Improved form when apprentice-ridden in two handicap runs in quick succession last month; excellent run when out of the handicap at Leopardstown prompted a sharp rise in the ratings, but again ran well when fourth at Galway; went back into maiden company here last week, finishing up a close-up third behind two Joseph O'Brien-trained runners. |

Landed a C&D handicap off 74 at this meeting two years ago for Matt Smith; plum last to Brains at Roscommon on her sole start for Pat Murphy; plenty to find on her return to Matt Smith here and would prefer a lot more rain. |

Well backed on his stable debut at Nottingham in October (8.3f, heavy) but blew the start and finished tailed off; again slowly away when third over 1m2f back at Nottingham six days later; pulled up on hurdle debut 45 days ago; risky. |

He's struggled to get competitive for three different yards this year, despite tumbling in the weights; having only his second go for Ryan Potter today and finished 44l adrift six days ago when co-favourite here (1m, heavy) on first attempt for him, albeit after a slow start; not often seen over this far; it will be interesting to see if his backers return. |

His only win was back in 2020 in a Tipperary maiden; has threatened a few times since and wasn't beaten all that far at York last time, but others appeal more for the win; tries cheekpieces. |

Only win in 23 attempts was at Tipperary on second juvenile start (7f, good to yielding) when with Joseph O'Brien; some fair form since, notably when third over C&D off 4lb higher in May (good); poor run over C&D (good to soft) latest. |

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. |

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. |
