9st 2lb |
Soft or heavy ground is crucial for him, and wisely was given the summer off after winning at the Curragh in April; twice beat Mercurial over C&D in 2024, including in this race; chance is dependent on how much rain falls. |

Four-time winner whose best form has on soft and heavy at around 7f; got those optimum conditions over C&D last time when third, finishing 1.75l behind Mickey The Steel and 6.5l behind Red Charlie; cheekpieces added to the tongue tie now, but may struggle to reverse form. |

9st 1lb |
Plenty of ability but very hard to win with; sole Irish success came at the Curragh in April 2024; later that year, twice second to Merisi Diamond over C&D; again ran well here on seasonal debut and when second at Listowel later in May; possibly needed the run here last time. |

First reserve; has run well in both starts this season; beaten 2.25l when runner up at Listowel when last seen in May; has gone well fresh before and C&D form figures read 224; chance if gets a run. |

Over two years since latest of only two wins; second over 6f at the Curragh in October and ran well over 7.5f on return, but poor strike-rate overall; prefers it soft but handles good. |

9st 0lb |
Won the Irish Lincoln last season; attempted to bring off the double at Doncaster and produced a fine effort to finish third of 22 behind Godwinson; has failed to prosper since third to Dunum in this last year; however, he is 8lb lower now and should be at peak fitness after a Curragh prep-run in a race dominated by Pierre Royal and Booyea. |

Won the Irish Lincolnshire over C&D in 2025 but no joy since; midfield at Limerick on latest (1m, yielding) and remains 2lb above last winning mark; best form on easier ground than this; others appeal more. |

24th Aug 2025 Good 0m 5f 205y |

Progressive mare won over 7f at Fairyhouse last term and over the same trip at the Curragh on third start this season; not a bad run when fifth in a 7f Group 3 at Leopardstown; had to wait for a gap before staying on for third behind Sky Majesty and Carla Ridge in a C&D Listed race a month ago; winner may again have the upper hand. |

Eight-time winner (placed 20 times) who marked his 100th appearance with a fair sixth of 18 at Fairyhouse recently, one place in front of today's rival Jazzy Dancer; almost two years since his last win; might struggle to record another success in the closing stages of his career. |

1-11 on Flat after landing a 7f course maiden in April 2024; just 1.5l behind Minaun View in a Bellewstown claimer in July (1m, good) and better off at weights now; well beaten at Galway latest (7f, yielding). |

Has failed to add to his Gowran maiden win in April 2024 (7f, good); not a bad effort when a close fourth behind Minaun View in a Bellewstown claimer latest (Gloriously Glam second); handicap form unconvincing; new headgear combination tried. |
