Diego El Queso¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: Jack Kearney| T: G M Lyons| OR: 99| D

11/1

Further progress this year, winning at Leopardstown in April before looking rather unlucky in a big-field handicap at Glorious Goodwood. Quickly back on track when beaten only by a very smart prospect in listed race at Leopardstown 2 weeks ago and he remains of interest off his current mark.

Eastwatch^v1²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: Andrew Slattery| T: A Slattery| OR: 96

10/1

Has failed to kick on since his reappearance second over C&D but has at least shown a bit more in cheekpieces of late and visor now given a whirl. Drop back to 1m could also be in his favour.

Form: 5-27806

13/2

Goes well here, scoring over C&D in March before narrow winner of a 20-runner handicap (1¼m, good to firm) in May. Just respectable efforts at best off revised mark since, however.

Signs of decline this season and mark looks high enough in handicaps.

Chica Guerrera²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Reese Holohan⁽⁵⁾| T: M Fahey| OR: 92

20/1

Wide-margin winner at Down Royal in June. Excellent second off revised mark at Sligo and Leopardstown but was well below par tried at listed level last 2 starts.

Hellorhighwater²³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Ben Coen| T: N Lupini| OR: 92| D

9/1

Progressive form in maidens for Gavin Cromwell last season, getting off the mark at Cork. Successful return for new stable at Limerick in April and quickly resumed progress/winning ways at Dundalk 23 days ago. Still lightly raced and should continue to give a good account.

Form: 221-101

Ribee^t⁴⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Seamie Heffernan| T: M Mulvany| OR: 92| CD

20/1

Enjoyed a fine 2025 campaign and improved again as he completed a hat-trick in decisive fashion over C&D on return in March. Has turned in some creditable efforts since but last 2 starts suggest he's gone off the boil.

Form: 527500

Victory Tip¹³⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Billy Lee| T: H De Bromhead| OR: 91| CD

8/1

Successful debut in C&D maiden in March. Thrown in at the deep end for handicap debut in the Britannia at Royal Ascot and found little off the bridle. Not seen since.

Iamimmaculate²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Declan McDonogh| T: Gerard O'Leary| OR: 90| C| D

12/1

Taken his form to the next level last 2 starts, looking unlucky at Listowel (rider mistook the winning post) before quickly gaining compensation 2 weeks later here (9f). Needs considering.

Form: 2-42621

Invincible Will^h,t³⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Gary Carroll| T: G P Cromwell| OR: 90| C

9/1

All 3 career wins over 7f here, including a career best in a minor event 5 weeks ago, value extra after coming from last. Should stay and looks on a good mark back in a handicap.

Form: 818251

Lady Lilac^b²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Paddy Harnett⁽³⁾| T: J G Murphy| OR: 85| D

12/1

Went close in a big field over C&D on return but she hasn't kicked on, though best effort since when fifth back here (9f) after a 10-week break last month.

Uncle Goalie¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Luke McAteer| T: Rory Devine| OR: 87| C| D

6/1

Progressive sort who went close to completing a hat-trick at Leopardstown 2 weeks ago. Remains unexposed so he's on the shortlist.

Form: 43113

Majestic King¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 8-11| J: J M Sheridan| T: D Hogan| OR: 82| D

6/1

Got back on the up when readily doubling his tally at Listowel in September and good placed efforts both starts since, only just failing at Leopardstown 2 weeks ago. Remains of interest.

Sanctijude¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: Gavin Ryan| T: W McCreery| OR: 83| D

33/1

Belatedly got off the mark in 1m maiden at Gowran in May and added another success at Punchestown. Got going too late at Navan before out of her depth last time.

Harana^v1⁴⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 8-7| J: Chris Hayes| T: D K Weld| OR: 78

12/1

Improved when winning maiden at Ballinrobe in June and firmly back on track despite carrying her head awkwardly when second at Navan. Made effort earlier than ideal at Punchestown since. Change of headgear and back down in trip.

Ryefield Dasher²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: Nicola Burns⁽⁵⁾| T: T Gibney| OR: 80

12/1

Improved to win a Gowran maiden (9.5f) in September and followed up when making all in minor event at Roscommon (10.5f) 3 weeks ago, very much having run of race. Work to do if he's to complete a hat-trick returned to a handicap and back down in trip.

Cherry Hill Girl^b1²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: Orla Tynan⁽⁷⁾| T: A Slattery| OR: 74| D

Ran poorly at Naas last time. First-time headgear goes on but she's easy to oppose from out of the handicap.

Spectical³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: Jessica O'Gorman⁽⁷⁾| T: Ciaran Murphy| OR: 72

Some promise in 2 starts for Mrs J. Harrington last year but hasn't kicked on in 4 outings this season, trained by Andrew Balding on the first 2 occasions. 8 lb out of the handicap.

Form: 54-5096

Forecasts

Uncle Goalie (6/1), Majestic King (6/1), Perry Mason (13/2), Expert Dancer (7/1), Victory Tip (8/1), Invincible Will (9/1), Hellorhighwater (9/1), Eastwatch (10/1), Diego El Queso (11/1), Lady Lilac (12/1), Iamimmaculate (12/1), Ryefield Dasher (12/1), Harana (12/1), Ribee (20/1), Chica Guerrera (20/1), Cherry Hill Girl (28/1), Sanctijude (33/1), Cristal Clere (33/1), Java Wood (40/1), Amplitude (40/1), Titanium (40/1), Spectical (100/1)

Ultra competitive with the tentative vote going to INVINCIBLE WILL, who looks on a good mark back in a handicap. Fellow 3-y-os Iamimmaculate, Expert Dancer and Uncle Goalie are on the shortlist, with Diego el Queso and Majestic King making most appeal of the older brigade.
