Smart at his best, once had a rating of 110; nothing like the horse he was but has found plenty of excuses not to win as well; didn't fare that well on his claimer debut last month but capable of better. |

Over two years without a win and has been unable to capitalise on a much reduced mark of late; of limited appeal (1lb wrong). |

Just one placed effort from eight starts last season; tailed off at the Curragh on his return and down the field at Roscommon two months ago; not a big price on the second occasion, so perhaps capable of better. |

Last of five wins was in 2023; not the force he was, though has run well at times; fair third of eight in a Killarney handicap last month but well beaten in a premier Galway handicap last time (1m1f, yielding); others preferred. |

Last of five wins was in 2023 when he ran well in a Group 3 at Leopardstown and a Listed contest at Killarney; not the force he was, though he has run well from time to time, including when sixth of 14 at 80-1 in this race last year; fair third at Killarney last time; valuable 5lb claimed, could go well at a decent price. |

Latest of five wins was in the 2023 renewal of this event, after which he ran well in a Group 3 at Leopardstown and a Listed contest over C&D; not the same force nowadays and has come down a good bit in the ratings; was still capable of good form last year; not at his best on AW in the spring and back from a break here. |

Three-time Dundalk winner who left behind a couple of below-par efforts back to Polytrack over C&D last week, when losing out on the nod from a wide stall; another furlong is perhaps optimal but a strongly run race over this trip is fine. |

Gained a second win over this trip at Leopardstown last season and successful over 1m since; back to form with 1l defeat at Gowran in July but couldn't build on that a fortnight ago; should be suited by the surface and Patrick Mullins is an eyecatching jockey booking; interesting contender despite not looking particularly well treated at present. |

Almost two years since he gained the last of his six wins (four at this venue); has been slow to come down the handicap but there was encouragement from his run last time and he could be a player. |
