Won his maiden here and added a rated race at the Curragh two weeks ago (7f, soft); nudged up 3lb but for that but it seems a fair rise given the RPR he produced. |

Sligo maiden winner on soft last year and was later runner-up in a Newmarket listed race, both over 6f; by far the best of three runs this term when second in a 6f Naas conditions last time; the blinkers worn then are retained but this trip is a question. |

Four-time winner whose best form has on soft and heavy at around 7f; got those optimum conditions over C&D last time when third, finishing 1.75l behind Mickey The Steel and 6.5l behind Red Charlie; cheekpieces added to the tongue tie now, but may struggle to reverse form. |

Mudlark has been in and out this season; his last run at Tipperary was definitely an out when getting his ground but finishing 18l behind the winner; his run prior at Listowel was decent when a close fifth (8.5f, heavy); serious stamina concerns at this trip. |

Without a win since landing two in a row on the Dundalk Polytrack (6f/7f) in late 2024, and below par there in February last time; however, he's produced some positive performances this winter and has edged back down the weights; might not be far away. |

Four-time Dundalk winner, most recently over 7f in December 2024 off 94; creditable runs over same trip this winter but below best in first-time cheekpieces in valuable Newcastle handicap on latest; remains high enough in the weights but possibly the pick of the yard's trio of runners. |

Both wins came as a juvenile for Charlie Hills at 5f/7f on different ground types; has plunged in the ratings and took third (0.5l behind Exceeding) at Leopardstown (7f, yielding to soft) in April; unplaced favourite at Gowran next time, but took the runner-up spot at Roscommon (7.5f, good to yielding); in the mix. |

Back from a break with a C&D (soft) second 1.5l behind Earls early last month and same mark now; won her maiden over C&D on heavy and not a bad run at the Curragh latest; solid chance if the visor ekes out a little bit more. |
