28/1

Unreliable type who was a Group 1 winner in his pomp for the Gosden stable but proved more miss than hit in 5 starts in Meydan for current yard this year. Others more convincing.

Form: 5-30009

11/4

Better than ever for new yard when landing Park Express Stakes at the Curragh (1m) in April. Backed it up with a solid 3 lengths seventh in Lanwades Stud Stakes there (1m) 18 days ago so she's no forlorn hope.

Form: 7402-17

East Hampton⁷⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Luke McAteer| T: D Marnane| OR: 109| D

4/1

Smart gelding who resumed from 7 months off with a good 1½ lengths second of 10 to Big Gossey in Gladness Stakes at the Curragh (7f) in March, faring best of those held up. Has won off a break so needs considering with ground conditions to suit.

Form: 45260-2

6/4

Progressed really well once visored in 2025, smart effort to land Challenge Cup at Ascot in October. Returned with a good second in Group 3 at Saint-Cloud and best forgiven his subsequent seventh to Wannabe Royal in listed race at Naas (7f) 25 days ago when left poorly placed. The form pick.

Form: 3115-27

Zodiac Bear³⁶⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Ben Coen| T: J P Murtagh| OR: 103| CD

14/1

Kodi Bear gelding who impressively landed C&D maiden before posting a fine third of 11 in this event 12 months ago. Absent since but he remains with potential after just 3 runs.

Form: 013-

Wannabe Royal²⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Ronan Whelan| T: H De Bromhead| OR: 100| D

8/1

Useful filly who advanced her form when making all in 8-runner listed race at Naas (7f) 25 days ago by head from Expanded, just holding on. This demands another clear personal best though.

Form: 734-581

(2)

Redemption Road³⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Robbie Colgan| T: D Marnane| OR: 100| D

12/1

Useful gelding. Very good third in Group 3 over C&D in April but only sixth of 7 to Causeway in listed race at the Curragh (1m) since. Has plenty to find on form.

Form: 128-336

Forecasts

Native Warrior (6/4), Celestial Orbit (11/4), East Hampton (4/1), Wannabe Royal (8/1), Oh Cecelia (10/1), Redemption Road (12/1), Zodiac Bear (14/1), Audience (28/1)

NATIVE WARRIOR wasn't seen at his best when seventh at Naas last time and Karl Burke's very smart sort is fancied to bounce back in style and open his account for 2026 here. East Hampton appeals as the one to give him most to do on the back of a good second in the Gladness ahead of Celestial Orbit and Oh Cecelia.
