Highlight of juvenile form was a 7f course nursery win on heavy, achieved at the main expense of today's rival Aquilla Star; hard to be confident after a below-par Leopardstown run in June; would benefit from rain. |

7f Galway nursery winner on heavy ground last season; extended 1m2f seemed too far at Sligo on latest, so should appreciate this drop back in distance. |

8st 12lb |
Runner-up in a heavy ground nursery here last October and again when only caught late by Nephin Mountain over 1m2f at Ballinrobe recently, having handled home turn much better than that rival; well below that form in first-time cheekpieces over C&D on Friday however, having not had a clear run. |

Runner-up to Down The Glen in a heavy ground nursery over 7f here last October; failed to cut much ice on her seasonal debut at Down Royal last month; much better when losing out by only a neck at Ballinrobe 11 days ago; first-time cheekpieces; definite chance. |

Runner-up in a heavy ground nursery at Galway last October; failed to cut much ice on her seasonal bow at Down Royal last month; slower ground and probably a longer trip might be more of an optimum for her; best watched. |

9st 5lb |
Landed a nursery for Joseph O'Brien last October in first-time blinkers (absent here); gelded since and makes British/stable debut for yard that knows the time of day; raced on no firmer than good but may be way ahead of the handicapper; market will reveal more. |

Ran okay in 7f nursery here and well backed 4-1 fav at Galway next start, would have been a few places closer but for meeting trouble in running; cheekpieces tried there are left off for this return; hasn't fully shown his hand yet, and has been found a winnable contest if he's ready; draw has been kind too. |

3yo filly gained breakthrough win here a month ago over 7f when a 33-1 shot; just 3lb higher now and while she's drawn wide, she'll have the assistance of the champion jockey in the plate; however, stamina a query at this longer trip. |

Handicap debutante; was well behind a couple of these rivals in the last of her maidens at Naas but she was badly snatched up on the rail when making headway just over 1f out so she could have finished a fair bit closer; could outrun her odds. |
