Leopardstown

Today, July 17, 2025Flat1m1fGood

With two very promising runs under his best and the best surely yet to come, PURVIEW gets the nod ahead. He stepped up markedly on his all-weather maiden success at 2 yrs when splitting Delacroix and Tennessee Stud in the Derby Trial here in May, form which those rivals have subsequently boosted. Galen went down all guns blazing at Royal Ascot last month and will ensure that Purview is is tested here. He is clear second choice ahead of British raider Sparks Fly and Expanded.

    Verdict
    Twice-raced winner. 11/1, 2¾ lengths second of 5 to Delacroix in Derby Trial Stakes at this course (10f, good) 67 days ago, clear of rest. That form is rock-solid and this Kingman colt remains with potential.

    Verdict
    Very smart gelding. Fine effort when ¾-length second of 16 to Haatem in listed Wolferton Stakes at Royal Ascot (10f, good to firm, 13/2) 30 days ago and another bold show is on the cards.

    Verdict
    Lightly-raced winner. 11¾ lengths last of 9 to Field of Gold in Irish 2000 Guineas (28/1) at the Curragh (8f, good) 54 days ago. Needs to get back on track, but that's entirely possible now that his sights are lowered.

    Verdict
    Useful filly. Good second of 23 in handicap (25/1) at Royal Ascot (8f, firm) 29 days ago. That was up there with her very best performances, but it's still short of the level that will likely be required to take this.

    Verdict
    Smart gelding. Seven wins from 26 Flat runs, the latest here in April. 17/2, 7 lengths fifth of 8 to Skukuza in listed race at the Curragh (8f, good) 18 days ago and he looks vulnerable on this occasion.

    Useful filly. 2 wins from 4 runs this year, the latest at the Curragh in May. 11/2 and hooded for 1st time, tenth of 13 in handicap at the Curragh (9f, good) 18 days ago. Plenty to find on form. Engaged 6.50 Killarney Wednesday.

    Verdict
    Smart mare. Eight wins from 18 Flat runs. 11/1, bit below form 5¼ lengths third of 11 to Spiritual in Princess Elizabeth Stakes at Epsom (8.5f, good to soft) 40 days ago, nearest finish. Didn't get the rub of the green that day and, granted better luck this time, she should be in the mix.
