Five-time C&D winner, the latest coming in September 2023 off 75; thrown in here on that form but he has lost his way this year; is 5lb wrong here and hard to fancy on recent showings. |

Registered tenth course win over this trip in January; that success was his first since September 2024; solid fifths the last twice, the latest over C&D when 2.5l behind I'm Spartacus; has won off a mark of 82 in the past, but majority of wins gained over 5f. |

Added tenth course win here last time over 6f (seven-time winner over 5f); that success was his first since September 2024; up 5lb, but he's still fairly treated compared to some of his previous wins. |

Some narrow defeats this term before convincing Navan win over this trip in August; raced on wrong side when sent off favourite there next time; below best at the Curragh (5f) latest but step back up in trip should be a help; goes on any ground. |

Premier handicap winner off 82 a couple of years ago but no worthwhile form since that success including since switching to this yard; handles Polytrack but very hard to fancy after failing to beat a rival here on Wednesday. |

Durable sort; gained the most recent of his nine wins at Naas a year ago before good third at the Curragh; absent since July and looks to have a bit to find with some of these. |

Can be a threat when he gets his own way up front as seen at Naas last month and gave it another good go over extended 6f here behind Saturn Seven 24 days ago; up 2lb but there's not a lot of pace in this and he's one for the shortlist. |

Last win was in 2022; inconsistent last year; last of 16 on last week's belated seasonal debut at the Curragh; 5lb out of the handicap then, should at least be more competitive in this lower grade. |

16th May 2023 Yielding 0m 5f 182y |
9st 2lb |
Has been busy this season; second in a Bellewstown handicap in a first-time tongue-tie in April but well beaten last twice; has the rating to be a factor and a return to form would see him thereabouts. |

14th 14 (17) |
6th May 2023 Yielding 0m 5f 0y |

Improved from debut to win a Cork maiden but on a two-year losing run since; 5f with cut in the ground is ideal but he's been below par in recent starts. |
20/1 |

10th 13 (9) |
22nd Apr 2023 Yielding To Soft 0m 5f 164y |

No further success since 5f Cork maiden win second time out in 2021; second to Tawaazon at Bellewstown on the first of three starts this month; lesser form since then; closely matched with Ballysax Lil' Mick on running in mid-division at the Curragh last Sunday. |

Most recent of her six wins gained at Laytown last September; began the new campaign with a neck second over 7f at Dundalk; has failed to reproduce that form in two subsequent appearances and is now dropped in trip; placed only once from nine Navan runs. |

Most recent of her six wins gained at Laytown last September; 1-17 at this venue; given plenty to do finishing strongly for neck second last month, with Alex Belardo 2l back in fourth; that rival turned the tables on her two weeks ago. |

5th Sep 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Four-time turf winner who scored at Lingfield (5f, AW) in March; however, he was soundly beaten on his final run for Tristan Davidson and it's been the same story on both outings for this stable. |
40/1 |

8 (3) |
26th Jul 2025 Good 0m 5f 15y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Comfortably saw off six rivals at Lingfield (5f AW) in March but went up 7lb for that and then failed to figure at Wolverhampton and Chepstow; had some traffic issues on his stable debut last time but this is a deeper race and others are preferred. |
16/1 |
Verdict
It’s hard to get away from TAWAAZON (nap) who is in the form of his life of late and was only narrowly denied at Navan on Wednesday. He gets similar conditions here and with a handy draw (1), he will be hard to beat with a repeat of that effort. If Iva Batt is tuned up for her seasonal return, she won’t mind this ground and is back on a good mark. Mass Gathering is another with fitness to prove but her career best came over C&D.
