Terre De Vega^h,t⁸²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-13| J: Chris Hayes| T: J A Kinsella| OR: 88

40/1

Very lightly-raced 5-y-o who ran well to finish second in 1m Leopardstown handicap on first start after leaving William Haggas last October. He's clearly fragile, having been tailed off both starts since.

Form: 528/20-8

Tiberius Thunder^b1¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-13| J: Donagh O'Connor| T: Robson Aguiar| OR: 100

17/2

Highly tried since making a winning debut at Dundalk last year. Takes a marked drop in grade here and has the chance of bouncing back to form if taking to the first-time blinkers.

Form: 548-747

1/12

Won this race in 2023 and 2024. Scored twice at the Curragh last year, including 1¼m International Stakes. Stepped up on reappearance when second in listed race there (1½m, good to firm) last month. Takes a marked drop in class/trip and is very well treated by the conditions of this race.

Already a dual winner of this race, TRUSTYOURINSTINCT showed the benefit of his reappearance run when second at the Curragh last month and, very well treated by the conditions of this race, he ought to take some stopping. Tiberius Thunder could emerge as the chief danger equipped with first-time blinkers.
