Verdict

THE MODEL KINGDOM was runner-up in a listed event over hurdles at Punchestown when last seen in the spring and is likely to prove hard to beat. She also found one too good on her sole start in this sphere to date, namely in a Roscommon maiden in May 2022. Votre Homme got back on track when second in a 2¼m Down Royal handicap last month and he is next on the list ahead of bumper winner The Mediator, who shaped well on his Flat debut at Gowran.
