Verdict

LOVE ME TENDER runs in the same colours as the recent Willie Mullins-trained winners of this and there's a good chance the reason he's yet to see the track for his new connections has been to preserve his mark for this. Klassleader had firm ground as a possible excuse in the Old Newton Cup and this course winner is taken to resume his progression and provide the main threat. Daiquiri Bay and Emit also make the shortlist, with Real Dream one who could go well at likely bigger odds.

    Rapidly reached a useful level for Peter Schiergen last autumn, winning twice over 9f in Germany before 2 lengths fourth of 7 in listed race at Chantilly (1¼m, soft). Changed hands for €180,000 last November. Very interesting new recruit for yard seeking a third win in this in the last 4 years.

    Plenty of good efforts in defeat in strong 3-y-o handicaps last season (including third in Melrose over C&D) and has taken it up another notch this season, winning at Newmarket (1½m) and Copper Horse at Royal Ascot (1¾m). Appears to have been saved for this since. Likely to go well.

    Low-mileage 4-y-o who improved again to win 1½m Dante meeting handicap here (good to soft) on reappearance in May. Possibly unsuited by a firm surface when only seventh in the Old Newton Cup and good chance he can resume his progression now. High on the shortlist.

    Confirmed debut promise when winning a Dundalk maiden (1½m) in December and has made further progress for his new yard, winning 13f handicaps at Hamilton (good) and Ayr (good to soft) in the first half of the summer. Should be more to come from this lightly-raced 4-y-o but he has a tricky draw.

    Much improved this season having been gelded, following up his ready Carlisle success in the Duke of Edinburgh at Royal Ascot. Creditable 1¼ lengths second of 8 to Enfjaar in Group 3 Glorious Stakes at Goodwood (1½m, good to firm) 21 days ago. Up in trip. Probably capable of even better.

    Progressive in 2025, bagging the 2½m Ascot Stakes at the Royal Meeting before an excellent second to Ethical Diamond in this race. Hasn't reproduced that form this season but better than the result on his last 2 starts and no shock were he to bounce back to form with a bang.
