Verdict

The last two winners were drawn low, after seven consecutive years when the winner came from a double-figure draw. There may be another big handicap to be won with the 2025 Irish Lincoln hero ORANDI, 8lb lower than when third in this race last year. He is a speculative tip to reverse recent Curragh form with Pierre Royal and Booyea. The lack of a recent run could count against last year's winner Dunum. One who could well at rewarding odds is Howyoulikethat, sixth at 80-1 last year. This year's Irish Lincoln winner Ribee should also enter calculations along with talented 3yo Hardy Warrior.

Ran against smart Ballydoyle colts as a juvenile; won a three-runner 1m conditions event at Naas in March; did not quite see out the extended 1m2f when third in the Prix Noailles at Longchamp; failed to run to expectations in a valuable Gowran contest; could make a high-class handicapper, but no horse of his age has won this since 2004; cheekpieces added.

Won a Gowran maiden (1m, good) for Dermot Weld last May; met trouble in running on stable/seasonal debut in a Limerick race won by Monvoe; improved from that when beating Booyea in a 1m premier handicap at the Curragh a month ago; up 9lb, might struggle to confirm form with Booyea (up 5lb).

Won 2025 Irish Cambridgeshire for Dermot Weld, beating today's rival Genuine Article by a short head; maintained his good record in races over 1m when an emphatic winner from stablemate Far Form Dandy at Naas on seasonal/stable debut; mid-division in the Royal Hunt Cup, seventh of 20 in his group, not a bad effort.

Ended 2025 with a pair of heavy-ground wins at Doncaster (7f); useful form in defeat this year, in the frame in competitive York handicaps (good ground) on consecutive days last month; another good run when fifth of 17 on quick going at the same venue last time; ground-versatile, trip a worry.

Completed a four-timer when winning a 7f handicap here in 2022; won the 7f Ahonoora Handicap at the 2023 festival; made it three from six at this venue (also placed three times) when winning this event last year; third in the Ahonoora later that week; absent since last September; stiff task against that background, despite his liking for the track.

Enjoyed a terrific spell last October, notching three wins and two places during a hectic spell; maintained his rate of improvement when beating 24 rivals in the Irish Lincoln on return; early-season form also included second in a 1m2f premier handicap at the Curragh; unplaced twice in Listed races this term; handicap form gives him a leading chance; drawn low.

Has failed to deliver on initial promise as a hurdler; out of his depth in top juvenile events; excuse for failure to take advantage of drop in class at Ballinrobe; won over an extended 7f in France at three; never out of the first three in six races; apart from one AW run, all Flat form on soft or worse; drawn high.

Won the Irish Lincoln last season; attempted to bring off the double at Doncaster and produced a fine effort to finish third of 22 behind Godwinson; has failed to prosper since third to Dunum in this last year; however, he is 8lb lower now and should be at peak fitness after a Curragh prep-run in a race dominated by Pierre Royal and Booyea.

Last of five wins was in 2023 when he ran well in a Group 3 at Leopardstown and a Listed contest at Killarney; not the force he was, though he has run well from time to time, including when sixth of 14 at 80-1 in this race last year; fair third at Killarney last time; valuable 5lb claimed, could go well at a decent price.

Last win was in a valuable 1m handicap at the Curragh in June 2024; best run in almost a year when second to Pierre Royal in the same Curragh event a month ago; should come into the reckoning on that evidence, though 5lb higher now, with the winner up 9lb.
