On the face of it, NEOLITHIC ran in the Gladness Stakes at the Curragh as a pacemaker but the Sioux Nation colt outran his odds, and high-profile stablemate Albert Einstein, to finish a creditable third in a strong field. He runs over the same trip and ground conditions are likely to be fairly similar so, even if his new mark may flatter him a little, he is very much the one to beat. Controlled won a 5f maiden last year for Aidan O'Brien and got this trip well when a battling second to a well-regarded winner in the Madrid Handicap at Naas. Greek Mythology readily beat two previous winners on the all-weather in December and looks a nice prospect.
NEOLITHIC ran well in the Gladness just giving best late on the heavy ground. It is similar conditions here and while they may not be ideal if he repeats that performance he will take a lot of beating. The biggest danger is the promising and unexposed Greek Mythology who impressed on debut. Controlled is smart and typically would be good enough to win a race at this level and is far from a no-hoper.

HASSANIYA was quietly fancied on his reappearance at the Curragh and showed that the market support was well founded when a strong-travelling fourth in a big-field contest over a mile. The third has won since and Michael O'Callaghan's runner shouldn't be inconvenienced by dropping back a furlong. Testing ground isn't a concern and a wide draw might not be either, given that the runners may well come stands side in the home straight. Bobby Mcgee has a mark of 81 after some solid runs last term, but has raced solely on a sound surface so far. Harmani was a good second over 6f on soft ground last year, while Kilmac Air may fare best of the newcomers.
This is a strongly-contested maiden. It may be worth taking a small chance on HASSANIYA who looked a surefire winner when taking it up on the bridle2f out last time only to run out of stamina inside the final furlong over a mile on heavy ground. The step-back a furlong here could bring a marked improvement in his rating. Bobby McGee is showed good form last term and presumably has had an issue since his run in a handicap back in July. He'd be a major player if at his best again. Jamestown and Harmani both ran well on their debuts, the latter disappointed last time over an extended 7f, but could be third best if getting home this time.
Slowly away when beaten 10l in a nursery at Navan in August; trainer in form. Effective over 6/7f and acts on yielding and good ground; generally consistent but may need the run.
Placed once in five starts. Beaten 10l behind Nakamura at 15-2 when 9th of 12 on her latest outing at Navan over 6f (yielding) in August last year.

With the benefit of a previous run in handicap company, UNFAMILIAR can make the most of that experience. Mid-division at Naas last month, the Kevin Smith-trained filly ran against her elders over a shorter trip and in a higher grade so she should find this easier. Having taken time to warm into the race, the daughter of Phoenix Of Spain was doing her best work at the finish and better can be expected. A solid performer in nurseries last term, Aurora Mist has to be respected for the in-form Andrew Slattery yard. Believe Believe would be of definite interest if strong in the market.
AURORA MIST could be the answer here. She looks well handicapped on her nursery form. Race-fitness after a break is the obvious worry. Andosky similarly is on an appealing handicap mark based on her 2yo form but is on seasonal debut as well. Unfamiliar is one that has had a run this term and fared pretty well after a poor break, she could threaten.
Yet to show any real signs of ability in two poor starts.
Unplaced in both starts. Well beaten at 300-1 behind Gaiety Girl when last of 12 on her latest outing at Dundalk over 1m last month.

The Joseph O'Brien-trained SINMARA can make a winning reappearance. Third on her introduction at the Curragh in October, the daughter of Kingman stayed on nicely and given that she had been up with the pace throughout, it was a decent effort in the circumstances. Her stable has started the new season in fine form and this is a decent opportunity. Fifth on both starts at two, the Johnny Murtagh-trained Rayzera looks the main threat. Having landed a similar race at the Curragh recently, Murtagh is another trainer who has hit the ground running. Ballydoyle newcomer Wedding doesn't hold any fancy entries, but has to be respected given her connections.
WEDDING is the obvious one here being a 350,000 euros well-bred Aidan O'Brien debutant in what is essentially and ordinary fillies' maiden. Rayzera and Sinmara look best of those that have raced, the latter having more scope for improvement.
Yard won this last year; head high and not the most willing but trip suited and ran to best when winning a nursery at Dundalk by a head last time; effective 6/7f, acts on good and AW; consistent if a little unenthusiastic at times.
A winner at 7-2 at Dundalk over 7f on his latest outing in December last year, beating Apiary by a head.

Off the mark at Dundalk in December, COINCIDENTAL GLORY can follow up. Placed twice on turf last season, the Ado McGuinness-trained gelding is unproven on ground this testing, but that comment applies to the majority of these. With an official rating of 77, the son of Cotai Glory sets the standard. With Sam Coen taking off a valuable 5lb, he looks very much the horse to beat. Kactus Jack has shaped well enough on five starts to date to suggest he can get involved at this level, and he is one of those best treated at the weights. Clonbun needs to improve, but shouldn't be discounted with first-time blinkers applied.
COINCIDENTAL GLORY looks the most likely in a fairly moderate contest. The yard won this last year and he's shown a good bit of ability despite also seeming quirky. At a price Clonbun might go well. The form of his latest run seems to stand-up to inspection and blinkers might help too. It is hard like any of the rest, perhaps best of them is Green Testimony.
Nice effort on debut when a 4l winner in a maiden at Galway; effective 7f, acts on heavy; open to marked improvement.

Just touched off at the Curragh, ELECTRIC BEAUTY can gain compensation. A winner at that track on her previous start, the Michael Mulvany-trained filly went down narrowly on her most recent appearance. With the gelding who beat her again running a big race in stronger company subsequently, the four-year-old should be a leading contender back against her own sex. C&D winner Thrifty Of Digby is drawn out wide, but overcame a similar berth when scoring here in September and Jessica Harrington's mare will have no issues with testing conditions. Fast Tara has yet to add to her maiden win, but has run some solid races in defeat and appears well handicapped.
ELECTRIC BEAUTY may be the best option in this competitive handicap. She's a reliable sort and in good form. Never Loose is a danger being unexposed after a maiden win on debut and Angelight appeals as third best. She may have improved last time and is on a very workable mark.

MATT CONNOR won twice on the Flat for Henry de Bromhead and has taken well to hurdles for current connections, also scoring twice. He was particularly impressive on testing ground at Naas last time and now reverts to the level off an attractive mark, with the booking of Colin Keane an added bonus. Ohmali rates a threat having won over a mile here on heavy ground last autumn, while Shahada Ace also struck on her penultimate start and hails from a yard in great form. Lough Leane won six times on the all-weather for David Simcock and certainly won't lack for fitness having shaped well on both outings at the Curragh this season.
MATT CONNOR has been in excellent form recently over hurdles and is fancied to make a winning return to the Flat. He's twice won over 10f in the past and is now 16lb lower than that last victory so holds obvious claims for an in form stable. Course winner Ohmali has to prove her stamina and fitness but she proved consistent last term and reappears with a top jockey booked. She looks the biggest danger for another yard in good form while at a bigger price Captain Ciano is also respected. He didn't handle the heavy ground on his turf reappearance but he placed off 4lb higher in the last year on soft.
Brought down when threatening in a handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse when last seen in December 2023; good Flat form in Amateur races before that; needs toprove retains ability, market will guide.
Successful at 1m 2f and 1m 6f on yielding - soft ground, but last win was over two years ago. Beaten 3/4l by Helvic Dream when second of 11 at 7-4 on his latest flat outing at Curragh over 1m 4f (heavy) in October '23.

ZANAHIYR is a smart sort over hurdles and fences and recorded a valuable win in the American Grand National at Far Hills last October. The Gordon Elliott-trained gelding reappears after a winter break and had Light Up The Dark behind when successful on his last Flat start over an extended 2m1f at Bellewstown. Not Just Any Eagle has proved a good servant to connections, winning five times, while Nancee Spain relished soft ground when a wide-margin winner at Roscommon on her penultimate start and may benefit from her reappearance at the Curragh last month. Slurricane and Plunkett Street are dual-purpose performers suited by some ease in the ground.
A lot of unknowns in this staying handicap with plenty of runners returning from national hunt racing and others back from winter breaks. On balance ZANAHIYR looks the most likely winner having good form under both codes of late and appearing to be improving. Slurricane won a handicap on the Flat when last seen on the level in October and has run well over hurdles in the main since and can go well and Coeur Sublime who was useful on the Flat before his long absence should be monitored in the market.
