Wins in his turn, albeit five of his six victories have been on AW; below par at Ayr last time, but solid runs in 6f turf handicaps earlier in the summer; this is start number 16 of the year. |

The bulk of his winning has been done on AW but he did win a 5f handicap at the Curragh last August; recent efforts need bettering but he would seem likely to give his running. |

Three-time Fairyhouse winner has been running well this season but yet to get his head in front, most recently faring best of those racing stands' side when chasing home a rapid improver at Naas last month; 0-5 on AW but close second over C&D in April when last seen here; definite player with rider's claim a positive. |

Three-time winner has been running well this season but yet to get his head in front; all his victories have come over 6f at Fairyhouse; another solid display at that venue two weeks ago when second in a seven-runner contest; jockey reported interference. |

Six-time course winner (four at this trip) and has gone close a few times this year, including last month when strong-finishing third (beaten 0.75l) to Kerdos over 5f, having had to be switched; big player now at his more favoured trip. |

Six-time course winner, including twice over C&D, but his last four wins here have come over 6f; however, he did go close off this mark over C&D in May and should get a strong pace to aim at; not out of this. |

Form of penultimate neck second in a rated race at Limerick was franked by the winner (to whom he was conceding 6lb) who bolted up off 80 in a handicap at Galway last week; yielding ground not ideal on latest; could bounce back. |

Only one win from 27 starts and that was on AW for Brian Meehan in 2023; fair AW form early this year and showed that a turf win could be within his range when second to Dancing Saxon at Limerick last time; form given a big boost by the winner in a Listed race; handicap mark reduced by a stone over the past 12 months; may come good now from low draw.. |

Has a better strike rate on AW (7-24); however, capable enough on turf (3-24, placed four times) to have a say in a race like this. best of three starts on turf this year when second over 1m at Limerick in April. |

Three-time turf winner won this race last year (Anvika third); back to form when recording a 10th career win at Dundalk in March; runner-up over C&D (yielding; form has worked out well) on penultimate; troubled passage last time at Down Royal; wouldn't want it too soft. |

No significant impact in his three runs for this yard, although he wasn't beaten far on second occasion; attractively weighted on lots of Irish AW form, so needs a close look; market reference recommended. |

Always behind on last month's stable debut (5f) but wasn't beaten far when sixth of eight at Windsor (6f, good to firm) a fortnight later; needs to make further progress here but should be fine over this trip and is attractively weighted on best Irish form; market reference recommended. |

Went close at Fairyhouse over 7f (good) and went one better to notch fifth win 23 days ago when beating El Fontenaro by 0.75l over 6.5f at Limerick; the pair pulled well clear and the runner-up won next time out, so has obvious claims off 9lb higher. |

Ex-Irish maiden who has raced mainly at shorter; encouraging form for new stable and the way he shaped at Catterick last time, when a clear third, suggests this return to 7f is worth exploring; one to consider. |

Three wins in Britain at 5f (twice on AW); placed at Lingfield over the winter before being bought for 14,000gns in February; dropped out quickly after forcing pace on yard debut in Naas handicap last month on soft; probably best watched for now. |
