Five-time winner was busy early in the season, winning over this trip at the Curragh; stayed on late at Roscommon last time and should have improved from that; good draw and should go close. |

Soft or heavy ground is crucial for him, and wisely was given the summer off after winning at the Curragh in April; twice beat Mercurial over C&D in 2024, including in this race; chance is dependent on how much rain falls. |

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. |

Won over 7f here (sft-hvy) on return from long layoff in March; raised 15lb and beaten a nose in follow up bid here (7f, soft) in April; beaten 4.75l into fourth upped to 1m at Naas on latest (1m, good) when 1l behind Far From Dandy; 2lb wrong and may need it softer than this. |

Returned from a 493-day absence over 7f at the Curragh when comfortably winning a 23-runner contest (soft to heavy); almost followed up off 15lb higher back there next time, when hampered before finishing strongly to lose out by a head; up another 3lb, but he's thriving and a definite chance if handling this better ground and step up in trip. |

Winless from five starts for Emmet Mullins in 2024 but returned from a 493-day absence over C&D last month when pulverising the 23-runner field (soft to heavy); handicapper hasn't missed him, handing a whopping 15lb rise; but big chance of going in again with softer ground to suit. |

Five-time winner for Johnny Murtagh and clearly not the horse he once was, but showed that he is potentially at a winning level when a close third in a 1m handicap at Cork two weeks ago; this might be his trip now and he is certainly respected. |

Five wins for Johnny Murtagh; went close for this yard at the Curragh in April (7f, soft); below best in four starts since then; has tumbled in the ratings but will make limited appeal until showing signs of a revival. |

Gained breakthrough success in first-time blinkers at Punchestown (1m, good to yielding) in September off 70; good third off this mark at Cork when last seen in September; blinkers are getting the best from him and he's a player if ready on seasonal return. |

Both wins at Cork, the latest a deep-ground handicap over 7f in May when 15lb lower; new mark was triggered by his third in a Listed race back there last time when likely flattered in a steadily run affair (raced prominently). |
