9st 2lb |
Three-time course winner at 1m and 1m4f; hasn't fired since returning from a break in July and struggled on return to AW in 1m4f handicap here on latest; needs to revive. |

Both turf wins have come over 1m; however, is of some interest based on a C&D win in February; fifth at Down Royal a fortnight ago was reasonably encouraging. |

Both previous turf wins have come over 1m but landed a 1m4f handicap at Dundalk in February; recent turf efforts leave him with a fair bit to find, but has dropped to a mark 7lb below his AW figure. |

Ordinary last run but positives to take from two efforts prior to that, just missing out over C&D and not getting the best of runs at Punchestown; well drawn and on the shortlist. |

In winning form earlier in the year on turf and AW, and was holding her form well until never involved after starting slowly at Chepstow two weeks ago; high in the weights but each-way chance if getting herself in the mix this time. |

8st 10lb |
Three wins over 1m/1m2f on turf/AW in the spring and has continued to run well since; finds herself off a career-high mark, but another good effort can't be ruled out; has won on good to soft; stable also runs Redhot Whisper. |

Three wins over 1m/1m2f on turf/AW in the spring and has only gone down narrowly in her last two starts, the latest at Epsom (8.5f, good to firm) eight days ago; already due to go up another 3lb for that and holds leading claims. |

Third-place finish at Gowran was a rare positive recent effort (1m, yielding) on penultimate; didn't build on that in a similar contest there last time; three-time turf winner is well handicapped on his best form and cheekpieces go on now to try and recapture it. |
25/1 |

9st 9lb |
No AW win since March 2024; respectable showings, behind in-form rivals, over a range of trips (6f-1m) recently, without doing enough to suggest that she's primed to strike; drop back to 7f is helpful and she might have place possibilities; one of two for Iain Jardine. |
