An eye-catcher when keeping on to finish third on his debut at Fairyhouse recently, ELUSIVE PATH can score for Ger Lyons. Following an awkward start, the Elusive Pimpernel gelding gradually worked his way into the race before flashing home to reach the frame. Granted a cleaner break, the three-year-old can get his head in front. Feel Happy should be capable of playing a leading role following a promising fourth-placed opening bid at Naas last month. With the winner subsequently landing a Group 3 and the runner-up romping home in a maiden, the form of that contest looks particularly strong. Well-bred newcomer Tourin is one that should be noted in the market.
ELUSIVE PATH made a highly encouraging start to his career when finishing third in a competitive Fairyhouse maiden at rewarding odds and shaped like a horse capable of building significantly on that effort. He already has proven 7f form to his name and, with natural improvement likely, looks the one to beat. Feel Happy showed promise on her Naas debut despite not quite seeing out the mile and could be suited by this drop back in trip, making her a likely contender. Final Boss has shown ability in his last two starts and could take another step forward with first-time blinkers applied, particularly if breaking on terms.
Better than bare result on first start beaten 4l in a maiden at Dundalk on debut; sire effective 6f, closely related to 7f winners; stayed on as if step up in trip would suit.
Half-brother to Taj Dragon, won six times at 7f. Finished 4l behind Lamar Canyon when sixth of 9 at 33-1 on his racecourse debut at Dundalk over 5f last month.

QUINTA GIRL can make her experience count to land this for trainer Michael O'Callaghan. Having shaped with promise on a couple of occasions last season, the daughter of Sioux Nation took a significant step forward when third at the Curragh on her reappearance. With an official rating of 78, she just about sets the standard and, while vulnerable to a less-exposed rival, the three-year-old looks the most likely winner. Expert Dancer, who had reached the frame in three of her four maidens, ran a decent race in a well contested handicap at the Curragh recently. Back in these calmer waters, the Andrew Slattery-trained filly should make her presence felt. Fairyhouse debut fifth Green Amoro is entitled to step forward.
EXPERT DANCER has shown enough over this trip on previous efforts to suggest a race of this nature is within reach and the drop back to 7f looks a positive after not quite seeing things out over a mile at The Curragh last time. If returning to the level of his earlier starts, he may prove the one to beat. Banshof shaped better than the bare result on debut at Dundalk and looked as though this step up in trip would suit, making him a fascinating contender with improvement likely. Quinta Girl arrives on the back of her best effort yet when third over 6f at The Curragh, but she does have something to prove returning to 7f after her strongest performances have come over shorter distances thus far.
Improved to get off the mark down to 7f when winning a maiden at Leopardstown by a neck last time; effective 7f/1m, acts on soft and good; more to come.
A winner at 10-1 at Leopardstown over 7f (good) on his latest outing last month, beating Valentino Eclipse by a neck.

Having been just denied in a stronger race at the Curragh last month, ZENFORD can go one better. A consistent gelding who has reached the frame on all four starts to date, the son of Beckford hasn't been unduly punished with a 3lb rise for that latest effort. With stable jockey Ben Coen back in the saddle, the Johnny Murtagh-trained representative looks the one to beat. A winner at Fairyhouse last time, the Jessica Harrington-trained Fortuity should again hold leading claims. Up just 4lb for that victory, the Dark Angel filly can effectively race off 1lb lower here if taking her rider's claim into account. Handicap debutant Watch Tower is also open to improvement on his return to action.
FORTUITY showed a likeable attitude when getting off the mark at Fairyhouse by half a length last time and, while a 4lb rise asks a little more of him, he remains lightly raced and open to further improvement. Zenford had been consistent in maidens without getting his head in front and made an encouraging start to life in handicaps when only narrowly denied at The Curragh, so looks a major threat if building on that effort. Watch Tower is another who has been running consistently well in maidens thus far and should be competitive again on his handicap debut and seasonal reappearance.
Below form of previous effort when fourth beaten 5l in a handicap at Leopardstown latest; effective 7/8f, likes soft, acts on good; chance if bouncing back from latest.
She has won three times from 7f to 1m on soft and yielding - soft ground. Finished 5l behind Electric Beauty when fourth of 13 at 10-3 on her latest outing at Leopardstown over 1m 1f (soft) earlier this month.

Having caught the eye when third at Leopardstown earlier this month, ANVIKA can score for trainer Sheila Lavery. Held up towards the rear on that occasion, the five-year-old mare made stylish headway entering the straight, keeping on nicely to reach the frame. With both of her previous wins having come on a sounder surface, the daughter of Dandy Man may have just struggled to pick up close home. Back on better ground here, she looks a leading candidate. Spanish Temptress, who finished fourth in that aforementioned contest, is another with every chance. Trained locally by Richard O'Brien, this race is likely to have been a target for some time. Dual C&D winner Amemri also merits respect.
SPANISH TEMPTRESS didn’t quite build on her previous effort when finishing very close second two starts ago at Leopardstown last time, but she remains the type to bounce back quickly over this shorter trip and this mark is certainly workable if she returns to her better form. Una Matata shaped better than the bare result when beaten only two lengths at Down Royal and, with a clearer passage, looks capable of playing a leading role again off the same rating. Amemri is a previous winner in this race last year and is now back to below her mark from that day, so she’s very much of interest returning to a mile after a disappointing run at 7f last time if able to reproduce her earlier form.
Ran to form, better than bare result beaten 4l off a 2lb higher mark at Roscommon last time; effective 8f, acts with cut and on AW; mark easing, can go well.

Having returned to form on his last two starts, BRIGHT IMAGE can record a first career success. Trained in Kildare by Christy Donoghue, the seven-year-old had shown promise on a couple of occasions in 2023 and 2024, before injury intervened. Entitled to have needed his reappearance when well down the field at Gowran in May, the son of Fulbright wouldn't be winning out of turn. Runner-up here last time, Carvalhal has been done no favours from a wide draw. However, the gelding should make his presence felt with a clear passage. Bella Colombia is also worthy of consideration in an open affair.
CARVALHAL showed much more encouragement when only narrowly beaten over 7f here last time and, with the yard having taken this race 12 months ago, he could be ready to build on that if putting a run of quieter efforts behind him. Bella Colombia continues to edge down the weights and shaped better than the result at Roscommon most recently, so she’s entitled to be in the mix again if things fall her way. Bright Image has taken a couple of steps back in the right direction in similar contests of late and looks the type to run another solid race, though he may need a career best to finally get his head in front.
Back to winning ways, short in the market when winning Loughbrown Stakes (Group 3) at The Curragh by 3 1/2l last time; effective 12-18f; proved big price Listed victory no fluke latest, respected down in trip.
Winner of six races from 1m 4f to 2m 1f on yielding and heavy ground and on the all-weather. Won on his latest outing when 11-8fav in the Group 3 Comer Group International Loughbrown Stakes at Curragh over 2m (heavy) in November last year, beating The Shunter by 3 1/2l.

Although Melbourne Cup second GOODIE TWO SHOES would arguably prefer further, she is nicely treated at these weights. A Group 3 winner at Fairyhouse last July, the Joseph O'Brien-trained mare will probably have a repeat bid in Australia as her main target, but she shouldn't be far away if running to her best. Although Chally Chute would also enjoy a stiffer test of stamina, the Ross O'Sullivan-trained eight-year-old would hold leading claims if the forecast rain arrives. Happy Pharoah, who ran a career best at Leopardstown recently, is another who should have every chance.
The Joseph O'Brien-trained GOODIE TWO SHOES brings by far the strongest form on offer having run a massive race when runner-up in the Melbourne Cup last time, and with the yard having won this race last year, she looks a very solid standard-setter back in calmer waters. Chally Chute arrives on the back of a dominant Group 3 success at the Curragh and has to be respected again despite this slight drop in trip, while Happy Pharoah ran right up to his best when narrowly denied in the Levmoss Stakes and remains firmly in the mix at this level.

A weak affair in which TAJ CROWN looks the one to beat. Runner-up in a claimer here recently, the Ken Condon-trained filly can go one better. A lightly-raced daughter of New Bay, her bare form and a rating of 68 wouldn't usually be good enough to land a maiden, but this contest shouldn't take much winning. She managed to take a significant step forward when upped in distance at this venue last time and this extra yardage may help. Blissful Bonita, who showed improved form when fifth in a handicap here recently, is another that has to enter calculations. Winning hurdler Faithful Follower has place chances at the very least.
TAJ CROWN is improving with racing and again took a step forward when second, beaten 1 1/4l, in a claimer first attempt over this trip here last time. She is a middle-distance-bred type who has already shown she stays 1m4f well enough and, with further progress likely, looks the one to beat in a very ordinary contest. Themis represents a top yard that won this race last year and could be the danger if the step up to this sort of trip sparks improvement having shown very little between 7f and a mile in her first four starts. Blissful Bonita has shaped as though she stays this far when doing her best work late over C&D for fifth last time and could run into the minor honours.
Below form again comfortably held in a maiden hurdle at Wexford last time; absent for very lengthy period; tongue-tie first time; bit to find.
Successful at 1m 2f and 1m 4f on good to firm ground and on the all-weather, but last win was over three years ago. Well beaten at 13-2 behind Seddon when 10th of 12 on his latest flat outing at Listowel over 1m 6f (soft) in September '24. Having his first run for a new stable today.

Successful on his stable debut at Ballinrobe last month, SATONO CHEVALIER had valid excuses when finishing midfield at Gowran Park subsequently. Rated higher in his prime, the eight-year-old retains plenty of ability at this stage of his career and he looks nicely treated here under a very capable apprentice. Slurricane would prefer a stiffer test of stamina, but the Ross O'Sullivan-trained gelding would have to be of definite interest if the forecast rain arrives. Dawn Coming, who has reached the frame on all five runs over flights since joining trainer Charles Byrnes, is another that catches the eye reverting to the Flat.
BATTLE OF MALDON showed a clear step forward when getting off the mark in a 10f Chepstow maiden last time and, with that performance suggesting there is plenty of stamina in his profile, this extra yardage on handicap debut looks a natural progression. He sets the standard in a race where most arrive with questions to answer. Dawn Coming switches back from hurdles having shown some promise in that sphere and is an interesting option back on the flat over further than he's tried in his four previous efforts here, especially if attracting market support. Quatre Bras needs to bounce back after being raced over much shorter distances so far this year, but he's been second on both of his starts over 12f and could relish the step back up in trip.
