9st 4lb |
2-7 on turf; has returned in fine form this season; close third at Naas (5f, soft); went two places better at Bellewstown (5f, soft) on latest; raised 7lb and this is harder but the forecast rain is a big plus for him; dangerous to dismiss. |

Made all for Navan nursery win (5f, soft) last September; good third there next time from 6lb higher; led most of the way when 0.75l third at Naas (5f, soft) on return last month; good chance in receipt of 3yo allowance with the help of rider's 5lb claim. |

Six-time winner is 4-22 on turf; last two wins have come at the Curragh but has run well in defeat over this C&D on more than one occasion; shaped well at Bellewstown on penultimate but needs to bounce back from poor Curragh run latest; 2lb above highest winning mark. |

Prolific AW performer gained a first turf success in emphatic fashion at Navan on latest (5f, gd-yld) under this rider, making virtually all for a 2.25l win; this longer trip fine but raised 10lb and this is a tougher race. |

Nine AW wins but is a maiden on turf after 18 runs; however, he ran a cracker on soft ground at Bellewstown last time and this drying surface should suit better; a squeak. |

Second runner for yard; four AW wins; 1-16 on turf; kept very busy on AW in recent months, on latest collared close home when runner-up over 7f off current mark; 7lb claimer takes over from Colin Keane; one to consider. |

One of two for yard; kept busy last year and four wins included one over C&D (good) in September off 77 and just 1lb higher here; subsequently won off revised mark of 84 at Bellewstown in October; badly out of form so far this year, however, and needs a revival. |

Cork maiden (5f, good) winner who was tailed off last over C&D on final start for Danny Murphy in October; never a factor over further trips since joining this yard; can't fancy unless market speaks; blinkers go back on. |
