Equitant⁴⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: S M Crosse⁽⁵⁾| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 90| D

10/1

Winner on turf for trainer Richard Fahey and for current connections on the AW at Dundalk but the Equiano gelding has not been in the same form in a number of starts at Meydan and on return to action at the Curragh. Best form needed.

Form: 112-000

Port Lions⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Chris Hayes| T: Madeleine Tylicki| OR: 86

4/1

Off the mark for connections at the seventh attempt on turf when landing a Naas 1m handicap in May. Beaten since and may need a couple to falter here.

Form: 4-23019

Honor Oak³⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 9-6| J: W J Lee| T: T Hogan| OR: 85| D

6/1

Winner of three of his 42 starts on turf, the Zebedee mare won a Sligo 6f handicap in May before a couple of setbacks last month. Not to be taken lightly.

Form: 443144

(2)

All The King's Men³¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: D O'Brien| T: A P O'Brien| OR: 92

10/3

Two from nine on turf and sets the standard here off a rating of 92. Positives outweigh the negatives for the No Nay Never colt here and he may take some stopping.

Form: 519-082

(5)

Geological⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 9-3| J: Colin Keane| T: D English| OR: 81| CD

11/4

Gallant, tough and genuine winner of five of his 40 starts on turf. Course winner who has also won over this trip, usually finds himself in front after a furlong but is liable to discover a couple stronger in this grade.

Form: 46U143

Morpho Blue¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: S Foley| T: Mrs J Harrington| OR: 90| C| D

4/1

Distance winner who was last seen winning a 1m fillies contest at this venue last month. Yard in flying form currently and one to follow in the market.

Form: 62-411

Geological (11/4), All The King's Men (10/3), Port Lions (4/1), Morpho Blue (4/1), Honor Oak (6/1), Equitant (10/1)

The Aidan O'Brien-trained ALL THE KING'S MEN went down by a short margin on his latest start at Leopardstown over a similar trip last month but can better that to land the third win of his career in this contest. Still an entire, the No Nay Never colt can see off the the potential challenge of the Jessica Harrington representative, Morpho Blue and Equitant, who is not easily dismissed if recapturing his old form.
