Sole win came over 5f at Down Royal three years ago; best run for some time when placed in Sligo handicap early this month off basement mark of 40; plenty on at the weights against most of her rivals here. |

Sole win came over 5f at Down Royal three years ago, but she was twice second at that track last year after finishing fourth (missed break) in this; lacks a recent run this time around. |

9st 8lb |
Maiden was placed three times in AW handicaps last winter and ran well above her handicap mark when pushing Gloriously Glam close in 7f Gowran claimer eight days ago, albeit when allowed to dictate a steady pace; handicap mark has gone up 9lb but meets that rival on same terms here; blinkers now tried and drops in trip. |

28th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 25y |
9st 13lb |
Was gaining a fourth career win when landing similar 7f contest at Gowran eight days ago, beating Profit Surge a shade cosily; similar terms with that rival here but shorter trip a slight concern. |

1st 2 (9) |
20th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y |
9st 13lb |
Second runner for the yard and stays better than Clonmacash, two wins last year coming at 1m, including claimer here; best of three runs this term came over C&D last month when fourth in decent fillies handicap; trip/ground to suit, definite contender. |

Two 1m wins last year and hinted she was coming to hand with a 2.25l fourth at Gowran (7f, soft) on latest; dropped 1lb and better ground to suit here; player. |

Durable sort; gained the most recent of his nine wins at Naas a year ago before good third at the Curragh; absent since July and looks to have a bit to find with some of these. |

28th Jun 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y |
8st 9lb |
Can be a threat when he gets his own way up front as seen at Naas last month and gave it another good go over extended 6f here behind Saturn Seven 24 days ago; up 2lb but there's not a lot of pace in this and he's one for the shortlist. |

Won twice over this trip for Michael O'Callaghan on turf in 2024, showing a liking for quick ground; placed in AW claimer over the winter but generally regressive; visor replaces cheekpieces here and looks to have something to find. |

Won twice for Michael O'Callaghan on turf in 2024, showing a liking for quick ground; no fitness worries but needs to improve on recent AW form and the going is a worry. |

Sole win came over this trip in Curragh handicap in 2024; good second in first-time cheekpieces at Naas last summer but little since; would be much better off with all of these in a handicap. |

Won off 11lb higher at the Curragh a year ago; solid second at Naas in August but beaten favourite twice since; blinkers go on now; possibilities if they perk her up and she takes to this surface. |
