Master Of The Hunt (IRE) looks to be a standout contender here. With strong pedigree credentials, a promising debut where he showed he can compete with top-quality horses, and with the backing of the Aiden O’Brien stable, he presents himself as a top choice for the race. The two-month layoff might be the only slight concern, but if he’s fit and ready, he has all the attributes to come out on top.

Purring Along‘s recent win at Galway was undeniably impressive, but there are uncertainties going into this race. The weight rise and her draw are concerns, and it remains to be seen if her Galway performance was a one-off or if she has genuinely found a new level of ability. While she cannot be completely ruled out given her dominant last win, potential backers should approach with caution, considering the aforementioned concerns.

Miramis is certainly one of the noteworthy entrants in the race. Given her recent form, adaptability to various race conditions, and stable history, she could be a genuine threat in the lineup. While Kingswood and others might have more consistent strong form, Miramis should not be overlooked as a potential winner or at the very least a strong placer.

Tamrat made a noteworthy start and, based on his winning debut, looks to be a strong contender in his upcoming race. While he has shown potential, he’s stepping up in class, and this race will be a test to validate his maiden win. Given the unpredictable nature of horse racing, while he’s one to watch and consider, it’s always good to gauge his odds in conjunction with other factors on the race day.

Earls clearly has a fondness for this race and the course. His consistent form, especially the performance at the Galway festival and his win last year, puts him in a good stead. The adaptability to different ground conditions is another advantage, ensuring that the weather on race day is less of a concern for him. Earls appears to be a strong contender in this race. His course and distance form, combined with recent performances, suggest he has a good chance to be competitive and possibly repeat his victory. However, as always in racing, it’s essential to consider other factors like the actual race conditions and the competition on the day.

Esquiline appears to be a solid choice in the lineup. Her consistent form combined with her strong finish in her last outing at the Curragh indicates that the extended trip might suit her. If she runs true to her recent form and handles the step up in distance, she could be right in the mix at the finish.
