A chance can be taken on JERED MADDOX, who bounced back to form when finishing a close-up third over 6f here in December. David Marnane's gelding hasn't always been the most consistent but he won from 4lb higher over C&D last April and ought to go very close if building on that latest effort. On target over track and trip last time out, Never Shout Never is completely unexposed on the surface and must be respected off just 2lb higher, along with Mint Man.
Prediction : 1st Jered Maddox 2nd Never Shout Never 3rd Mint Man

It's been a while since Big Gossey last won on the all-weather but he is weighted to go very well. Although respected, it looks best to side with VALIANT FORCE. The four-year-old, who landed the Norfolk Stakes in 2023 before going on to finish a close second to Big Evs in the Juvenile Turf Sprint at the Breeders' Cup that year, gained a confidence-boosting success by defeating Harry's Bar (second) here in October before running well in a Group 3 latest.
Prediction : 1st Valiant Force 2nd Big Gossey 3rd Harrys Bar

Persian Bliss went in by a neck over 1m4f at this venue on his latest outing and should have no issues with this step back up in trip. Even so, JABBAR makes more appeal. Gerard O'Leary's six-year-old put Jerandme (second) to the sword over C&D last month and is expected to confirm that form to complete a double. Pavilion End struck by a short head on his first start on the Flat here last month and isn't out of it either.
Prediction : 1st Jabbar 2nd Persian Bliss 3rd Pavilion End

Cee En Gee won in good style over a mile at this track on debut in December and is likely to have plenty more to offer. However, he might find it tough to get the better of QUEENS FURY. Adrian Murray's three-year-old sets the standard with a rating of 88 after shedding her maiden tag over C&D in November and she could be the one to beat again. Ze Do Asfalto is next best.
Prediction : 1st Queens Fury 2nd Cee En Gee 3rd Ze Do Asfalto

18:30 Dundalk

This can go the way of MISS ABBY JOOLS, who has done well since joining the Timothy Doyle stable despite not getting her head in front. The six-year-old is best judged on her neck second over C&D two starts ago, and she can uphold form with Rockbury Lad (fourth) and Little Keilee (sixth) from that contest. Royal Tribute has a long losing run to overcome, but he did run well when second over this track and trip in December.
Prediction : 1st Miss Abby Jools 2nd Rockbury Lad 3rd Royal Tribute

PERFECT JUDGEMENT continues to go from strength to strength, and a further 6lb rise for his most recent success may not be enough to prevent him from landing a C&D hat-trick. Over two lengths behind him on that occasion was stablemate Shoot To Kill (third), who is 5lb better off this time around and can take closer order, while Wrob And Wryan produced a career-best effort when third in a maiden over further here last time out. Runner-up on four of her last five starts, Elegant Madame has proven a frustrating sort to follow but cannot be dismissed either.
Prediction : 1st Perfect Judgement 2nd Shoot To Kill 3rd Elegant Madame

19:30 Dundalk

Dromore Glory showed a likeable attitude when scoring in style over this track and trip last month and he must be of interest, although more will be required if he is to defy a 9lb rise. Therefore, marginal preference is for SOMEONE'S WISH. Gordon Elliott's charge caught the eye when staying on strongly to finish second over C&D recently and, nudged up 2lb for, he gets the vote to go one place better this time around. Gardone also looks a key player.
Prediction : 1st Someones Wish 2nd Dromore Glory 3rd Gardone
