Recent Leopardstown winner MISSISSIPPI RIVER should prove hard to beat under a mandatory 7lb penalty. Making all to win eased down by four and a quarter lengths, the Aidan O'Brien-trained colt was subsequently hit with a 10lb hike. However, as this race had already closed, he is able to race off 3lb lower and the blinkers which brought about definite improvement have been retained. Shiota, who beat Mississippi River at Naas earlier in the campaign, has every chance at these revised weights. Joseph Murphy's filly followed that up with a victory at this track last time. Its All Peachy could make her presence felt if first-time cheekpieces have the desired effect.
MISSISSIPPI RIVER showed improved form when a cosy conditions winner last time and looks well treated returned to handicaps with the step up in trip in his favour on breeding. She can get the better of Viking Invasion who has proven steadily progressive and has seen the form of her penultimate run franked at Group level. Of those at bigger prices Calrissiana appeals most having run out of her skin at Group level last time. While she may have been flattered that day she is potentially thrown in back in a handicap. Lady In Paris got the better of Its All Peachy last time and should confirm that form posing a danger to the principals.

An eyecatching fifth on his stable debut here in May, RETRACEMENT is sure to have been targeted at this meeting. While the Johnny Murtagh-trained gelding raced over 10 furlongs on that occasion, he had winning form over this trip for previous connections. A strong traveller who sees out his races well, the four-year-old is likely to race more prominently over this shorter distance. Slieve Binnian, who didn't enjoy the clearest of passages over C&D last time, should be a leading contender. Although only successful once from 20 starts on turf, the four-time all-weather winner looks more than adept. Chazzesmee and State Actor are sure to have come on from their seasonal reappearances.
An open race where course specialist Coeur d'Or is likely to prove popular having placed over C&D off 1lb higher on his reappearance. He's won the Irish Cambridgeshire here off 2lb lower in the past so has to be respected but he may find UK raider URBAN SPRAWL slightly better treated. That rival ran well for a long way in the Carlisle Bell earlier in the week and his yard can back them up quickly. The quicker ground will help him see this out better and he has the plum draw from which to attack with an easy lead possible. He gets the verdict narrowly ahead of Chazzesmee who was the 2024 Irish Lincoln winner over C&D and shaped well on his reappearance but may find the ground on the quick side here.

Having endured a nightmare passage when third in the Greenlands Stakes over C&D, the popular BIG GOSSEY can gain some measure of compensation. A real course specialist, the grey has gained all eight career wins on turf at this track. Nicely drawn just one off the stands rail, the Charles O'Brien-trained gelding has leading claims of adding to his impressive CV, providing he gets a bit of luck on this occasion. My Mate Alfie, who finished two places behind Big Gossey here recently, shouldn't be far away. However, he won't find the concession of 2lb easy, given that they raced off level weights last time. British raider Russet Gold has to be respected under Rossa Ryan.
My Mate Alfie is already a Group winner over this C&D having taken the Renaissance Stakes last year so is likely to prove popular despite his penalty. However he was a shade disappointing behind a couple of these last time and may be vulnerable to an improver such as KING CUAN who is 4-6 in his interrupted career and open to further progress now stepped back up in grade. He beat the likely favourite in his 2yo days prior to his lay off and is far less exposed as they re-oppose. There are plenty of dangers in an open race including the unexposed Songhai who ran well at Listed level here last time shaping as if this longer trip would suit. Vespertilio is going the other way in distance and having placed in last year's French Guineas could have a class edge if getting a stiff test.
Won this last year; below par beaten 5l in Amethyst Stakes (Listed) at Leopardstown last time; Heritage winner prior; vulnerable under penalty
Winner of seven races from 6f to 1m on ground varying from good to yielding - soft. Finished 5l behind Chicago Critic when fifth of 6 at 9-2 on his latest outing at Leopardstown over 1m (good) last month.

This looks a nice opportunity for CURRAWOOD to make the breakthrough at black-type level. A dual winner earlier in the season, the Paddy Twomey-trained colt has twice finished runner-up in Listed company subsequently. With his recent Leopardstown conqueror Green Impact holding live claims in the Irish Derby, the form of that particular contest looks strong. British raider Skukuza has to be of interest, despite taking a step up in class. The impressive winner of a premier handicap over C&D recently, Ed Dunlop's colt has the services of Ryan Moore again. In-form duo Joseph Murphy and Gary Carroll hold every chance with the consistent Lord Massusus.
CURRAWOOD is the clear pick here having jumped up to Listed level the last twice placing behind classy performers in the Tetrarch and Glencairn Stakes and a repeat of those efforts would make him tough to beat. Fiery Lucy placed at Group level over C&D last summer and she has proved she's trained on in both starts this year. She looks the biggest threat ahead of potential improver Alakazi who was behind the selection last time but that was just his third run and he finished powerfully.

Entitled to come on from a promising seasonal debut at Navan recently, THUNDERBEAR can take this valuable prize for the Jack Davison yard. A former Group 3 winner, the five-year-old remains a very consistent sort at black-type level, although it is when he reverts to handicap company that he really tends to make his class count against lesser rivals. Drawn in the middle here, jockey James Ryan has the advantage of being able to track the pace wherever it proves to be. Harry's Hill looks a serious threat for the Hassett family. Runner-up at Navan on his return, the gelding was fourth at Tipperary subsequently and should now be approaching his peak form. Keke is another with solid claims.
It may be best to focus on those towards the head of the weights here. The Highway Rat snapped a long losing run last time in decisive fashion and as a former Group winner remains well treated on his best form so he is likely to prove popular in the first time blinkers. However consistent course specialist KEKE is marginally preferred having looked slightly unlucky the last twice meeting trouble having missed the break. The quicker surface here will be of benefit and he can continue his progress. Top weight Thunderbear met trouble on his recent handicap return and looks well treated on his previous Listed form so can complete the places.

He has won three times from 1m to 1m 1f on good and good - yielding ground. Won on his latest outing when 11-8fav at Leopardstown over 1m 1f (good) earlier this month, beating Currawood by 1/2l.

The first three home at Epsom renew rivalry and LAMBOURN is taken to again come out on top over Lazy Griff and Tennessee Stud. The Aidan O'Brien-trained colt was confirming previous Chester form with the runner-up and is likely to again be ridden prominently with stamina clearly proven. Tennessee Stud kept on well from an unpromising position and could now get closer, while Pride Of Arras reportedly didn't handle the track at Epsom and previously impressed in the Dante at York. Green Impact lost a shoe in the 2000 Guineas, but bounced back to score over 1m1f at Leopardstown and could be a threat to all if staying this trip. Puppet Master won the Lingfield Derby Trial and has scope for further improvement.
Aidan O'Brien boasts a strong hand as ever headed by Derby winner LAMBOURN who has the other placed horses that day re-opposing. He ran his rivals ragged from the front at Epsom so should appreciate this stiff track and will likely have his stablemates forcing the pace to set it up for him here allowing him to confirm that form. Tennessee Stud finished a couple of places behind the selection last time but was given too much to do in a race dominated from the front. At this more conventional track if ridden slightly more positively he could get much closer reversing form with Lazy Griff and providing the biggest danger to the favourite. Of the others Green Impact makes some appeal as this contest has been touted as a long time target by his trainer for the best part of a year. He was all out when winning the Glencairn last time but his 2yo Group form has been franked and he is a potential improver now upped in trip judged on his breeding.

The 1m2f handicap won by Apercu here last month could prove a significant piece of form, with five of the first seven home in that competitive event renewing rivalry, and SOARING MONARCH gets the vote. He didn't enjoy the clearest of passages in sixth and races off just a 1lb higher mark than when landing a valuable 1m4f Listowel handicap last autumn. Lope Des Lilas was thought good enough to run in the Irish Oaks last year and went close on her only previous handicap start at Cork in April. Beset has done little wrong since joining current connections this term and remains on an attractive mark.
LOPE DE LILAS ran well at Listed level in France last time and finished runner up off 2lb lower when last seen in a handicap. The form of that race has been franked and with the promise of more to come over this longer trip she gets the verdict. Handicap debutant First Ascent looks the greatest threat off a lenient opening mark having shown a consistent level of form in maidens though the market can often be the best guide for his yard. Veteran Ceallach arrives in good form and though he's always been a better horse on the AW he is dangerous to dismiss off a lower mark on this surface.
Below par beaten 5l in Owenstown Stud Stakes (Listed) at Naas last time; usually held up; top jockey back on board; likes the track; just 2lb above last winning mark; danger
She has won four times from 6f to 7f on good ground. Finished 5l behind Copacabana Sands when fifth of 9 at 5-1 on her latest outing at Naas over 7f (good) last month.

Course winner BELLAPHINA gained a third career success over this distance at Fairyhouse last autumn and has shown plenty of promise on both outings this season. She enjoys a sizeable swing at the weights having finished third to Mataariki at Gowran and subsequently didn't enjoy much luck in running at Limerick. Bella Isabella won a Cork maiden over this trip before finishing third in a Leopardstown Group 3 and is an interesting contender on her handicap debut. Murkala and Sweet Chariot are also noted.
A very open race which can go to C&D winner MURKALA who was a beaten favourite last time but did run well for a long way and looks well treated back in a handicap. Top weight Dance Night Andday has placed at Listed level in the past and is just 2lb above her last winning mark so may provide the biggest challenge given her good course record whilst unexposed pair Orchidaceae and Bella Isabella are also respected. The former overcame a wide trip to win last time while the latter showed improved form placing at Group level on her last run and has the potential for further progress in handicaps.
Improved up in trip on handicap debut, made plenty of use of landing a handicap by a length off 93 over 12f at York penultimate start; comfortably held in Martin Molony Stakes (Listed) last time; top course jockey/trainer combination; bit to find off top weight back from huge lay off

La Vita Nova filled the runner-up spot over 1m6f here last month with COMMON PRACTICE just over a length behind in third and Brosna Town close up in fourth. The Joseph O'Brien-trained gelding has been mainly campaigned over jumps in the past few years and is now fitted with blinkers for the first time after finishing strongly on that latest start. Nans View progressed well last year winning twice on soft ground and now tries this trip for the first time after staying on well into second over 1m6f at Navan earlier this month. Jabbar is another to bear in mind.
A host of the field can be given chances but it is TOO BOSSY FOR US last seen finishing midfield under tender handling at Grade 1 level over hurdles who appeals most on his first flat run for this yard. He boasts some strong handicap form from the UK last year including in the Melrose and he also finished ahead of this year's Chester Cup winner prior to that. He has an absence to overcome but his top jumps yard can get them ready and the booking of William Buick suggests another big run is expected. La Vita Nova finished ahead of a number of these last time and is open to plenty of further improvement on just her second handicap run and first attempt at 2m so she may provide the biggest challenge. Gentleman Joe proved his well being when making a winning reappearance and is entitled to come on for that outing. He's not open to improvement likely many of his rivals but should be able to fight for a place off this mark.
