4th	3	8	Bucanero Fuerte (C) Smart performer who won Group 3 Phoenix Sprint over C&D last summer but below par in 2 comeback outings this spring. Needs to bounce back to his best.	37-7546	D Egan Robson Aguiar	5	59.4kg	8 7/1
8th	4	7	Chicago Critic (G) B Smart gelding. 5/1, respectable 2¾ lengths fourth of 13 to Elnajmm in Group 3 at Meydan (7f, good) when last seen in March. First-time blinkers replace cheekpieces now reverting to sprinting on this …	264844	Ben Coen J P Murtagh	5	59.4kg	15 14/1
1st	5	2	Comanche Brave (C) FAV Better than ever when placed in a 7f Group 3 in Saudi in February. Respectable 6 lengths fifth of 8 to Ka Ying Rising in Group 1 at Sha Tin (6f, good to firm) 27 days ago. Likely to be in the mix bac…	335171	R L Moore Donnacha O'Brien	4	59.4kg	2.75 7/4
3rd	6	3	James's Delight (G) Won this race 12 months ago. Hasn't come close to reproducing that form in 3 outings since but his success last year also came on the back of some indifferent efforts so no shock were he to bounce ba…	5100-63	Dylan Browne McMonagle C G Cox	5	59.4kg	8 7/1

5th	8	4	Montassib (G) 2024 Haydock Sprint Cup winner but hasn't come close to scaling the same heights in a light career since. Entitled to be sharper for his 4¼ lengths fourth of 12 to Aramram in listed race at Doncaster…	5/375-45	Billy Loughnane W J Haggas	8	59.4kg	5.50 9/2
10th	9	6	Spycatcher (G) Won a pair of 6f listed races at Doncaster and a Group 3 at Chantilly (6f, soft) last year. Disappointed in another listed race at Doncaster (behind Montassib and James's Delight) on reappearance but…	29311-0	S H James K R Burke	8	59.4kg	10 9/1
9th	10	11	Valiant Force (C) B Smart performer on all-weather but his efforts in a handicap and listed event at Naas this spring underline he isn't as good on turf.	500990	Donagh O'Connor Robson Aguiar	5	59.4kg	101 100/1
6th	11	5	Fregada (F) C&D maiden winner on debut in autumn 2024. Bettered that form when second in Naas conditions event on 2025 reappearance but she's failed to figure in a trio of listed and Group races since.	0-96643	Ronan Whelan J Feane	4	58.1kg	81 80/1
