Lord Massusus

His seven career wins include this last year, quickening up nicely. Mixed signals since but clear chances if at the top of his game.

2

Howyoulikethat

A five-time winner who has handled Listed company decently before. But less exposed types likely to be too strong here.

3

Skukuza

Wants good or slower ground and the rain came just in time for him to storm past rivals and easily win a high-class handicap over this C&D in May.

4

The Liffey

Well supported in the betting for a hot Royal Ascot handicap this month, but his challenge fizzled out. Capable of better.

5

Wahdan

Hard to work out the right class or trip for him, though wasn’t beaten far in a 1600m Listed event at Leopardstown in May.

6

Bluedrum

Promising in both 2023 and 2024 but neither start this season has suggested that she is about to gain her second career win.

7

Alakazi

Stable has good record with 3yo runners in this. Finished strongly for third in Listed company over this C&D following an easy maiden win. Wants a strong pace.

8

Currawood

Won his first two 2025 starts and at least as good when second in two stronger races since. Much respected stable. Chance.

9

Fiery Lucy

Ran really well twice here last year, second in G3s. Maintaining the sharp efforts in 2025, latterly a close third in Listed company at Musselburgh.
