Has a strikingly similar profile to the stable's 2024 winner Jasmin De Vaux; big shout
21	Quiryn Bay J:Paul Townend T:W P Mullins	J:Paul Townend T:W P Mullins	151	—	1	125	135	67	61d	—	—	+20	32.4	1.38/1	11/2 15%
Won easily at Naas but only Cue Card has won as a 4yo since 1995
8	Keep Him Company Bay J:Jack Kennedy T:Gordon Elliott	J:Jack Kennedy T:Gordon Elliott	161	—	1-11	127	136	132	72d	—	—	+16	30.3	1.50/1	6/1 14%
Posted a smart Topspeed figure (best in this race) when impressing at Leopardstown
13	The Mourne Rambler Bay J:Colin Keane T:Noel Meade	J:Colin Keane T:Noel Meade	161	—	21	126	132	117	75d	—	—	+24	35.8	1.75/1	7/1 13%
Well related and won a traditionally strong bumper at Leopardstown; top Flat rider booked
1	Bass Hunter Bay J:Freddie Gordon T:Chris Gordon	J:Freddie Gordon T:Chris Gordon	161	—	/P1-11	126	133	112	82d	—	—	+12	21.9	1.75/1	7/1 13%
Impressive in making all for both his bumper wins; trainer rates him very highly
3	Broadway Ted Bay J:Sean Bowen T:Gordon Elliott	J:Sean Bowen T:Gordon Elliott	161	—	11	131	137	115	37d	—	—	+32	39.2	3.00/1	12/1 8%
Beat some of these in an often-influential Grade 2 at Leopardstown last month
12	The Irish Avatar Bay J:Harry Cobden T:W P Mullins	J:Harry Cobden T:W P Mullins	161	—	2-1	124	133	42	53d	—	—	+27	33.9	3.00/1	12/1 8%
Won by 9l at Navan where Patrick Mullins barely pressed the accelerator pedal
22	Mets Ta Ceinture Bay J:Harry Skelton T:Dan Skelton	J:Harry Skelton T:Dan Skelton	144	—	121	110	127	122	132d	—	—	+29	35.1	4.50/1	18/1 5%
Quality bumper form in France; bought for 710,000euros; 4yo filly with all the allowances
7	It's Only A Game Brown J:Mr J L Gleeson T:Martin Brassil	J:Mr J L Gleeson T:Martin Brassil	161	t	214	129	133	111	37d	—	—	+26	30.5	4.50/1	18/1 5%
Behind three of these in a Grade 2 but did get warm beforehand and wasn't ideally placed
20	Our Trigger Bay J:Danny Mullins T:W P Mullins	J:Danny Mullins T:W P Mullins	151	—	1	119	136	83	48d	—	—	+25	28.2	5.50/1	22/1 4%
Not wildly impressive at Gowran but he's clearly open to any amount of improvement
2	Boycetown Grey J:Keith Donoghue T:Gavin Cromwell	J:Keith Donoghue T:Gavin Cromwell	161	t	2-21	128	123	59	75d	—	—	+21	23.8	8.25/1	33/1 3%
Easy winner last time but no match for It's Only A Game the run before
19	Moonverrin Bay J:Mr Finian Maguire T:Martin Hassett	J:Mr Finian Maguire T:Martin Hassett	154	—	211	121	132	92	38d	—	—	+35	38	8.25/1	33/1 3%
Would have been second last time had the runner-up's rider not prematurely eased down
15	The Wager Bay J:Miss J Townend T:W P Mullins	J:Miss J Townend T:W P Mullins	161	—	2-1	115	119	23	56d	—	—	+28	30.3	12.50/1	50/1 2%
Fairyhouse RPR was nothing special; probably lacks the star potential of some in here
17	Wilde's Legacy Bay J:Gavin Sheehan T:Jamie Snowden	J:Gavin Sheehan T:Jamie Snowden	161	—	11	120	128	70	34d	—	—	+33	35	12.50/1	50/1 2%
Hit a flat spot at Huntingdon before staying on best; looks vulnerable
18	With Nolimit Bay J:Mr H C Swan T:Gordon Elliott	J:Mr H C Swan T:Gordon Elliott	161	—	1-412	129	137	115	37d	—	—	+25	27.5	12.50/1	50/1 2%
Just missed out to Broadway Ted in a Grade 2 latest; he's not his stable's main hope
6	Diamant Dore Bay J:Brian Hughes T:Adrian Paul Keatley	J:Brian Hughes T:Adrian Paul Keatley	161	h	F1	118	127	80	57d	—	—	+25	26.4	16.50/1	66/1 1%
Won easily at Ayr despite racing freely and wandering around when clear; now hooded
5	Chicker Bay J:Jonathan Burke T:Fergal O'Brien	J:Jonathan Burke T:Fergal O'Brien	161	—	116	121	121	102	115d	—	—	+29	30.1	20.00/1	80/1 1%
A dual winner, but on all his form this looks three bridges too far
11	Tally Ho Back Bay J:Sam Twiston-Davies T:Nigel & Willy Twiston-Davies	J:Sam Twiston-Davies T:Nigel & Willy Twiston-Davies	161	—	426	123	124	111	52d	—	—	+21	22.1	25.00/1	100/1 1%
Flattered to get so close to Bass Hunter latest; no maiden has ever won this race
14	The Skecher Bay J:Tristan Durrell T:Dan Skelton	J:Tristan Durrell T:Dan Skelton	161	—	P-21	116	121	117	41d	—	—	+16	16.8	37.50/1	150/1 1%
Whether he possesses the required gears to mix it with the best of these is unlikely
16	Vango Can Go Bay J:Charlie Todd T:Dan Skelton	J:Charlie Todd T:Dan Skelton	161	—	2-13	118	120	106	82d	—	—	+20	20.8	31.25/1	125/1 1%
Promising stayer in the making but looks comfortably held by Bass Hunter on Ascot form
10	Of Land And Sea Bay J:Richard Condon T:Paul Hennessy	J:Richard Condon T:Paul Hennessy	161	—	451	119	126	84	29d	—	—	+27	27.5	37.50/1	150/1 1%
Looked good at Limerick; sure to win more races but this is unlikely to be one of them
NR	Charismatic Kid Bay J:Sam Ewing T:Gordon Elliott	J:Sam Ewing T:Gordon Elliott	161	—	13	127	134	112	37d	—	—	—	29.3	—	—
Ran below market expectations in a Grade 2 last time; this drier ground could assist
