Erosandpsyche (IRE)

0%

No win since 2022; hasn't looked like regaining the winning thread in three runs this term; behind The Highway Rat and Bodhi Bear at the Curragh (6f) latest; eased 2lb and the drop back to 5f is a plus, but the forecast rain is a concern.

Bodhi Bear (IRE)

0%

Ground-versatile sort; won for the third time on seasonal return at the Curragh in March (5f, sft-hvy) off 8lb lower; not disgraced in Listed company at Naas; fine effort off revised mark back at the Curragh latest (6f, good) when ahead of The Highway Rat and Erosandpsyche; won his maiden here (6f) and should go well again.

Kerdos (IRE)

0%

High-class form for Clive Cox included a Group 2 win at Haydock in 2024; hasn't won since and last three runs for this stable not encouraging; mark sliding but needs to rediscover best; tongue tie tried now.

Stag Night (IRE)

0%

In fine form this season at the Curragh; third on seasonal reappearance (6f, heavy); 1.25l second behind Bodhi Bear on penultimate (5f, sft-hvy); won over 5f (soft) there on latest and the runner up has run well in Listed company since; 5lb rise fair and should be bang there again if the forecast rain materialises.

Cuban Grey (GB)

0%

Back to winning ways off 4lb lower at Dundalk on latest, making all to score by 0.5l; may find things tougher upped in grade off his revised rating (never won off a mark this high).

Namiid (IRE)

0%

Gained breakthrough win at the tenth attempt in a C&D maiden (yielding) on latest in first time cheekpieces; now sports blinkers for first run in handicap company and talented claimer takes off a handy 5lb; can't discount.
