Zephron

Followed a respectable run with a poor one at Gowran last time. Previously worn cheekpieces replace blinkers following a short break.

On a long losing streak and didn't repeat his previous effort (well-backed third) when down the field at Gowran latest. Cheekpieces on first time.

Low-mileage 6-y-o maiden who wore first-time cheekpieces when third in a big-field event at the Curragh (6f) last time. That was her best effort in a turf handicap and she's worth another crack at 7f.

Sole success from 25 starts came over C&D (soft) in the autumn of 2024 and he went as close as he has since in a similar grade at Wolverhampton last time.
- Age

- 9st 8lbs

Dual winner who was gambled on and duly turned in his best effort since joining current yard when fourth at Killarney (1m). That wasn't a strong race but he still merits consideration off 1 lb lower.
Ukiyo (Ire)

Winner of a Cork handicap last autumn, she shaped as if back in form when third at Fairyhouse (6f) last time, faring best of those held up, and should remain competitive off 1 lb lower.
- Age

Didn't look like capitalising on a falling mark on the all-weather over the winter but has been given a break and tackles this grade for the first time on turf.

Matched the pick of her juvenile efforts when sixth over C&D on handicap debut/reappearance but needs to build on that. RESERVE

Low-mileage 3-y-o is going the right way, having only narrowly been denied at Limerick (7f) last time, and he's a serious player in a race that should be run to suit.
- Age

- Weight
- 9st 5lbs
- Or

Took a step forward for first-time blinkers/a positive ride when sixth of 11 on handicap bow at Fairyhouse, and while her Irish Oaks entry looks wholly unrealistic at this stage, she cannot be discounted if building on latest run.
- Age
- 3
- Weight
- 9st 7lbs
- Or
- 60
Lightly-raced filly who finished a strong second over C&D before justifying support to go one better at Fairyhouse (6f) last time, getting away with the drop back in trip, and she may well follow up on return to 7f.
Timeform Verdict
DERVO ANNIE should relish the return to 7f and is taken to land the double. However, Concaire looks a serious danger, while Toy Soldier could be interesting having been gambled on last time.
