9st 9lb |
Seven wins over 5f and 6f generally on good ground; won off 97 in a 6f handicap here last time (good); his mark of 104 is a career high but he will need to improve again now entering stakes company. |

9st 11lb |
One of three for yard; six-time winner, the last three of which have come at the Curragh; testing ground a valid excuse for poor run at that venue on seasonal return but remains 4lb above last win and may need more help from the handicapper. |

One of three for yard; loves it here, as is evidenced by his three C&D victories; returns to action 6lb above his last win and has tended to improve for his seasonal reappearances in the past so might need this but can't totally discount given his liking for this venue. |

Strike-rate of 3-51; improved upon poor recent efforts when encountering good ground at Killarney (1m), finishing a close third after not getting a clear run; up 2lb but remains on a nice mark if backing up his last run. |

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. |

Added his fifth win (third on AW) when winning cosily over 6f here in January off 5lb lower (has won off a mark of 72 before); hampered when attempting to follow up over this C&D next time, finishing a 2.5l fourth; not at his best back on turf at the Curragh last time (heavy); cheekpieces on now and claims if on song. |
