Emit
The one who appeals most is EMIT, who did very little wrong last season and the booking of Ryan Moore naturally adds to his appeal. A Piece Of Heaven had Dallas Star a place adrift when runner-up in a minor event at Dundalk and they may again fill the places.

Resumed winning ways in a listed race at Gowran last summer before twice finishing second in pattern company. Gelded since and he has strong claims on these terms.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosLongchamp1m 6f 201yVery softFlat2/7Longchamp1m 6f 201yVery softFlat2/7Gowran Park1m 4f 50yGoodFlat1/8Ascot1m 1f 212yGood to FirmFlat9/12Curragh1m 2fGoodFlat2/5- 4(5)Dallas StarJ: David EganT: Robson De Aguiar, Ireland3428-23Age 54/14/17/2

Just a Dundalk minor event to his name last year and latest effort there wasn't one of his better ones. However, he resumes here on a workable mark and a bold show could be on the way.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosDundalk1m 2f 150yStandardFlat3/7Dundalk2mStandardFlat2/6Curragh1m 6fGood to Yielding (yielding in places)Flat8/9Curragh1m 6fGood (Good to Firm in places)Flat2/4Ascot2m 5f 143yGood to FirmFlat4/9- 3(7)A Piece Of HeavenJ: S.

Lightly-raced in recent years and put his underwhelming hurdles debut display in February behind him when runner-up back in this sphere at Dundalk (10.7f) last time.

Successful 3 times at Leopardstown last year and also finished second in listed company there in August. Combination of the step up to around 2m and soft ground perhaps conspired against her at this course when last seen in September (gelded since).DateCourseDistGoingTypePosCurragh2m 80yYieldingFlat26/30Leopardstown1m 5fGood to YieldingFlat1/17Leopardstown1m 6fGoodFlat2/8Leopardstown1m 4f 180yGood to YieldingFlat1/6Leopardstown1m 4f 180yGoodFlat1/8- 7(2)LayfayetteJ: C.

Useful performer who notched fourth success here when landing a Group 3 over 1¼m back in August 2023. Hasn't managed to get his head in front since but would have a serious chance if resuming in good order.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosCurragh1m 4fHeavy (Soft to Heavy in places)Flat7/12Leopardstown1m 4fGood (Good to Firm in places)Flat6/6Galway1m 4fYielding (Good to Yielding in places)Flat13/18Curragh1m 2fGoodFlat2/6Limerick1m 4f 70yGood (Good to Yielding in places)Flat3/7- 6(4)GenealogyJ: J.

Lightly-raced 4-y-o who struggled for Aidan O'Brien and while his second in a juvenile hurdle at Ascot in January was a solid effort, that is sandwiched between a couple of poor performances.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosNaas1m 7f 158ySoft to Heavy (Heavy in places )Hurdle5/5Ascot1m 7f 157ySoftHurdle2/10Leopardstown2mYielding (Good to Yielding in places)Hurdle8/19Leopardstown1m 4fHeavyFlat8/16Newbury1m 2fGood to FirmFlat8/9- 5(6)Falcon EightJ: C.
