9st 9lb |
Irish challenger who is a six-time AW scorer; 0-30 on turf but has some respectable form this term; fighting chance at the weights in this first classified attempt. |

Six AW wins; yet to score on turf after 29 starts; third in four of his last six races; not the most consistent, but possible he can pick up one of these at some stage. |

Four-time winner, latterly in 2023; continues to threaten now and again, as at Galway in August, but questionable whether he wants the ground this testing. |
12/1 |

22nd Sep 2025 Yielding To Soft 1m 3f 15y |
8st 11lb |
Four-time winner for Andrew Slattery with last win coming in 2023; went close at Galway in August (1m4f, yielding) when Thatwilldoso won; posted another decent effort at Roscommon last time when third, behind Clear Quartz and Granite Bay; can go well again. |

The last of his four wins came in 2023; was just denied at Galway but was below that form at Chepstow five days later, both over this trip; 4lb higher but can run well if back to form. |

10st 11lb |
A six-time winner under rules (three over fences) with her last win coming in a Limerick mares' chase in May when odds-on (2m4f, good); recent form well below best, including C&D handicap last month; tongue-tie added here and hard to see her featuring. |

Dual AW winner; a long time since she ran on the Flat but has developed into a useful chaser and she'll handle the conditions. |

22nd May 2025 Good To Firm 2m 3f 176y |
11st 2lb |
Has been running in some hot contests including the Grade 2 mares' chase at Cheltenham when sent off at 100-1; her penultimate run at Cork when finishing third in a handicap chase was pleasing; this is more her level and she is a live contender. |

9st 13lb |
Three-time Dundalk winner who left behind a couple of below-par efforts back to Polytrack over C&D last week, when losing out on the nod from a wide stall; another furlong is perhaps optimal but a strongly run race over this trip is fine. |

Good record on AW at Dundalk when trained in Ireland; made successful stable debut at Doncaster but below that level since; this would be easier than of late but he's drawn wide and others appeal more. |

Off the mark in a C&D handicap last week; this looks like a stronger event and she will need more to defy a 9lb higher mark; good draw for her preferred prominent tactics again. |
