Nayside Boy cold; very promising debut runner-up beaten 1/2l in a maiden here only start; effective 6f, acts on yielding; should have more to come.
Half-brother to Snellen, won six times between 7f and 1m 1f including a Group 3 race. Beaten 1/2l by Tribeca when second of 8 at 5-1 on his racecourse debut over this course and distance (good - yielding) last month.

Barrow Boy had good support behind him on his introduction over C&D and, despite showing clear inexperience, there was a lot of encouragement to take from his close-up second. Even so, Aidan O'Brien unleashes a couple of likely types and Wayne Lordan's presence on board TANTARDINI suggests he is the one. The son of No Nay Never is out of Roly Poly, who won three times at the top level for the Ballydoyle team. Sergei Diaghilev is a bit more stoutly-bred as a full-brother to the stable's useful three-year-old Endorsement, but still warrants consideration. Fellow Wootton Bassett colt Tradewinds cost 220,000 euros so has to enter the equation as well.
BARROW BOY shaped with plenty of promise for Gavin Cromwell when narrowly denied on debut here and, with natural improvement likely, sets a solid standard for the newcomers to aim at. Aidan O’Brien introduces two interesting runners, with jockey bookings suggesting Tantardini may be regarded as the stable’s first string as Wayne Lordan rides with Ryan Moore being at Newbury. He has a standout pedigree, being out of top-class mare Roly Poly, and commands obvious respect. Stablemate Sergei Diaghilev is also bred to be useful and would come as no surprise were he to make a bold start.

Hanging right didn't help HAPPY HENRY in the closing stages at Sligo, but he still went down by just half a length and maybe the application of blinkers can help him to finally get off the mark. Imnotleavinyou is another maiden but second placings at Bellewstown and Gowran Park suggest her turn is near, although the drop to sprinting is a slight concern. Dinamine signed off his 2025 campaign by justifying favouritism at Bellewstown and is a player if returning in the same form. Whatswrongnow made a solid comeback from out of the handicap at Naas and will appreciate the step back up to 6f.
DINAMINE returned to winning ways in good style at Bellewstown and, despite having not been seen since that victory in August, remains on a workable mark if returning in similar form after a lengthy absence. Happy Henry has been knocking on the door recently, including only being beaten by half a length at Sligo last time, and first-time blinkers could help eke out a little more. Imnotleavinyou has not been the easiest to predict, but recent efforts suggest another competitive run may not be far away.
26,000 euros yearling; Space Blues filly; weakened late in a strong enough maiden beaten 5 1/2l in a maiden at Naas on debut; probably stayed 6f, acts on good; could improve reduced to minimal distance.
Half-sister to Gangster Granny, won twice on the flat at 1m 4f and 1m 6f and over hurdles at 2m 6f. Finished 6l behind Victorious when fifth of 6 at 12-1 on her racecourse debut at Naas over 6f (good) last month.

A small field of lightly-raced or unraced fillies over the five furlongs is tough to call but if Cork fifth NEVERMINDTHERAIN makes the most of her experience, she could be the one. A daughter of No Nay Never, she was only beaten just over two lengths at the line, despite running green when asked for an effort, and appears a likely improver. Warbelle is a daughter of the same sire out of a stakes winner and is one to keep an eye on alongside the interesting Cleodolinda.
No Nay Never filly NEVERMINDTHERAIN shaped with plenty of promise on debut at Cork and, representing Aidan O’Brien, looks likely to come forward significantly for that experience. Her pedigree mixes speed with stamina and she may prove hard to beat with normal improvement. Matriarchal has shown ability in both starts so far and could take another step forward here. Paddy Twomey’s juveniles continue to run well and newcomer Big Negotiator is one to keep an eye on, particularly if attracting market support.
Ran to form when second beaten 1/2l in a handicap at The Curragh latest; effective 5/6f, acts on soft, good and AW; new mark asks more but can again go well.
Placed in four of 15 starts. Beaten 1/2l by Genesis when second of 20 at 11-2 on his latest outing at Curragh over 6f (good) earlier this month.

Keogie drops back in distance after finishing third over the extended 6f at Sligo and he may try to make all if he can find the speed needed out of the gate. Namiid pulled too hard when third at Dundalk on his first start since being gelded and if he settles in cheekpieces, he could get involved but REPOSADO gets the nod. Second in handicap company on his last two starts and only beaten a half-length at the Curragh most recently, he seems sure to be on the pace over this trip and could last home.
NAMIID can be frustrating but has been threatening to open his account and, with first-time cheekpieces applied, may find the extra needed to finally get off the mark in a race that doesn’t look especially deep. Ennoble is better judged on earlier efforts and could bounce back if reproducing the form at Cork that saw him finish a very close third two starts back. Reposado arrives in good heart after a near-miss in handicap company at The Curragh last time out and looks capable of being involved again despite the step back into a maiden.

Ger Lyons has won three of the last eight renewals and HOWD'YADOIT is likely to prove competitive. The three-year-old will be sharper for a recent comeback and had enough speed to win over the minimum trip at Down Royal last term before landing a valuable sales race at Naas in August. Eclairage ended last season with a creditable fourth in Group 3 company at Dundalk. She could shape well on her reappearance, while Lethimfly is not badly treated on his best form.
LETHIMFLY shaped really well after a lengthy enough break when just denied at Dundalk and, from the same mark, looks capable of getting back on the scoresheet in a typically competitive sprint handicap. Nouvel Espoir improved markedly on recent starts when going very close at Naas last time and should remain competitive despite a further rise in the weights. Howd’yadoit represents a yard with a strong recent record in this race and could come on for his reappearance run after a solid effort at Naas last time.
Improved on debut effort when winning a maiden at Leopardstown by 1 1/2l last time; stays 10f, will get further, plenty of give suits action; should improve again, but will need too in pattern company.

Paddy Twomey won last year's renewal with the subsequent Queen's Vase winner Carmers and TROJAN FIGHTER is taken to repeat the dose. The son of Ulysses won a maiden over this distance at Ballinrobe in fine style last week and there looks to be plenty more to come from him. New Zealand disappointed in the Blue Riband Trial at Epsom in April but this longer trip may suit, while Limestone made a winning reappearance over 1m2f at Cork and is preferred to the maiden winner Asakir.
TROJAN FIGHTER produced a much improved performance when running out a wide-margin winner at Ballinrobe and, with his yard having taken this race last year, he looks a strong contender again stepped up in grade and trip. New Zealand is a fascinating runner with top-class connections but needs to put a disappointing Epsom effort behind him and prove his stamina for this longer distance. Limestone arrives in excellent form after completing a double at Cork and looks a very solid yardstick who should be competitive at this level.
Yard has won 2 of last 8 runnings of race; ran to form 3l third in an auction race here most recent run; effective 1m, acts on yielding and AW; should keep progressing.

Johnny Soda has to be respected following his Cork victory earlier in the month. That said, preference is for MADBADANDDANGEROUS, who only found one too good in a competitive Leopardstown handicap on his return to action last month. A 3lb rise demands more from him here, but Noel Meade's gelding may have more to offer. Manton Bay has a similar profile to the selection and is another with strong claims.
MANTON BAY has been running well over a mile, including winning at Dundalk on his penultimate start. However, he's shaped as though a step up in trip would suit and this 1m2f test looks a logical move, and with further progress likely, he could get on terms with a second win on his fourth career start. Madbadanddangerous continues to run consistently well, only beaten by half a length at Leopardstown when tackling this trip for the first time last time out, and remains one of the more solid yardsticks in the field. Johnny Soda arrives in good form after a determined win over a mile last time and should remain competitive upped in trip despite a higher mark.
Improving with each run when second beaten 2 1/4l in an auction race here latest; bred to want middle-distances, acts on yielding and good; probably more to come again.
Placed once in four starts. Beaten 2 1/4l by Latin America when second of 18 at 4-1 on his latest outing over this course and distance (good - yielding) last month.

GENCHEV has shown plenty of promise in four starts to date, including a second over C&D three weeks ago, and he will not find many better opportunities than this to get off the mark. The main threat is clearly Reynir following his third-placed effort at Cork last month, while any market support for either of Tanzanite Diamond or Louisiana would have to be noted.
GENCHEV has been progressing steadily with racing, going closest yet when second beaten by a couple of lengths over course and distance last time, and another step forward could be on the cards now taking on this trip for the second time. Reynir also shaped encouragingly when improvinf on his debut effort at Cork last time out and looks the type to improve with experience and a stronger stamina test. Louisiana is an interesting newcomer on paper, with a pedigree that suggests she should be capable of making an impact first time out.
