Eight wins including once over C&D; some fine runs in defeat since winning at Naas on return this term; probably found the ground a bit quick at Leopardstown last time; is better here too but rain would help. |

Fine stalwart has won eight races, including seasonal return at Naas in March (7f, soft-to-heavy); below best of late but reduced mark now and soft ground so could improve on recent form. |

Best run yet for this yard a 1.25l fifth of 13 over 6f at Naas when last sighted in May; 2lb lower now and has won twice over C&D but all three career wins on soft and heavy ground; rain would boost claims. |

Three-time winner on turf at 6f-6.5f with all three victories coming on soft or heavy ground; has gone well on good ground, however, including when beaten a neck in this race last year off 11lb higher; below best latest but may have needed that and he could go well at a price. |

9st 10lb |
Front-runner who ended a long losing run with a dominant display over C&D (good) last month; struggled on his return visit three weeks ago but that was the Bunbury Cup and he remains well treated on his old form; respected on this big drop back in grade. |
6/1 |

Surprise winner of a Cork handicap in September (6f) and ran well over C&D when fourth in November; changed hands for 135,000 gns and made a successful yard debut at Gowran, winning by 0.75l from Gypsy Woman over this trip; 8lb rise makes things tough but definite claims. |

Grand old servant who is stuck on a 16-race losing streak; disappointed at Gowran this month but stamina was stretched over a mile on the day; he's well treated now and has won around here in the past but the percentage call is to oppose. |

9st 4lb |
Seven-time AW winner (7f-1m4f) when trained in Ireland, latterly in a Dundalk claimer in March; has failed to make the frame in 13 starts on grass, though, hence his much lower turf mark; lots to prove for his new yard. |

Rated in the 100's in his prime in Britain; resurgent of late off much reduced mark, gaining second win from last three starts when running out a decisive scorer over 7f a week ago; up an aggregate of 21lb for those two wins so needs to step up again off highest mark in 18 months; first AW attempt at 1m. |

Rated in the 100's in his prime in Britain; holding his form at a much lower level nowadays, hit with a 10lb rise for C&D success last month and better again when second to a stablemate off this mark since; should be thereabouts. |

Is just 2-25 but ran a cracker in this race last year, just getting chinned after forcing the pace; hasn't repeated that level in four runs this year but is off a dangerous mark if getting back to best; 1lb out of the handicap. |

Gained his second career win and second win at Gowran off 4lb lower on penultimate (1m, good); ran on well for fifth off revised mark in the Sovereign Path (7f, good) latest; down 1lb and the return to 1m is a plus; considered. |

Last turf win came at Naas nearly two years ago (off 63); standout run this term when C&D third (neck off second-placed Jasmine Affanalis) in May, most recently didn't seem to get home at Bellewstown; Colin Keane booking takes the eye. |
