2400m – Turf
1 |
Harbour Wind |
Dropping back from decent run over 2800m on handicap debut and seasonal return at this track. The class act in the field with a Listed win over similar distance a year ago. |
2 |
Star Harbour |
Last year’s winner when rated 3lb lower. Must bounce back from disappointing effort last time but has otherwise been in decent form. |
3 |
Mashhoor |
Showed a bit more promise at the track last time and very smart past form. Should be involved at the finish but might need a bit more help from the handicapper. |
4 |
Westminster Moon |
The 2023 Polish Derby winner has shown little since a move to Ireland this year but represents a trainer who can never be ignored. |
5 |
Lope De Lilas |
Well-regarded filly who ran in last year’s Group 1 Irish Oaks. Still to prove she stays 2400m but well capable of improvement. |
6 |
Cheeky Wink |
Easy win over similar distance on penultimate start at Tipperary but life made more difficult racing off 8lb higher mark. |
7 |
Cloud Seeker |
Has risen right through the ranks and a model of consistency, winning five of last seven starts. Brave in a narrow defeat last time and primed for another strong effort. |
8 |
Fleetfoot |
Very promising in his younger days when close to top-class rivals but mixing hurdling and the Flat with little to show for it in 2025. |
9 |
Soaring Monarch |
Decisive winner over this trip at Listowel last September and now on a rating only 1lb higher. Provided more hope by promising showing last time when denied a clear run. |
10 |
Ceallach |
Five-time all-weather winner but still seeking a first win on grass. Gone very close on last two starts, suggesting it will come soon. |
11 |
Zoffman |
Infrequent winner but now down to a very attractive handicap mark if everything falls into place. |
12 |
Lord Church |
Faded late when strong favourite over 1600m last time, having caught the eye on previous start. Unproven over trip but trainer commands respect. |
13 |
Mo Ghille Mar |
Has struggled since landing a Killarney handicap nearly a year ago. Although now back to that same winning mark, might require a little more. |
14 |
Beset |
Cosy winner once finding a gap on debut for new stable at Sligo in May and decent second over 2398m at Goodwood last time entitles her to consideration. |
15 |
First Ascent |
Didn’t seem to quite get home over around 2600m at Down Royal recently. Maiden from four starts and this looks too tough competition. |
