Durable sort; gained the most recent of his nine wins at Naas a year ago before good third at the Curragh; absent since July and looks to have a bit to find with some of these. |

28th Jun 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y |
8st 9lb |
Can be a threat when he gets his own way up front as seen at Naas last month and gave it another good go over extended 6f here behind Saturn Seven 24 days ago; up 2lb but there's not a lot of pace in this and he's one for the shortlist. |

Six-time AW winner on a good mark and was close up behind Clonmacash on his last visit here, since when he's finished ninth at Naas; like others in here, this place is more his scene. |

Six-time AW winner is 3-33 on turf; hasn't won on grass since a 6f success at Cork (good) in June 2023; went close at Dundalk on latest (6f) and has gone well over this C&D before; place shout. |

Four-time course winner (three over C&D); went close over 5f in December; form has been uneven since then but managed a solid third in a claimer last time; has a bit to find with Rattletheonionbag on running here a month ago. |

Four-time course winner (three over C&D); went close over 5f in December but not at same level since, including when beaten 8l here last time (6f); not the best weighted here but Sadhbh Tormey's claim brings him into it. |

Five of her six wins have come here; not easy to win with these days and on a near two-year losing sequence but she was only beaten a length over 5f here a fortnight ago and she should relish the step back up in trip. |

Three-time winner, at Fairyhouse, Laytown and Dundalk, during a very busy 2022 campaign; below her best at Dundalk on final three starts last year, same on first two turf runs this term; encouraging fifth over C&D last month, perhaps on the point of hitting form again. |

No AW win since March 2024; respectable showings, behind in-form rivals, over a range of trips (6f-1m) recently, without doing enough to suggest that she's primed to strike; drop back to 7f is helpful and she might have place possibilities; one of two for Iain Jardine. |
