Audience
Group 1 Lockinge winner in 2024 and Group 2 winner at Goodwood the same year; on a losing run since but his runner-up finish in a Leopardstown Group 3 showed definite signs of encouragement (7f, soft) when ridden by Keane for the first time; his wins came on good so if he repeats that latest run he is firmly in the mix.

Big Gossey
Entering legendary course specialist status after adding a tenth win at the venue in a Listed race last time (6f, good); prior to that he won a C&D Listed contest in March (soft to heavy) when seeing off East Hampton by 1.5l; got closest to subsequent Group 1 winner Comanche Brave when a 2l second in a 6f Group 2 here on penultimate (good); always a danger around here and should go well again.

East Hampton
Won his maiden over 6f here in 2024 (yielding to soft) and bagged the Madrid handicap at Naas last season (7f, soft to heavy); best run since was when beaten a neck by Diego Velazquez in this race last year (good to yielding); beaten 1.5l behind Big Gossey in a C&D Listed race on return (soft to heavy); not at his best at Leopardstown last time; appears to give his best on softer ground.

Zodiac Bear
Okay fourth in the Group 3 Ballycorus Stakes at Leopardstown on return (7f, soft) and built on that when making all and keeping on well to win a 1m Listed race here last time (good); cheekpieces added and drop back to 7f should be okay; having just his sixth career run so improvement still feasible.

Duckadilly
Gained first win at stakes level when taking a Listed fillies' event at Navan last month (1m, good); found wanting in a deeper race over 1m here on Irish Derby weekend next time; resumed winning ways when landing a Group 3 at Leopardstown last time (7f, good), however, the proximity of an 83-rated rival (1l) to her takes the sheen off the form a bit.

Dorset
Won three times as a juvenile, including the valuable Goffs Million over course and distance; finished 2.5l behind Power Blue on seasonal return at Leopardstown when seventh of 11 (7f, good to yielding); faced a tough task in the French 2,000 Guineas; weakened into a modest ninth in the Jersey Stakes last time; others preferred.

Power Blue
Won a Group 1 over 6f here on his final juvenile start (good); runner-up behind subsequent Royal Ascot and Group 1 winner on his reappearance in a Group 3 over 7f at Leopardstown in April (good to yielding); probably not up to the top level as shown in three Group 1 runs over 1m since, but his latest two were meritable; big danger dropping in class and trip; top rated of the field too; stable a little cold currently though.
