Smart handicap form this season. also a fine third behind Big Gossey in a C&D Listed race on his penultimate start; not one of his better handicap displays on latest. |

Two handicap wins this season, over 5f here (sft-hvy) and over the same trip at Navan on (good); virtually inseparable from Tango Flare based on Listed third behind course specialist here last time; both could feature. |

Best known for AW exploits, but is effective on turf; not a bad effort on seasonal return in the Habitat Handicap when 2.25l behind the winner Headmaster (6f, good); good second at Navan next time, but his latest two runs have been below-par, including when well beaten over 6.5f here last time; blinkers return and replace the visor worn that day. |

A long time since he got his head in front but some excellent runs in defeat this season; touched off in 5f Listed heat at Cork last time and nudged up 3lb; however, not sure this stiffer track plays to his strengths. |

Four wins include valuable C&D handicap and only just failed to get up in similar contest last month, finishing strongly; didn't land a blow but by no means disgraced eighth of 21 in very valuable York handicap latest; new headgear combination tried. |

8st 12lb |
Won C&D maiden (yielding) in May; three fine runs in defeat in handicaps since and was beaten just 0.75l off 2lb higher at the Curragh (5f, gd-fm) when last seen in July; this is a stronger race but can't be discounted. |

Failed to win at two; put that right when making all in a Navan maiden (5f, yielding) in first-time cheekpieces; not beaten far on handicap debut at the same venue in blinkers (5f, good); another good run in cheekpieces (retained) at Bellewstown; big burden, rider's claim will help. |

Six-time winner; boasts a good record at this venue and is generally dependable; beat Likedbymike narrowly here on penultimate start; out of the money at Navan three weeks ago when Erosandpsyche was third. |

In fine form this season at the Curragh; third on seasonal reappearance (6f, heavy); 1.25l second behind Bodhi Bear on penultimate (5f, sft-hvy); won over 5f (soft) there on latest and the runner up has run well in Listed company since; 5lb rise fair and should be bang there again if the forecast rain materialises. |

One win and five places from ten Curragh starts; good chance now after second over C&D last month, marking an improvement from a third placing over 6f on seasonal debut; best suited by soft ground. |

Won four for Clive Cox, including the Group 2 Temple Stakes in 2024; first win since came here last month in 5f handicap (first-time blinkers) coming off strong pace to reel in long-time leader late on (Collective Power, Fox In Flight and Valiant Force behind); 5lb higher now but still on an okay mark. |

Won four for Clive Cox, including the Group 2 Temple Stakes at Haydock in 2024, his last victory; yet to hit those heights for this yard and has been soundly beaten on his last three starts; 0-2 on the AW but did run well here behind Valiant Force in February; blinkers replace cheekpieces worn last time. |

High-class form for Clive Cox included a Group 2 win at Haydock in 2024; has failed to win since; last four runs for this stable not encouraging; mark sliding but needs to rediscover best; cheekpieces used for first time in Ireland. |

Admirable sort whose seven wins include twice here over 5f, notably 0.5l defeat of Collective Power in April; arrives here on the back of two good runs over 5f at the Curragh but remains vulnerable at this trip. |
