8st 11lb |
Dual course winner at 1m off higher marks than this; weakened into an 8l seventh when last seen here in January over C&D; 3lb wrong but on a dangerous mark if returning to form. |

Dual course winner at 1m off higher marks than this; hung left when beaten 6l over C&D on latest (hampered); lurking on a dangerous mark and can't be fully discounted. |

Came from well back to collect over 1m at Bellewstown (good to yielding); 7lb higher now but a wide draw made life difficult at Dundalk last time. |

9st 9lb |
Runner-up at Leopardstown in the spring and returned from a break to score at first attempt for new yard, coming from well back over this trip at Bellewstown last month; 7lb rise but could have more to offer and wide draw may not be such a negative under hold-up tactics. |

6th Jul 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Irish challenger who is a six-time AW scorer; 0-30 on turf but has some respectable form this term; fighting chance at the weights in this first classified attempt. |

Six AW wins; yet to score on turf after 29 starts; third in four of his last six races; not the most consistent, but possible he can pick up one of these at some stage. |

Nothing like her best form in ten races since a 1m2f Ballinrobe win last June; unappealing in a sprint handicap at this stage of her career, although she won a maiden at around 6f at two. |

10st 6lb |
Just one Flat win since 2021 but was only beaten a neck on soft by Tassarolo at Killarney last month; form knocked since and his better recent runs have come on softer ground than what's likely here. |

11st 5lb |
Won over 1m on the Flat in Ireland in 2024, but Olly Murphy was unable to get a win out of him in five runs over hurdles and two on the Flat; sold for 5,500gns to join new yard last month; best watched on stable debut. |

Gained his Irish win on AW; posted an encouraging effort, keeping-on third, at Lingfield (1m4f) returned to this sphere on seasonal debut; interesting. |

Sole win was at Dundalk (1m, AW) in September 2024 and he's been well held in five hurdle runs for current yard; has something to prove back on the Flat and this is competitive; cheekpieces removed. |

Sole win in a 40-race career came in a claimer at this venue last year; recent fourth was in the same grade; handicap form is uninspiring. |
