6/1

Quickly developed into a smart performer last season, winning 3 of 4 starts in handicaps including a game success in the Balmoral at Ascot. Absent 8 months since, but he's well worth his place at this level for his much-respected trainer.

6/1

Made the frame 3 times at the highest level last year, including when fourth in Irish Champion Stakes. Unable to capitalise on drop to listed level when second past the post in race won by Isaac Newton at Navan on return, demoted for causing interference. Cheekpieces applied.

Form: 35440-D

Purview³⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Colin Keane| T: D K Weld| OR: 118| C| D

1/1

Won sole start at 2 yrs and signed off last season with listed success at Cork (10.5f) in September. Made an excellent impression on return when also winning listed race at this course (1½m) last month by 6 lengths from Trustyourinstinct. Looks ready for this step up in grade.

17/2

Recorded back-to-back wins at this course last season, including this race. Second to Purview in listed contest here last month, before landing the odds in 4-runner minor event at Gowran (third success in the race) 16 days ago. Can give his running once more.

Form: 176-721

Sindria²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Dylan Browne McMonagle| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 100

25/1

Impressive winner of a 1m Gowran handicap on return and followed up in listed race at the same course (9.5f). Found it tough in Group 2 here subsequently, but got back on track when third in listed contest at Navan (1m) last time. Could still have more to offer over this trip.

Geryon^t²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Gary Carroll| T: G M Lyons| OR: 102| C

16/1

Runner-up in pair of Group 2s as a juvenile and, with hood fitted, got back to a similar level when third past the post in listed race won by Isaac Newton at Navan 3 weeks ago, promoted to second after suffering interference. More required if he's to add to his debut success.

Form: 122-442

Isaac Newton²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: R L Moore| T: A P O'Brien| OR: 105

6/1

Off the mark in a Glorious Goodwood maiden last year and made the frame in a Group 1 at Saint-Cloud to end the campaign. Below-par efforts to start this season, but got back on the up when overcoming trouble to win listed race at Navan 3 weeks ago. Can make his presence felt.

Form: 154-451

Forecasts

Purview (1/1), Hotazhell (6/1), Isaac Newton (6/1), Crown Of Oaks (6/1), Trustyourinstinct (17/2), Geryon (16/1), Sindria (25/1), Tiberius Thunder (100/1)

PURVIEW made a most impressive return to action with a strong-travelling success in a listed race here in May and he can continue his progress to follow up in this higher grade. The main danger could be Isaac Newton, who did well under the circumstances when winning a Navan listed contest himself last time, ahead of British raider Crown of Oaks.
