6/1
Shaped well in handicaps at Fairyhouse and Curragh over 6f in June. Seventh of 16 in handicap at Naas (9/2) 12 days ago, making headway before effort flattened out, not ideally placed. Could benefit from return to this course where he has a previous win, though has not won for 17 races.

Won a 7f handicap at Fairyhouse (40/1) 67 days ago before finishing sixth of 17 in 8f handicap at Leopardstown (14/1) 25 days ago, not the easiest of rides under pressure. Could be more effective back at today's 7f trip.

Ran well in October with a second at Galway and third at Curragh in 7f handicaps. Finished tenth of 14 in 7f handicap at Leopardstown (12/1) on return 53 days ago. Could show improved form now with that run under the belt.

Better performer over 7f than longer trips, with improved form since returning to this distance. Eighth of 12 in handicap at Leopardstown (12/1) 18 days ago, not seen to best effect when making late headway after being poorly positioned. Engaged 5.35 Galway Sunday.

Showed improved form when runner-up in 7f handicap at Roscommon and 9f handicap at Leopardstown in June/July. Fifth of 7 in 12f handicap at Tramore (9/2) 27 days ago, shaped like a non-stayer. Back at a more suitable trip and one to note.

First past post at Down Royal in June (subsequently demoted to second having caused interference). Seventh of 12 in handicap at Killarney (9/2) 20 days ago when well backed, but raced off the pace and never dangerous. Blinkers back on.

Showed promise with two third-places in 6f handicaps before finishing ninth of 16 at Naas (14/1) 12 days ago when meeting traffic but closing with running left. Step up to 7f could suit based on finishing effort.

15:46 Naas - 4 August 2025 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

STAR MIND shaped like a non-stayer at Tramore but returns to a suitable trip and can end her losing run. Gordon Bennett wasn't ideally placed when seventh at Naas recently but could improve at a track where he's won before. Racing Royalty should be sharper after a comeback run following 8 months off.
