Fresh from his memorable Grade 1 triumph at Fairyhouse on Sunday, Andy Slattery might be able to continue his rich vein of form here with SUIR MONAD. An encouraging fourth on debut at Dundalk in December, the Dark Angel grey was just a head behind subsequent winner Goldinthesea. Also running with credit when fifth on his first start at the all-weather venue, Lunar Tide is the second choice. Sure to step forward from that initial effort, it'll come as a surprise if he's not involved towards the business end. A 200,000-pound yearling purchase, Gatlingburg is the pick of Donnacha O'Brien's pair and while disappointing to date, he is surely capable of better. Sending out his second winner of the Flat campaign at Cork on Saturday, Henry de Bromhead is represented by Stellar View, and this one warrants the utmost respect.

Top Tip: Suir Monad (10)
Watch out for: Lunar Tide (2)

Out of a five-time track winner, FAMOUS ENOUGH is the suggestion in this competitive affair. Winning twice last season and not seen since failing to justify favouritism at Cork in September, the Pat Foley-trained six-year-old should give a good account of himself. With race fitness on his side, veteran Hell Left Loose is likely to enter calculations. Fifth and sixth in big-field contests at the Curragh last month, he will again be ridden by capable apprentice Mel Sheridan, who claims a valuable 10lb. With Colin Keane booked, the lightly-raced She's Ideal warrants the utmost respect, while others for the shortlist here are dual course winner Lady Arwen, five-time victor The Blue Panther and recent Dundalk third Master Garvey.

2025: (7 ran) Deressa ( 3 ) , Age 3 , Wgt 9-3 , SP 4/1 - Chris Hayes / D K Weld

Forecast: 5/2 Cape Primrose , 7/2 Johanna Walsh , 4/1 Sounds Great , 5/1 Rebel Moon , 6/1 Feel The Love , 8/1 Chestnut Palace , 16/1 De Vega Queen

Last Updated: 09 Apr 2026 23:50:32

There was just three quarters of a length between CAPE PRIMROSE and Johanna Walsh when they finished second and third at Thurles in October. Likely to be little between them again here, the Aidan O'Brien-trained former is marginally preferred. Out of dual-Group 1 winner Again, the St Mark's Basilica filly holds Irish and Epsom Oaks entries. A 460,000-euro purchase at the Goffs yearling sale, the aforementioned Joseph O'Brien-trained Johanna Walsh is another that could be Oaks bound and she is sure to give the selection plenty to think about. O'Brien is also represented by debutant Rebel Moon and this one warrants the utmost respect, considering she cost 500,000gns at the Tattersalls October Yearling Sale. A solid third on debut at the Curragh, Feel The Love is another leading hope, but in truth, none of the seven can be safely ruled out here.

Top Tip: Cape Primrose (1)
Watch out for: Johanna Walsh (5)

With very little meaningful form to go on, a watching brief is advised. Having said that, KEPLER stands out on breeding as a brother to dual Group 1 winner and last year's Oaks runner-up Whirl and, representing top connections, he should go close. A 200,000gns yearling purchase, Diligo looks the pick of Joseph O'Brien's three. Out of a half-sister to 2015 Dubai Sheema Classic winner Dolniya, it'll come as a surprise if he's not involved towards the business end. From a good Aga Khan family, Johnny Murtagh's Reynir is the most interesting of the remainder.

MANO CHICAGO might be able to overcome a lengthy absence in this ordinary affair. The highest rated of those with a mark, the Johnny Murtagh-trained four-year-old picked up plenty of prize money when a respectable fifth in the 2024 Goffs Million on his last start. While clearly meeting with a setback in training since, this looks an ideal starting-back point. Without a win in nine starts and failing to fire on his return at Naas last month, a first-time tongue-strap may have the desired effect on five-time runner-up Game Point. A visor is tried on the well-bred Wild Sapphire and it'll be disappointing if he's not involved towards the business end. Others to consider are Noel Meade's Take Me and debutant Catherine Magennis.

SKIB GOLD sprang a surprise when successful at 80/1 over course and distance last July, and has since proved that was no fluke. Beaten by just half a length when bidding to follow up, he again performed with credit when a running-on fourth at Dundalk in October. Deuteronomy failed to make an impact on his return at the Curragh last month, but the Robbie Burns-trained seven-year-old should step forward from that comeback effort. I Do Believe is of definite interest, while handicap debutant Broadchurch and the lowly-rated Prom Queen are others to keep on side.

Top Tip: Skib Gold (3)
Watch out for: Deuteronomy (1)

Fell in a handicap hurdle at Leopardstown latest when beaten; consistent in both codes; effective 12f, gets further, acts on soft, good; unlucky off 2lb higher on last Flat run; has fitness edge; big chance.

A good winner on his return at the Curragh last month, ROCK OF IRELAND might be able to follow up. On what was his first start for Rory Devine, the Rock Of Gibraltar five-year-old won with a bit in hand at the Kildare venue and, while given an 8lb rise, he still looks nicely treated off a mark of 74. Whimsy has three wins on the level to her name and it'll be disappointing if she's not involved towards the business end here, with Patrick McGettigan claiming a valuable 5lb. A comfortable winner at the Curragh last May, Robbies Rock warrants the utmost respect on his return.

Top Tip: Rock Of Ireland (8)
Watch out for: Whimsy (7)
