Six-time course winner, including twice over C&D, but his last four wins here have come over 6f; however, he did go close off this mark over C&D in May and should get a strong pace to aim at; not out of this.

J: Enola Pollet

T: Edward Lynam

Six-time AW winner; was close up in third behind Clonmacash at Dundalk in April; second there on latest, reversing form with Clonmacash in the process; has the merit of being a C&D winner; definite chance for 10lb claimer who has made the frame in three of the five Irish races she has ridden in.

Form & Verdict
Sole win from 15 starts came here over 6f last April but has been generally consistent in defeat since from 5f-6f; raised 2lb for 6f second place last time and should be thereabouts again.

J: Robert Whearty

T: Paul W Flynn

Likeable mare ran a cracking race on her seasonal return in a median auction race at Fairyhouse (6f, good) when just 0.5l behind the winner Tango Flare; rated just 92, however, so looks to be out of her depth in this grade (failed to trouble the judge in three previous runs in stakes company).

Curragh 5f maiden winner as a 2yo returned to form when dropped in the weights and back to this trip with a comfortable score last time; raised 9lb for that but looks a real minimum trip specialist and could take catching.
