Of those with experience, DRUNK IN LOVE achieved the most when she was 4th at Dundalk in a race that she was sent off as favourite for. She needs to learn to settle, but it wasn’t a run devoid of hope. From the newcomers, SLICK CHICK and FAIRFIELD GIRL make the most appeal at this trip.

FORCEFUL SPEED was 2nd on debut and that could prove to be crucial as he is the only horse with previous experience on the track. PANIC ALARM and RUMBLED AGAIN are the 2 newcomers who catch the eye as likely precocious types with plenty of speed.

GOBI STAR and EL MAGNIFIQUE finished 2nd on their latest starts and if either repeats that form, they should be in the frame in a maiden that lacks depth.

LAYFAYETTE was very impressive when winning at Naas and with a fitness edge, he looks likely to go well again. VISUALISATION was very progressive last season and could be even better this time around.

This doesn’t look to be a particularly deep renewal of the Gladness stakes and so it is best to stick with the progressive MARKAZ PANAME who won the Madrid handicap with any amount in hand last month.

STAG NIGHT and CARLTON BANKS are the unknown quantities in this handicap and could easily prove to be much better than their marks in time. INFLECTION POINT has been ultra-consistent on the all-weather at Dundalk and should go well again, whilst MICKEY THE STEEL was a solid 2nd at Naas and arrives fit and well.
