⭐ Main Contenders
Comfort LineIn-Form
Six-time course winner who showed excellent form on turf last time; looks primed to continue good form back on polytrack.
Cosmic ForceConsistent Type
Good third on latest start and solid at this level; should handle the step up to 1 mile and can challenge if stamina holds out.
Desert Of The SeaConsistent Type
Regularly runs creditably at Dundalk, with excuses last time; expected to be involved in the finish with current form.
RampageReturn to Form
Course winner physically strong enough to bounce back; recent Leopardstown run was below best but has solid AW credentials.
Roman HarryValue Profile
Below form on soft but better suited to fast AW conditions, making him a likely player back on this surface.
⚠️ Next Best / Dangers
Master GarveyProgressive
Improved third in a recent C&D handicap but showed signs of greenness and keenness last time; could figure if settling better.
Imperial FighterMixed Form
Failed to progress this year but run behind strong forms in a claimer gives hope for a better showing here.
Bang PoReturn to Form
Last success was on heavy ground last year; recent struggles on polytrack raise doubts, but capable on better day.
❌ Outsiders / Weak Profiles
Mullacash BuzzConsistent Type
Multiple course winner but last victory was in 2023; recent runs have lacked impact, making him a long shot.
Famous EnoughMixed Form
Previous C&D winner but lost chance through poor start on return; hard to predict from current level of performance.
Sonoma SunsetUnexposed
Very weak form so far but riding claim and fitting cheekpieces may help; remains unproven at this level.
