3/1
Smart gelding. 6/1 and cheekpieces on for first time, career best when winning 7-runner Alleged Stakes at this C&D (good) 23 days ago by 2½ lengths from Jan Brueghel, driven out. Seen to maximum effect on that occasion and this is a different ask but he's fit and in form.

10/11
Very smart colt, winning the Irish Derby here in June. 13/2, 8½ lengths ninth of 11 to Anmaat in Champion Stakes at Ascot (10f, soft). Off 6 months but that no concern given yard he represents and this 2-time Group 1 winner is a massive player.

33/1
Useful gelding. 20/1, first run since leaving Jane Chapple-Hyam when creditable 5½ lengths third of 7 to Galen in Alleged Stakes at this C&D (good) 23 days ago, faring best of those held up. This is a different ask.

100/1
Useful gelding. Career best when winning 9-runner listed race at Naas (10.4f, heavy, 6/1) 43 days ago by 2¾ lengths from Enfranchise, driven clear. Up against it in this line up.

11/1
Smart gelding. C&D winner. 15/8, respectable 4½ lengths third of 9 to Sunchart in listed race at Naas (10.4f, heavy) 43 days ago, faring best of those ridden prominently. Can build on that, but he'll certainly need to.

3/1
High-class horse. 3-time C&D winner, including this race s year ago. Career best when winning 8-runner Tattersalls Gold Cup (15/8) at this course (10.5f, good to soft) by 3 lengths from Auguste Rodin, driven clear. Off 11 months but sets the standard on that performance.

Forecasts

Los Angeles (10/11), White Birch (3/1), Galen (3/1), Trustyourinstinct (11/1), Sons And Lovers (33/1), Sunchart (100/1)

16:10 Curragh - 5 May 2025 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

Last year's winner WHITE BIRCH doesn't have the benefit of a run this time but he produced a high-class performance when a commanding winner of the Tattersalls Gold Cup 11 months ago and if he returns at that level, he'll take some stopping. Los Angeles is the clear-second choice.
