Form: 31-404 D

Age: 5 yo Gelding
Both wins have been at the Curragh over 6f-7f and in varying ground; solid efforts all three starts this year including over 6f at this track last week; the cheekpieces worn then are replaced by a tongue-tie; needs more on these terms.
OUR TIP
Form: 590-82 D
OR: 99
W: 9st 11lb
Age: 4 yo Gelding
Group 3-winning 2yo over this trip but didn't fire in three runs last year; the best of two runs this term came at Gowran last time when ahead of Tina's Indian; the filly that won that event, City Of Memphis, has since won twice at Group level; a big player.
Form: 1290-9
OR: 90
W: 9st 11lb
Age: 5 yo Colt
Four wins up to 7.5f and in varying ground conditions; was beaten a long way on return over 6f at the Curragh in March; can do a lot better today but others preferred.
4 (6)
Moss Tucker uniform
Form: 000/06 C
OR: 99
W: 9st 11lb
Age: 8 yo Gelding
Former winner of the Group 1 Flying Five but isn't at that level anymore; two respectable runs behind Mission Central at Naas over 5f this term; needs to do better but any easing of the ground will help.
Form: 4300-0 D
OR: 92
W: 9st 11lb
Age: 4 yo Gelding
Second runner for yard; winner over 7f for Andre Fabre in France and twice placed in Listed grade; however, then lost his form badly and was poor on stable debut in March; needs a revival.
6 (7)
Zodiac Bear uniform
Form: 013- D
OR: 103
W: 9st 11lb
Age: 4 yo Gelding
Much-improved on final two runs of 2025, both at Leopardstown over this trip; won a maiden in fine style before finishing third in a Group 3; handles varying ground conditions and stayed on to finish fourth in a Group race at Leopardstown Thursday; chance in this lower grade if turning out quickly
Form: 718-
OR: 92
W: 9st 9lb
Age: 4 yo Filly
Was a comfortable winner of a 1m1f Curragh maiden on second start but couldn't get competitive in a Killarney Listed race when last seen; needs to do more down in trip on return.
Form: 153-50 D
OR: 94
W: 9st 4lb
Age: 3 yo Colt
Useful 2yo for Aidan O'Brien last year, winning a 7f York maiden and running well in two Listed races; solid effort on debut for this yard in Navan Listed race but well below that at Newbury since; has to rebound now gelded.
Form: 24-191 CD
OR: 92
W: 9st 4lb
Age: 3 yo Colt
Won a 6f Dundalk maiden in April then had excuses for a lesser run in a Naas handicap; bounced back to win a C&D conditions race a week ago in a first-time tongue-tie; that is retained but has to improve in this stronger contest.

Betting Forecast

12/1 Tinas Indian, 7/4 Cowardofthecounty, 12/1 Love Billy Boy, 6/1 Moss Tucker, 25/1 Tolebi, 5/1 Zodiac Bear, 14/1 Queen Of The Bogs, 11/1 Frescobaldi, 4/1 Oceans Breath

Verdict

Group 3-winning 2yo COWARDOFTHECOUNTY ran his best race since at Gowran last time and the winner, City Of Memphis, has franked the form since so he is selected. Ocean’s Breath won over C&D last week and is respected even in this stronger race. Zodiac Bear is of interest if turning out after having fourth in Group company last night. [Tyrone Molloy]
