Big Gossey
Admirable veteran seems to be getting better with age; gained his tenth career win and first at pattern level when taking the scalp of Camille Pissarro in a 7f Curragh listed heat last month; closely matched with My Mate Alfie on their two meetings last year, including here over 6f; was only fifth in this last year but he can't be discounted in current form.

My Mate Alfie
Exciting prospect racked up three 6f wins on the spin to finish off last season; won the Bold Lad off 107, beat Big Gossey in the Group 3 Renaissance Stakes and won a listed here on his final start of 2024; unraced over 5f but he should have enough speed to cope; leading chance on seasonal reappearance.

Betsen
Is 1-11 on turf and rated 94; ran well on penultimate when a 2.75l second of 12 in a 5f Curragh handicap off 93; raced keenly back there on latest; place claims on his Navan listed second last April but he may need better ground than this.

Two Stars
Gave Betsen 1lb and a 2.75l beating in a 5f Curragh (soft) handicap on his return, his third career win; hiked up 11lb for that win and now steps up into stakes company for the first time; soft ground fine; place claims.

Escaping Thejungle
Is 2-10 on turf and rewarded market support when last seen in a 5f Bellewstown handicap in October on soft ground off 72; this looks a big ask on her return but she'll like the ground and she has gone well fresh before; could outrun her odds.

Magical Vision
A 78 rated C&D winner was getting 9lb when beating Two Stars in a 5f Curragh handicap in April (sft-hvy), her fourth career win; couldn't uphold that form off 4lb higher on latest over the same C&D; looks up against it in this company.

Sir Yoshi
A 96 rated 3yo ran some decent races in defeat in stakes races last season; best run a 1.5l second of 16 in a Listed heat at York (5f, gd-fm); best form is at 5f on quick ground but did win a maiden on soft; should strip fitter for his comeback over 6f at Dundalk; place claims back in trip.

Unexpected Issues
3yo filly officially rated 84; Navan maiden winner has beaten just one rival home in two runs since, in a 6f Group 3 at the Curragh (not disgraced) and a 7f listed heat at Leopardstown; this looks a tough task on her seasonal reappearance; watch.
