9st 8lb |
Heavily-raced gelding recorded a seventh AW win recently; turf record is less persuasive (3-71), though some encouragement can be taken from last month's third of 20 at Leopardstown. |

10st 2lb |
Six-time course winner with his last win coming over 7f here in March last year off 72; modest 3-71 strike-rate on turf but excellent third of 20 over 1m at Leopardstown 11 days ago, headed in closing stages; big player in current mood under 10lb claimer. |

Six-time Dundalk winner with his last win coming over C&D this time last year off 72; one of three runners for the stable; hard to be confident given his modest turf win record (3-70). |

In the form of her life this summer, with wins over C&D, at Down Royal and at Galway; fine run after aggregate 21lb rise when good third in C&D mares handicap in August, from franked since by both the winner and second; remains very much of interest. |

Two-time winner last year, including on yielding over C&D off 51 and followed up off 60 a month later; went close off that mark at Killarney back in July (11.5f, good); down to 56 after below par efforts the last twice; could bounce back, though very soft ground would be a worry. |

A close second at Killarney (1m3f, good) in June is much of the best of this season's efforts; wouldn't be the percentage call, especially should it rain. |
