Form & Verdict
Lightly-raced 4-y-o; fourth in big-field handicap over 1m1f here last summer when with Natalia Lupini; placed twice last month, again over 1m1f here and when third in Ladies Derby at the Curragh, a length in front of Ob La Di; stamina is the concern (not bred to stay this far).

Off the mark over C&D last month on good ground, soft ground probably against him at Galway (beaten when hampered); cheekpieces retained and could bounce back.

Form & Verdict
Both wins in August, so coming into her time of year; money for her when fourth over 1m2f here in May, and stayed on from rear when fifth in the Ladies Derby over 1m2f at the Curragh, a race won by well-backed stablemate; that run might have sweetened her up and she can reverse placings with third-placed Cooley's Mist; hampered when fourth to Tatum in last year's renewal; has won over 1m4f.

Last win came over C&D just over a year ago off 4lb lower; starting to come into form now, solid fifth at the Curragh in June (1m2f, gd-fm) and then beaten just 0.75l at Leopardstown (1m5f, good) last time; this shorter trip fine and she's a contender.

Won over an extended 1m2f at Naas last August on good ground; not suited by heavy ground on her final two starts; in rear on soft on return; much better when fourth at Leopardstown but poor again at Gowran; stablemate Fixation appeals more.

Form & Verdict
Placed at two before missing 3yo season; two wins here last year, including corresponding contest (Ob La Di well-held fourth); not seen after that until fair comeback over 1m2f here in May, and 2m1f may have stretched her at Limerick; only 4lb higher than last year; likes it good, but scratched because of quick ground last time.

Won twice at Leopardstown track last year over 1m4f/1m5f; has confirmed a liking for that venue this season; third to today's rival Cooley's Mist in a 1m5f event the middle of the month, as a prelude to last week's winning effort over 1m7f; up 5lb, can remain competitive.

Form & Verdict
Won over 1m at Gowran last summer, and twice in the autumn over 10.5f at Dundalk; return over 1m4f was respectable; slow to stride and weakened tamely over 1m2f at Navan on Saturday; tongue-tie and blinkers worn then replaced by the cheekpieces worn for AW wins; stamina on dam's side of pedigree, but not sure to stay this far.

Boasts C&D form figures of 211; roared back to form with a win over 8.5f (yld-sft) at the Galway festival on latest; 7lb rise makes things tougher and this is harder but has to be respected given her fine record at this venue.

Form & Verdict
Latest of four wins was over 1m4f three years ago, but he's on a good mark nowadays and came home well when around 3l fifth to Killyclogher Rose at Naas (1m3f); she's a lot less exposed though, and he might struggle to turn around that form.

Hasn't won since 2023 but the handicapper is relenting and he was only beaten 1l when fifth over 1m7f at Leopardstown last time; not beaten far over C&D in June off 4lb higher under this rider; in the mix.
