Six-time AW winner scored for the first time on turf when winning over C&D last week; raised 9lb for that but a decent claimer takes off 7lb so that helps; not the best draw but still a big player.

Form: 849-6

OR: 54

W: 9st 10lb

Age: 4 yo Filly

Form

Soundly beaten in three maidens but ran with promise on seasonal/handicap debut at the Curragh recently; with improvement from that she should go closer today.

W: 9st 8lb

OR: 59

W: 9st 7lb

Age: 3 yo Colt

Record of 1-16; well beaten in five starts for this yard in 2026 and isn't easy to fancy on that evidence.

T: Andrew Slattery

Form: 38-53

OR: 58

W: 9st 6lb

OR: 54

W: 9st 2lb

OR: 46

W: 9st 2lb

Form: 900-06

OR: 53

W: 9st 1lb

Age: 3 yo Gelding

Betting Forecast

4/1 Im Spartacus, 20/1 Rosato, 6/1 Dandy Land, 14/1 Hero Of The Hour, 20/1 Step Back In Time, 33/1 The Love Machine, 14/1 Sayonara, 12/1 Jampa Ling, 3/1 Dervo Annie, 9/1 Whatswrongnow, 12/1 El Fontenaro, 10/1 Spiced Gold, 25/1 Son Of Wind, 14/1 Luminessa, 25/1 Another Niceday, 25/1 Mini Cotai

Verdict

With improvement to come from her Curragh comeback run, DANDY LAND can get off the mark. Dervo Annie was just denied at Down Royal last time and is a big player. Spiced Gold can step up on his 5f run last time. Last week’s C&D winner I’m Spartacus is up 9lb and has a wide draw, but is still respected. [Tyrone Molloy]
