Verdict

KAKORI finished well from too far back on her handicap debut last autumn and appeals as one who can win races for her leading stable this year. Goldrush Kid catches the eye having dipped to 2 lb lower than when successful in this last year. Like the selection, Tara Na Ri is a low-mileage 4-y-o who should have more to come in 2026. Convincing also makes the shortlist.

  1. KAKORI (IRE)
  2. GOLDRUSH KID (IRE)
  3. TARA NA RI (IRE)
