Going - Soft, yielding in places changed to yielding after Race 1. Overcast

Formscan By John O'Riordan - Well suited by race conditions, TRUSTYOURINSTINCT can win this contest for the third time. Successful in both the 2023 and, 2024 renewals, the Joseph O'Brien-trained gelding didn't take part last year. Back for another bid 12 months on, the six-year-old should prove very difficult to beat. With 9lb to find on official rating, Tiberius Thunder is next best in at the weights. Last of seven in the Group 1 Tattersalls Gold Cup at the Curragh recently, the Robson Aguiar-trained four-year-old will appreciate this drop in class. Iron Fist looks best of the remainder.

Quotes on Iron Fist (IRE)

It was a nice performance as he was carrying plenty of weight. He enjoyed the ground and Shane said he won despite not handling the track. We thought an awful lot of him as a two-year-old, but he took a while to do things right although is doing things right now. It was a good performance, is an improving horse, and he really loves that ground.

Quotes on Trustyourinstinct (IRE)

He looks a nice horse. We thought he'd run well and he'll have learned a lot. He was green in the middle of the race there but I thought he went to the line well. It was a good performance on debut. I'm not sure where we go now, it's a difficult enough spot when you win first time at this time of year. He'll probably end up going for a winners' race. You wouldn't be rushing to go 12 but he should get it.
