Came good last summer with a quick-fire Fairyhouse hat-trick over 6f; touched off at Naas three starts ago; denied a clear run until too late in a premier handicap at the Curragh two weeks ago; generally dependable sort was one place in front of Aurora Nova at Listowel last Sunday.

6f Dundalk winner in April; showing when favourite for a premier handicap at Naas can be excused; got warm beforehand and then had to race alone; won a 7f rated race comfortably at Fairyhouse on Friday; drops back in trip and carries 7lb penalty now.

Won 7f maiden for Aidan O'Brien; fair AW run in March when beaten less than a length in third over 6f; missed break when well-held fourth at this venue; needs to reverse the form of last Sunday's Listowel clash with I Bid You Ajou and Aurora Nova.

Beat I Bid You Ajou at Dundalk in April; his AW record (5-30, placed nine times) is much stronger than turf (1-22, placed three times); only limited appeal with those statistics in mind.

SR 63 suggests ability but reflects a stiff ask in this field.
Six-time AW winner; was close up in third behind Clonmacash at Dundalk in April; second there on latest, reversing form with Clonmacash in the process; has the merit of being a C&D winner; definite chance for 10lb claimer who has made the frame in three of the five Irish races she has ridden in.

On a long losing streak (since October 2023) but shaped well on several occasions, including on seasonal debut at Leopardstown; less encouraging run at Gowran dents confidence in her prospects of adding to her tally.

Three-time Curragh winner over 5f/6f on varying ground; has also scored at this track; recent form is unconvincing; trainer may have a better chance with the apprentice-ridden Collective Power.

Made the breakthrough over 6f two seasons ago; her three wins last term were all over 5f, two of them at Bellewstown, where she had a good comeback run in April; closely matched with Aurora Nova on last Sunday's running at Listowel.

Has shown signs of a return to his best; backed up a second placing over 5f at Naas with a third over 5f at this venue, a showing that gives him an edge over Alfred Tennyson.

Ocean's Breath (SR 72, 10-4) is the clear SR standout in a field where no other runner exceeds SR 63, giving a meaningful ability edge despite carrying top-weight. The form string 24-191 shows a recent win (rightmost digit 1) confirming current peak form, and at age 3 in a field of older horses this runner has the profile of one still improving. G M Lyons is a trainer who places horses carefully and a runner from this yard appearing in a 5f180y Navan handicap off a fresh win warrants respect. The weight burden of 10-4 on Good ground over this trip is the main concern, but the SR gap over rivals is wide enough to absorb it.
Each-way alternative: Clonmacash.
Main danger: Clonmacash — Clonmacash (SR 63, 9-10) shows the best recent form among the chasing pack with a '1' and a '9' in the last two runs suggesting a recent win followed by a tough race, and carries a favourable weight versus Ocean's Breath's 10-4 burden which could be telling at the finish of 5f180y on Good ground.
