T: P Twomey

Four-time winner at 6f-7f; pick of last year's form when beaten a neck in Group 3 here over 6f (soft) and decent effort on second of two outings in April when running on well for fourth over 5f at Cork from disadvantageous side of the track; had the summer off and first run over 7f since maiden win as a 2yo.

Okay fourth in the Group 3 Ballycorus Stakes at Leopardstown on return (7f, soft) and built on that when making all and keeping on well to win a 1m Listed race here last time (good); cheekpieces added and drop back to 7f should be okay; having just his sixth career run so improvement still feasible.

Three of four runs have come at Leopardstown; won maiden there last May (7f, good) and fine 2l third in Group 3 (7f, good) the following month; not seen again until respectable 3l fourth in Group 3 Ballycorus Stakes there (7f, soft) 17 days ago; sharper for that and worth a go at 1m on that evidence; could go well.

Arrives in search of a fourth straight win following victories in big-field handicaps at the Curragh in November (7f, heavy) and on seasonal return in April (1m, soft to heavy), continued progression when successful over C&D last month (soft), ahead of Collecting Coin and Gleneagle Bay; up another 5lb and better ground raises a question.

T: Patrick J Flynn

7f maiden winner on the AW for Archie Watson; has prospered at the Curragh since joining Pat Flynn, ending last season with a 7f win and starting the new campaign with a 1m success; goes well for this rider whose claim is now reduced to 5lb.

T: A P O’Brien

Lightly raced 3yo won C&D maiden on soft-to-heavy in March but wasn't seen until fair fourth in C&D rated contest eight days ago, challenge flattening out late on; entitled to come on for that but lots more needed on what we've seen so far.

Stable outsider of three on debut over 6f here on only start at two; out early to win a C&D maiden in testing conditions; a little concerning that he has not run since then, though clearly he can go well when fresh.

Made all on heavy ground when winning this by 7l last year; below par (odds-on) when fourth to Sindria over C&D in May; back from nearly four months off when half a length in front of that rival at the Curragh (1m1f, good to yielding), having led.
