Solid form in handicaps for John O'Donoghue; good efforts in handicaps at the Curragh (1m, soft to heavy) and at this course (1m2f, yielding to soft; had Couer d'Or behind) on first two runs for this stable; outclassed in Listed grade at Gowran but a big player if the ground deteriorates.

Off the mark for this yard in 1m1f Leopardstown handicap (soft) 19 days ago; all three of her wins have come in handicaps on soft/heavy and she was well held on her only previous try at this level at Gowran in May; cheekpieces go on; Shaool looks yard's best hope.

Solid form in handicaps for John O'Donoghue; solid efforts in handicaps at the Curragh (1m, sft-hvy) and Leopardstown (1m2f, yld-sft) on first two runs for this stable; up against it on the figures here but if there's heavy rain she could sneak into the money.

Six-time winner, with there of those gained over C&D; remains 3lb above his last winning mark at Roscommon a year ago (1m4f, soft); good second on seasonal return at Leopardstown in June (1m1f, soft); below his best since then, at the Curragh, this venue, and Tramore; last two outings have been at around 2m; good C&D record is a positive.

Best form at this venue, the scene of three of his six wins; pleasing second at Leopardstown on seasonal debut; failed to improve his weak Curragh record (now unplaced on nine visits) a month ago; highly effective over the extended mile here, this trip may stretch his stamina.

Veteran's last win came over C&D in the Irish Cambridgeshire in August 2023; didn't get the clearest of runs when a 2.75l fifth in this last year and 11lb lower now; not beaten far the last twice, fast ground is fine and he's an interesting runner.

Form & Verdict
Boasts a fine AW record (four wins) and gained a first turf victory under this rider at Fairyhouse (1m2f, good) a fortnight ago; must be respected off the back of that but sole run on soft previously was a poor effort and this is a much tougher assignment; 1lb wrong.
