Snellen
SNELLEN can make it back-to-back wins in the Meld on the back of an encouraging effort in a higher grade at Royal Ascot last time. Adelaide River may pose the biggest threat if back in the sort of form he produced on his return to domestic action.

Runner-up in pair of Group 2s at 2 yrs and got back to a similar level when third past the post in listed race won by Isaac Newton at Navan last month (promoted after suffering interference). Shaped well again faced with some scrimmaging when fourth in a Group 3 at the Curragh (1¼m) 3 weeks later.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosCurragh1m 2fGoodFlat4/7Navan1m 1fGood (Good to Yielding in places)Flat2/10Curragh1mGoodFlat4/7Leopardstown7f 42yGood to Yielding (Yielding in places)Flat4/11Curragh1mYielding to SoftFlat2/5- 6(1)Isaac NewtonJ: W.

Made the frame in a Group 1 at Saint-Cloud on final start at 2 yrs. Below-par efforts to start this season but got back on the up when overcoming trouble to win listed race at Navan (Geryon in second) last month. Completely missed the break at the Curragh last time, so has bit to prove after that.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosCurragh1m 2fGoodFlat6/7Navan1m 1fGood (Good to Yielding in places)Flat1/10Lingfield Park1m 3f 133yGood to Firm (Good in places)Flat5/6Newmarket (rowley)1m 1fGoodFlat4/7Saint-cloud1m 1f 207yVery softFlat4/10- 1(3)Adelaide RiverJ: D.

Placed in Group 1 company and won a Group 3 when trained by Aidan O'Brien in 2023. Failed to win in Australia subsequently but returned to action for new yard (in a tongue tie) with a good third in Curragh Group 2 in May. Down the field in the Wolferton at Royal Ascot since but this is easier.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosAscot1m 1f 212yGood to FirmFlat15/16Curragh1m 2fGoodFlat3/6Caulfield1m 3f 205yGoodFlat12/18Flemington1m 1f 207yFlat7/14Randwick1m 1f 207yFlat2/14- 3(2)SnellenJ: G.

Likeable type who beat 3 rivals when winning this race last season. Typically gave her running when third in a 7f Group 3 here on return and finished to good effect after having to wait for a gap when 5¼ lengths fifth of 15 to Blue Bolt in Duke of Cambridge Stakes at Royal Ascot (1m) last time.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosAscot7f 213yGood to FirmFlat5/15Leopardstown7fGoodFlat3/10Curragh1m 2fGood to Yielding (yielding in places)Flat6/11Leopardstown1m 1fGoodFlat1/4Ascot1mGood to FirmFlat2/23- 4(6)SyzygyJ: Ben Martin CoenT: Daniel McLoughlin, Ireland 11-3362Age 412/112/111/1

Recorded a hat-trick of handicap wins in the autumn and made the frame in big-field events at the Curragh and Leopardstown on her first 2 starts of this year. Seemed to excel herself in first-time blinkers when ½-length second of 9 to Duckadilly in listed race (50/1) at Navan (1m, good) last month.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosNavan1m 30yGood (Good to Yielding in places)Flat2/9Roscommon1m 2f 63yYieldingFlat6/11Leopardstown1mGood to Yielding (Yielding in places)Flat3/17Curragh1mHeavyFlat3/25Curragh1m 2fHeavy (Soft to Heavy in places)Flat1/25- 2(5)CowardofthecountyJ: Declan McDonoghT: Joseph Patrick O'Brien, Ireland90-8213Age 414/111/112/1

Useful sort who got back to winning ways in 6-runner conditions event at Fairyhouse (7f, good to soft) last month and ran at least as well when 1¾ lengths third of 6 to Zodiac Bear in listed race at the Curragh (1m, good to firm), just not best placed in a race that became a bit of a sprint.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosCurragh1mGoodFlat3/6Fairyhouse7fGood (Good to Yielding in places)Flat1/6Gowran Park7fSoft (Yielding in places)Flat2/5Leopardstown1mYielding to SoftFlat8/11Curragh7fSoftFlat11/12
