Clem Murphy Memorial Irish European Breeders Fund Mooresbridge Stakes (Group 2)

Smart gelding who was placed in Group 1 company and won a Group 3 when trained by Aidan O'Brien in 2023. Failed to win in Australia subsequently and returns from 6 months off with tongue strap applied on first outing for a new yard.

Bred to be useful and made winning start at Dundalk in September but out of depth on heavy ground in better company the last twice so is hard to fancy unless firmer ground transforms him.

Useful 4-y-o who finished third in strong renewal of the Ballysax last year but beat only one home in Saratoga Derby on final start for Adrian Murray in August. Well beaten on stable debut faced with much more testing ground on reappearance and has plenty to find.

Useful mare who won a listed race here over further in November. Also won similar event on reappearance and performed creditably in Group 3 level when last seen so she's likely to give her running without quite being good enough.

Progressed into a high-class filly last year, notably winning the English and Irish Oaks before impressively claiming the Yorkshire Oaks and giving a cracking show of herself when head second in the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe. Excuses on final outing and will take all the beating on reappearance.

Improved in leaps and bounds last season, following up her win in strong Curragh handicap with an emphatic success in listed race at Leopardstown in October. Struggled on reappearance and needs a lot more tackling Group company for the first time.
