Going: Good to Yielding
Rhythm King
A tight handicap with plenty of pace on paper and that won't inconvenience RHYTHM KING who won consecutive handicaps at Galway and Curragh last autumn and his encouraging sixth at Galway after a 4-month absence suggests he retains all his ability. He's preferred to Merisi Diamond who won this race last year but has a wider draw to overcome, while Apache Outlaw remains on a handy mark if building on his recent fourth. Earls won this race in 2022 and is well-treated if he can bounce back to form.

Winner of a maiden at Naas over this trip in March, but possibly not seen to best effect when third of 3 over a shorter trip at Fairyhouse (6f) 87 days ago.

Won consecutive handicaps at Galway and Curragh in October/November 2024, showing good attitude. Sixth of 15 in handicap at Galway (8/1) 34 days ago, proving retains ability after 4-month absence.

Dual C&D winner last year, including this race. Below his best when ninth of 20 in 7f handicap at Curragh (17/2) 100 days ago, travelled well for a long way but failed to quicken when needed.

Without a win in 10 runs and has fallen to a handy mark for all he showed no signs of capitalising when 15th of 18 in handicap at Galway (20/1) 32 days ago after taking keen hold. Has won on his last two visits to this track (including this race in 2022) and could be worth another chance.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosGalway1m 98ySoftFlat15/18Gowran Park1mGoodFlat5/16Leopardstown7f 60yGood (Good to Yielding in places)Flat6/12Curragh1mSoftFlat16/27Naas7fYieldingFlat11/14- 5(10)Sea EagleJ: Nicola BurnsT: G.

Showed his versatility trip-wise when a dual winner for connections last year. Finished 10th of 18 in handicap at Galway (8.5f) 32 days ago when might have needed the run after 4 months off.

4-time winner off higher marks last year but mixed recent form. Back on track when fourth of 8 in handicap at Curragh (5/1) 16 days ago, raced off the pace and made headway without threatening.

Won at Roscommon in August but never looked like justifying support after 5 months off when fifteenth of 17 in handicap at Leopardstown (8f, good).

Useful second in listed race at Newmarket last November and closest she's come to matching that form when second of 5 in conditions race at Naas (10/1) 28 days ago, sharpened up by the change of headgear.

From a good family and he built on his promising debut effort when easily landing 8-runner maiden at Gowran (8f, good to soft) in May. Didn't progress on handicap debut when sixth of 12 at Leopardstown (7/2) 88 days ago.
