Emporio^t⁴⁷³

Age: 6| Weight: 10-0| J: Hugh Horgan⁽⁵⁾| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 94| D

5/1

8/1, twenty-first of 27 in handicap at the Curragh (8f, heavy). Off 15 months. First run for yard after leaving Donnacha Aidan O'Brien. Tongue strap back on and given major chance by the assessor. Market check vital.

San Andreas⁸⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 10-0| J: S A Wallace⁽¹⁰⁾| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 94| CD

33/1

100/1, 21¾ lengths last of 6 to Yosemite Valley in Gladness Stakes at the Curragh (7f, heavy) 80 days ago and has a fair amount to prove at present.

Form: 386-156

(8)

Daamberdiplomat¹⁰³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Ben Coen| T: J P Murtagh| OR: 89

9/1

Respectable fourth of 12 in handicap (10/3) at Lingfield (6f, AW) given he was short of room. Off 103 days but needs considering from the same mark.

Form: 4431-34

(7)

Bellaphina^p³⁰⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: C D Maxwell| T: J A Kinsella| OR: 85| D

12/1

Respectable tenth of 22 in handicap at the Curragh (6f, good to soft, 50/1). Off 10 months and must improve to defy current mark but she did win on last season's reappearance.

Form: 4/11060-

Lexington Dash^t³³

Age: 7| Weight: 9-4| J: S Foley| T: J C McConnell| OR: 84| CD

7/2

C&D winner. Good third of 8 in handicap at this C&D (good, 25/1) 33 days ago, sure to have finished closer with a clear run. Major claims from same mark.

Form: 0000/3-3

Verhoyen^b¹⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 9-4| J: D E Sheehy| T: M C Grassick| OR: 84| D

7/2

Eleven runs since last win in 2023. Creditable third of 15 in handicap at the Curragh (8f, good, 28/1) 10 days ago. Drop back in trip sure to suit.

Tawaazon^b,t¹¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-1| J: Keithen Kennedy⁽⁷⁾| T: J A Kinsella| OR: 81| D

14/1

Fourteenth of 16 in handicap at the Curragh (6f, good to soft, 16/1) 11 days ago. Blinkers back on.

Form: 7-00620

(9)

Universally^b²⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 8-8| J: Chris Hayes| T: Eoghan O'Neill| OR: 74| C

4/1

Career best when winning 6-runner handicap (13/2) at this course (6f, good) 26 days ago by length from Tawaazon, despite being very slowly away. Can't afford to give that ground away again in a better race.

Form: 153-771

(4)

Mount Ruapehu^t³⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 8-7| J: A J Slattery| T: A Slattery| OR: 72

10/1

10/1, creditable fourth of 13 in handicap at Listowel (6.3f, good) 38 days ago. Now needs to back that up.

Forecasts

Verhoyen (7/2), Lexington Dash (7/2), Universally (4/1), Mercurial (4/1), Emporio (5/1), Daamberdiplomat (9/1), Mount Ruapehu (10/1), Bellaphina (12/1), Tawaazon (14/1), San Andreas (33/1)

Plenty to consider with LEXINGTON DASH just about the most persuasive option having shaped well from his career-low mark over C&D a month ago. Mercurial was better than ever at the Curragh so demands consideration, while it will be interesting to see what the market makes od Emporio.
