    Race Analysis

    KILKENNY WARRIOR (2) arrives off the back of two successive victories on the all-weather. Not seen since October and likely to improve for the outing. Could be hard to beat. HARDSTYLE (5) is drawn nicely to gain a fourth win of 2026 having scored nicely last time out at Wolverhampton. Not without a chance. ACCLAIMED FREEDOM (4) managed to take a big step forward on the second start when winning at Chelmsford six months ago. Following wind surgery rates a major player. FRENCH AFFAIR (3) performed fairly last season and might be capable of going close on all-weather debut. Market will be the best guide.
