Bolted up in 5f Naas handicap (soft) in October; didn't land a blow on seasonal return here over the same trip when ninth of 12; should come on for that but step up in trip isn't guaranteed to suit. |

Last win came at Bellewstown (5f, good) last July off 74; tough sort was a beaten favourite when seventh over C&D on his return; hasn't looked like a winner in waiting in two starts since but is well treated now. |

C&D winner off 74 last July on good; 6lb lower now; course form figures of 32103; tough sort was a beaten favourite at the Curragh on return and was again strong in the betting when poor at Naas a week later; should improve on quicker ground. |

Four-time AW winner, sole turf success came in 5f handicap at Naas in May 2024; solid effort over 1m at Bellewstown in April and backed that up with a close third over 6f at Naas; a long way below his best at Leopardstown on latest. |

Four-time AW winner, sole turf success came in 5f handicap at Naas in May 2024; solid effort when over 1m at Bellewstown in April and backed that up with a close third over 6f at Naas last month; 1-22 record on turf is a concern but those recent efforts have been encouraging |

9yo was last successful in 2023, but was third in pair of easy-ground C&D handicaps last year and can run well fresh, so has a place shout. |

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. |

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. |

Poor strike-rate over the last four years and current mark reflects a decline in his form; best watched unless the market speaks positively. |

Beaten off 59 in handicaps on last three starts but did win her last start in claiming company at Fairyhouse in May (6f, good); this is a better race and a bit to find on the figures. |

C&D winner in 2023 won for the second time in a 6f Fairyhouse claimer in May; raised 19lb for that win but has been solid in defeat since including over C&D; got no run at Fairyhouse last time; a player. |

Bridged a gap of almost three years between wins when landing a C&D claimer (good) in May; did well to take a 2l third of eight at Down Royal (5f, soft) last time after being raised 19lb for her claimer win; in great form and she has a chance if it continues. |

5f AW winner when trained in Ireland; modest form for this yard last year and her second on her penultimate run was a modest one in Jersey; two starts here have yielded nothing, including when eased and beaten 23l over this trip (firm) on her reappearance last month. |
