State Actor last time, each-way hope. |
|||
13th (5)  (9/1 -13%)Cheers Again |
9/1(-13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Cheers Again 9/1, Latest win at Dundalk in December. Good 1¾ lengths third of 14 to State Actor in handicap at this C&D (good, 6/1) 37 days ago. Not discounted. 3-3 on AW, 0-11 on turf but worth considering on C&D third behind State Actor. |
|||
14th (12)  (28/1 -331%)Morse |
28/1(-331%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Morse 28/1, Lightly-raced winner. 1 win from 3 runs this year. 10/1, career best when winning 14-runner handicap at Leopardstown (8f, heavy) 84 days ago, suited by emphasis on stamina. Open to further improvement. Ground was heavy when he made a winning handicap debut at Leopardstown, solid form on AW. |
|||
15th (13)  (28/1 -12%)Brains |
28/1(-12%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) Brains 28/1, Latest win at Roscommon in May. Creditable third of 8 in handicap (11/2) at Leopardstown (7.2f, good to soft) 17 days ago. Ought to be in the shake-up. 11-time AW winner has been showing consistent form on turf lately, good 5lb claimer booked. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
The Paul Flynn-trained CHEERS AGAIN can open his account on turf. A three-time winner at Dundalk, the five-year-old was somewhat unlucky in running when third over this course and distance last time. Short of room on the rail over two furlongs out, the gelding finished strongly once the gaps appeared. State Actor, the winner of that race, gives the impression of having plenty more to offer. The lightly-raced four-year-old quickened up smartly to score and has scope off 9lb higher. Colin Keane looks a significant booking. Coeur d'Or makes a quick reappearance having performed really well at Royal Ascot and is also noted.
Plenty are in with a shout but STATE ACTION rates just the pick of these weights and with the prospect of better to come he can follow up his C&D success. Coeur d'Or heads the list of dangers on the back of his good Royal Ascot Hunt Cup sixth. although Morse, Verhoyen, No More Porter and Casanova can all have a say too.
An each-way suggestion is CASANOVA who is on a long losing sequence but has been showing consistent form

Cheekpieces back on. Naas comeback win augurs well; rider's claim offsets rise so big player. |
|||
3rd (16)  (28/1 -12%)Profit Refused |
28/1(-12%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (16) Profit Refused 28/1, Lightly-raced winner. Eighth of 11 in handicap at this course (8f, good to soft, 22/1) 35 days ago. Not easy to make a case for. Needs to take a fair step forward to feature here from 4lb out of handicap. |
|||
4th (9)  (11/1 +21%)Dagoda |
11/1(+21%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Dagoda 11/1, C&D winner. Tenth of 14 in handicap at Naas (5.9f, soft, 11/1) 62 days ago. Booking of Oisin Murphy catches the eye. C&D winner wants softer ground. |
|||
5th (2)  (12/1 -100%)Dance Night Andday |
12/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Dance Night Andday 12/1, 2 wins from 2 runs this year. Career best when winning 9-runner handicap at this course (6f, good, 10/3) 37 days ago, all out. Should remain competitive up another 5 lb. Much improved filly 13lb higher for two wins last month; upped in trip. |
|||
6th (14)  (9/1 +55%)Raknah |
9/1(+55%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (14) Raknah 9/1, 1 win from 3 runs this year. Latest win at Lingfield in March. Creditable seventh of 30 in handicap at Royal Ascot (8f, good to firm, 80/1) 9 days ago. Good Ascot run on third turf start; 2lb wrong but rider's claim negates that; respected. |
|||

40/1(-150%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) Matter Of Fact 40/1, Lightly-raced winner. 9½ lengths ninth of 13 to Cherry Blossom in listed race at Cork (5.5f, good, 25/1) 51 days ago, not knocked about. Up in trip. Makes handicap debut. Difficult ask. Disappointing in Cork Listed on return; steps up in trip on handicap debut (3lb wrong). |

Yard in good form. Should continue to give a good account. Recent Down Royal winner up 4lb but may still have improvement in her. |

16th (3)  (100/1 -525%)Vasda |
100/1(-525%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Vasda 100/1, Fairly useful 1m winner in France. Not obviously well handicapped but has joined a leading stable. The betting should help guide to expectations. French recruit, bought for 160,000euros; just may need this. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
The Dermot Weld-trained KAYHANA can step up on her reappearance second at this venue. Having her first start since last September, the Aga Khan-owned filly only weakened late on over a mile and dropping back a furlong should be very much in her favour here. Naas winner Plume Noire had a bit in hand on that occasion so might still be fairly treated off a revised mark. The fact that James Ryan can take 5lb off is worth its weight in gold in a race of this nature. Dagoda seems to reserve her best for the Curragh, so the Jennifer Lynch-trained mare has to be a contender under Oisin Murphy.
KAYHANA gets the nod to build on an encouraging comeback run over 1m here, with the drop to 7f probably a help if anything. Fast Tara has run 2 solid races this term and heads the dangers along with Coumshingaun and Talia.
Only caught late on here on seasonal return over 1m on Guineas' weekend, KHAYANA should appreciate this drop in trip and gets the vote

12/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Safecracker 12/1, Won this race last year. Encouraging reappearance here last month but down the field at Royal Ascot (last week. Last year's winner off 4lb lower; never showed at Ascot but still respected. |

13/2(-8%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Lot Of Joy 13/2, 6/1, respectable eleventh of 31 in Cesarewitch at Newmarket (18f, good to soft) when last seen in October.

4th (10)  (10/3 +17%)Intellotto |
10/3(+17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Intellotto 10/3, Useful hurdler. Lightly-raced winner on Flat. Didn't need to be at best when winning 8-runner maiden at Sligo (10.6f, good, 4/9) 46 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Open to progress. Very useful juvenile hurdler; unexposed on the Flat, no surprise if he proved competitive. |
|||
5th (11)  (9/1 -80%)Pinot Gris |
9/1(-80%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Pinot Gris 9/1, Two Flat wins last summer and arrives on the back of success in a 16-runner juvenile hurdle at Bellewstown (17f, good to soft, 2/5) 67 days ago, easily.

|||
6th (12)  (6/1 +0%)Carlo Bianconi |
6/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Carlo Bianconi 6/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Respectable third of 10 in handicap (9/4) at Cork (12f, good) 16 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Trainer going well. Big player. Recent staying-on Cork third; interesting to see what tactics top US jockey employs. |
|||
7th (7)  (33/1 -65%)War Correspondent |
33/1(-65%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) War Correspondent 33/1, Untrustworthy individual. Winner at Dundalk in February. 9/2, creditable third of 12 in handicap hurdle at Listowel (16f, good to soft) 27 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Not the easiest to win with; jockey booking encouraging but remains opposable. |
|||
8th (4)  (11/4 +0%)Saturn |
11/4(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Saturn 11/4, Promising individual. 2 wins from 3 runs this year. Career best when winning 11-runner handicap (5/4) at this course (14f, good to firm) 25 days ago, just holding on. Looks competitive on form. Improving 4yo on a roll and although 12lb higher now this year retains respect. |
|||
9th (6)  (200/1 -150%)Mt Leinster |
200/1(-150%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Mt Leinster 200/1, C&D winner. 150/1, well-beaten tenth of 11 to Saturn in handicap at this course (14f, good to firm) 25 days ago, very slowly away. Tongue strap back on. Uphill task. Did well under both codes for Willie Mullins; shown little for current yard though. |
|||
10th (3)  (40/1 +0%)Dame Rapide |
40/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Dame Rapide 40/1, Course winner. 20/1, bit below form 10 lengths sixth of 11 to Saturn in handicap at this course (14f, good to firm) 25 days ago. Dual 1m6f winner here but below best in recent similar contest won by Saturn; bit to find. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
Last year's runner-up ZOFFMAN was unable to get to Safecracker on that occasion but holds every chance at these revised weights. Fresh from a close second in the Cork Derby earlier this month, the five-year-old should go close under Colin Keane. The aforementioned Safecracker carried a big weight to victory in 2023, so the fact he has topweight is less of a concern. Johnny Murtagh's gelding seldom runs a bad race at this track. Having won twice over hurdles recently, Joseph O'Brien's lightly-raced Intellotto could be open to further improvement on the Flat this season.
SATURN can continue his progression and defy the handicapper again. The John Velazquez-ridden Carlo Bianconi definitely has a race in him off this sort of mark and is second choice ahead of stablemate Intellotto and Gavin Cromwell's Pinot Gris.
Very useful hurdler INTELLOTTO is unexposed on the Flat and should relish this trip

Horse racing is a popular and historic sport in the UK, with a tradition dating back centuries. It is a multi-billion pound industry that attracts millions of spectators each year and generates significant economic activity.
There are two main types of horse racing in the UK: flat racing and jump racing. Flat racing is run on a level course and is typically shorter in distance, while jump racing involves horses jumping over obstacles and is generally longer in distance. Both types of racing are popular with spectators and bettors, and they take place at various racetracks throughout the country.
The most famous horse racing event in the UK is the Grand National, which is held annually at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool. It is a jump racing event that is known for its challenging course and has become a national institution in the UK. Other notable horse racing events in the UK include the Derby, held at Epsom Downs Racecourse in Surrey, and the Royal Ascot, held at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire.
Horse racing in the UK is regulated by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA), which sets rules and standards for the industry. It is responsible for the welfare of racehorses and the safety of jockeys and trainers, as well as ensuring fair and transparent racing practices.
In addition to its economic and cultural importance, horse racing in the UK also plays a significant role in the breeding and training of thoroughbred horses. Many of the world's top thoroughbreds are bred and trained in the UK, and the industry plays a vital role in the preservation and promotion of the breed.
Overall, horse racing is an integral part of British culture and a major contributor to the country's economy. It is a thrilling and exciting sport that continues to attract a loyal following and generate significant interest from spectators and bettors around the world.
