Joseph O'Brien's AERONAUTIC catches the eye on his handicap debut. This Gleneagles gelding is a lightly-raced sort who has won two of his four races. On his latest outing, he was beaten two lengths into fourth in Listed company at Leopardstown last summer. He can have a say off a mark of 96. Himalayan Heights is race-fit from a decisive victory in a Leopardstown handicap in April. Afterwards, connections commented that he has matured since last season so there should be more to come from him. Longbourn has gone well fresh before and is well versed in big-field handicaps. Cloud Seeker is climbing the weights but has a more-than-decent win ratio, which will stand him in good stead. |
Plenty to consider with DUTCH GOLD topping the list after running well when a close fifth at Cork last time, an effort that can be upgraded a little as he briefly met some trouble in running and came from off of a pretty ordinary pace. This C&D winner is on a good mark on his peak form. Old rival Star Harbour may be next best ahead of lightly-raced Ballinrobe second Molto Amichi. Himalayan Heights, Ceallach and potential improver Retracement are others for the shortlist. |

Didn't get a clear run when close fifth over 12f at Cork last time; cheekpieces first time; C&D winner in 2023; fast ground would be an unknown but interesting off good mark otherwise. |

Joseph O'Brien's AERONAUTIC catches the eye on his handicap debut. This Gleneagles gelding is a lightly-raced sort who has won two of his four races. On his latest outing, he was beaten two lengths into fourth in Listed company at Leopardstown last summer. He can have a say off a mark of 96. Himalayan Heights is race-fit from a decisive victory in a Leopardstown handicap in April. Afterwards, connections commented that he has matured since last season so there should be more to come from him. Longbourn has gone well fresh before and is well versed in big-field handicaps. Cloud Seeker is climbing the weights but has a more-than-decent win ratio, which will stand him in good stead. |
Plenty to consider with DUTCH GOLD topping the list after running well when a close fifth at Cork last time, an effort that can be upgraded a little as he briefly met some trouble in running and came from off of a pretty ordinary pace. This C&D winner is on a good mark on his peak form. Old rival Star Harbour may be next best ahead of lightly-raced Ballinrobe second Molto Amichi. Himalayan Heights, Ceallach and potential improver Retracement are others for the shortlist. |

Fairly useful for William Haggas last season; 24,000gns purchase; lightly-raced possible improver as a 4yo now; bold show wouldn't surprise. |

Down the field back on the Flat and returning from a short break last time; slower ground would probably suit better; others preferred. |

Not quite the force of old and though this 8yo had excuses of sorts last time (tardily away, raced wide) bit to prove overall. |

Lightly-raced maiden who went close when second at Ballinrobe on seasonal debut recently; up in grade but may well be sharper today and has to be respected. |
