A winner of seven races on AW and three on turf; last turf success was in 2022, but this season's overall form provided a fair amount of encouragement; a three-time runner-up at this venue, including in June; had plenty of horses behind him at Leopardstown ten days ago. |

Flat/hurdle winner; came from well off the pace to chase home a clear winner over C&D last month before solid enough effort at Sligo from a wide draw; more needed but considered in a weak race. |

On a long losing run since gaining his sixth career win in a Limerick claimer in 2023; not beaten far in four 2025 outings; suffered interference in the early stages when well fancied at Gowran last time; potentially interesting with a top apprentice booked. |
