Having been successful off a similar break in the past, GENUINE ARTICLE can make a winning reappearance. Lightly raced for previous connections, the five-year-old has shaped with promise on more than one occasion since joining Gerry Keane. Third over C&D on his final start last season, the gelding remains open to further improvement. Merisi Diamond, who looked to be coming to hand when fourth at Limerick last month, shouldn't be far away. Although versatile when it comes to trip, this appears to be his optimum distance. Pinar Del Rio is entitled to be sharper for his recent narrow defeat at Naas. |
Many to consider closely in a wide-open race. GOAL EXCEEDED resumes on a decent mark on his best 2024 form and, having joined a decent yard, may be able to capitalise on it at the first time of asking for them. Pinar Del Rio shades Genuine Article as next best with Plume Noire, Shavasi and previous dual winner of this, Verhoyen, among the many others shortlisted. |

Having been successful off a similar break in the past, GENUINE ARTICLE can make a winning reappearance. Lightly raced for previous connections, the five-year-old has shaped with promise on more than one occasion since joining Gerry Keane. Third over C&D on his final start last season, the gelding remains open to further improvement. Merisi Diamond, who looked to be coming to hand when fourth at Limerick last month, shouldn't be far away. Although versatile when it comes to trip, this appears to be his optimum distance. Pinar Del Rio is entitled to be sharper for his recent narrow defeat at Naas. |
Many to consider closely in a wide-open race. GOAL EXCEEDED resumes on a decent mark on his best 2024 form and, having joined a decent yard, may be able to capitalise on it at the first time of asking for them. Pinar Del Rio shades Genuine Article as next best with Plume Noire, Shavasi and previous dual winner of this, Verhoyen, among the many others shortlisted. |

Ended 2024 on a low-key note on AW in December; interesting on debut second (1m, good to firm) and AW win (7f) in maidens previously; lightly raced, so possible improver this year too. |

7f is the big question, as he remains unproven at this trip; ran okay in big field here last time; previous reappearance run was promising and sound overall record here; considered. |

May be better on the AW, though the evidence isn't conclusive; 7f stamina unproven; bit to prove on most recent winter AW form. |

Off since down the field upped to 7f on AW in October; won 6f maiden here previously; well-bred and lightly-raced 5yo and wouldn't be a massive surprise to see her involved. |
