Layfayette^p,t¹⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 9-9| J: J J G Ryan| T: N Meade| OR: 103| CD

11/2

Useful gelding. C&D winner. 33/1, 3½ lengths fourth of 7 to Green Impact in listed race at Leopardstown (9f, good) 16 days ago, missing break. Significantly back up in trip and cheekpieces back on. Looks vulnerable.

Form: 0320-64

Queenstown^b²⁵²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: R P Whelan| T: A P O'Brien| OR: 105| D

85/40

Smart gelding. Bit below form eleventh of 24 in handicap at Newmarket (18f, soft, 12/1) when last seen 8 months ago. Will take plenty of stopping, provided that he copes with this drop back in trip.

Form: 1/32200-

Drawn To Dream²²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: D W O'Connor| T: R O'Sullivan| OR: 96

40/1

Useful mare. 40/1 and blinkered for 1st time, below form 8¾ lengths sixth of 12 to Sea Theme in listed race at Lingfield (13f, AW). Off 7 months and she's opposable on debut for new yard.

Form: 684276-

Lady Doris⁴⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: P A Harnett| T: Donnacha O'Brien| OR: 92

14/1

Useful filly. Blinkered for 1st time, 10 lengths sixth of 7 to Goodie Two Shoes in listed race at Gowran (14f, good, 11/1) 45 days ago. Others preferred.

Form: 5505-66

(5)

Lemsairbat⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: M W Hassett| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 96| D

7/4

Useful filly. 2¼ lengths second of 10 to Magical Hope in Munster Oaks at Cork (12f, good to soft, 18/1) 8 days ago. Yard also saddles Uluru. One to consider.

Form: 310-332

(1)

Uluru⁴⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: C D Hayes| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 99

6/1

Useful filly. 11½ lengths tenth of 12 to Madam Celeste in listed race (4/1) at Gowran (9.4f, good) 45 days ago. Significantly up in trip and will be a danger to all if she's on-song and sees this trip out.

Form: 3253-40

(7)

Sharpen²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: A J Slattery| T: Donnacha O'Brien

11/1

Twice-raced winner. 1 win from 2 runs this year. Won 10-runner maiden (14/1) at the Curragh (10f, good) 27 days ago. Up in trip and she's unexposed, but this demands a significant step forward.

Form: 71

Forecasts

Lemsairbat (7/4), Queenstown (85/40), Layfayette (11/2), Uluru (6/1), Sharpen (11/1), Lady Doris (14/1), Drawn To Dream (40/1)

If QUEENSTOWN resumes anywhere near his best he will prove tough to beat. The 5-y-o chased home his brilliant former stablemate Kyprios twice last spring and the 2¼m trip probably proved beyond him when down the field in the Cesarewitch on his final start of 2024. The Joseph O'Brien-trained duo Lemsairbat and Uluru can fill the places.
