J: Shay Wallace

T: John Andrew Kinsella

C&D winner sent off single figure odds on last two starts at Naas (both 5f, good) and ran respectably; is very well handicapped on best form and won't be inconvenienced by softer ground if the rain arrives; can't discount.

Two of his three wins have come over C&D but his best recent form has been over 6f, including when runner-up last time; lost his place early over this trip two starts ago; needs to be sharper.

Six-time course winner (four at this trip) and has gone close a few times this year, including last month when strong-finishing third (beaten 0.75l) to Kerdos over 5f, having had to be switched; big player now at his more favoured trip.

J: Chris Hayes

T: Edward Lynam

Six-time course winner, including twice over C&D, but his last four wins here have come over 6f; however, he did go close off this mark over C&D in May and should get a strong pace to aim at; not out of this.

Sole win from 15 starts came here over 6f last April but has been generally consistent in defeat since from 5f-6f; raised 2lb for 6f second place last time and should be thereabouts again.

Likeable mare ran a cracking race on her return from the AW to finish a close third in Fairyhouse conditions event (6f, good) in June; not at same level later in month in Curragh Listed and good bit to find with Fregada on that run.

Likeable mare ran a cracking race on her seasonal return in a median auction race at Fairyhouse (6f, good) when just 0.5l behind the winner Tango Flare; rated just 92, however, so looks to be out of her depth in this grade (failed to trouble the judge in three previous runs in stakes company).

Form & Verdict
Curragh 5f maiden winner as a 2yo returned to form when dropped in the weights and back to this trip with a comfortable score last time; raised 9lb for that but looks a real minimum trip specialist and could take catching.

Speedy front-runner; progressive in handicaps last year, including two 5f Dundalk wins; ran fast in Tipperary Listed race last August, fading late into third behind today's rival Twilight Jet; made all to win 5f Group 3 at Dundalk last October; a long way below her best on reappearance in Naas event in which Twilight Jet was second.
