Had good form two years ago, notably landing the Cork Derby; Tramore second was her only worthwhile effort last year; has come back down the ratings and better for recent AW return. |

Three-time Flat winner during her time with two previous trainers; weak overall form in handicaps for this stable; satisfactory hurdles runs late last year; hard to fancy on second AW start (tailed off only other try). |

Three-time Flat winner during her time with her two previous trainers; weak form in handicaps for this stable after finishing second in a seven-runner 1m4f contest at Tramore in July; made a satisfactory introduction to hurdling at Galway; needs to jump more fluently. |

11st 0lb |
Dual-purpose; won a Naas maiden hurdle (2m, gd-yld) in April 2025; has come up short in handicap hurdles since and just okay runs on the Flat on last two starts; stamina to prove for this trip and others look more convincing. |

Off the mark at Sligo last month but disqualified as rider claimed the incorrect weight; well-backed to gain compensation off same mark at Cork 16 days ago but left with a fair bit to do when staying-on third (Zoffman second) over this trip; 2lb wrong here but interesting to see what tactics top US jockey employs. |

10st 0lb |
2024 Chesterfield Cup winner for Johnny Murtagh; failed to find his best form last season, including a spell in Britain; beaten favourite here behind the useful Genoah in two starts for this stable (handicap and a rated race); has run well enough in defeat both times, and is attractively treated on his old form. |

Made late gains after an awkward start when 2l behind Genoah on stable debut over 10.5f here latest; ran well sole try over this trip in the 2024 Cork Derby so could turn that form around; big chance. |

Won off 5lb higher at Glorious Goodwood (1m2f, good) last July for Johnny Murtagh but failed to hit the same heights subsequently for that yard and he's struggled to get competitive on his two runs for this stable. |

11st 8lb |
Placed more often than winning over hurdles; did record his fourth win on the Flat at Tramore last month before finishing close up in a charity race at the Curragh on Sunday; pace will be on here which will help him being delivered late and certainly respected. |

Dual Purpose; 3-8 on the Flat; ran a solid race over this trip at Chester in May 2023; hurdling since that run until return to this sphere in the Cork Derby and he wasn't disgraced on ground plenty quick for him; this race is easier, a bit of cut in the ground will suit and he's been dropped 5lb; a big run could be on the cards. |
