Form & Verdict
Seven-time sprint winner, landed a C&D handicap off 97 in April, making all to beat Indigo Dream by 2.5l; shaped well when third in Listed company over C&D in May (Likedbymike in fourth); beaten favourite 20 days ago when fifth at Cork (Likedbymike second) but wasn't disgraced and likely to bounce back at a track he enjoys.

Keke

9st 9lb

J: Colin Keane

T: Edward Lynam

Won this two years ago and a slow start was no help when fifth last year; won twice this season and had been holding his form until a quiet run behind some of these a fortnight ago; usually dependable and could be dangerous should the first-time cheekpieces trigger something.

Three Curragh wins include two premier handicaps at 5f and has added two wins this season at Naas; holding his form well, including Scurry fourth to Sondad and staying on fourth to Bear On The Run under top-weight over today's C&D; booking of talented 7lb claimer could prove a shrewd move.

7f and Cork not really his bag, so not a bad effort at all when beaten less than 2l in Listed company last time; previous fourth of 20 in British-dominated Scurry handicap was creditable too, and will have every chance if he gets the right set-up.

Form & Verdict
Improved plenty on three juvenile runs in two starts this year, finishing runner-up to the useful Namiid, pulling well clear of third, at Navan (5f, y) before landing Cork maiden on good in straightforward fashion by 1.5l to Sparky Sparky 20 days ago; bare form still a level below what's required here but should continue to progress.

Landed Cork maiden last month and improved hugely early this month when only reeled in close home by a 102-rated rival (Likedbymike third) in five-runner conditions event here (5f, good); has lots of speed, not sure this extra furlong will play to her strengths.

Form & Verdict
Sole win in 18 starts came in Cork maiden in October 2024; produced career best over C&D in April when 0.75l second to subsequent Group 1 scorer Mission Central in Listed race; finished ahead of Keke when filling the same spot at Cork last month and line can be put through handicap run six days ago as gaps didn't come; leading player if not backing up too fast.

Sole win in 20 starts came in Cork maiden in October 2024, but has been in excellent form this year in sprints, including runner-up efforts in Listed company over C&D (behind Mission Central) and Cork; never involved here 12 days ago, but type to bounce back and enjoys this track; the one to beat.

Form & Verdict
Very useful two-year-old last year, second to Charles Darwin on debut before finishing fourth in Queen Mary; landed a Cork maiden in cosy fashion on return before finishing 14th of 15 in Listed company but still only beat 6l; travelled well before flattening out when seventh in competitive Ayr sprint 14 days ago on soft; open to improvement and can figure on these terms.
