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 10th Dundalk win over this trip in January, his first since September 2024; solid efforts in defeat since, not beaten far into eighth when awkward leaving the stalls on latest; returns from 174 days off and can race from really attractive mark (18lb below AW rating) on his beach debut. |

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. |

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. |

Irish raider with nine wins on his CV (four gained on Polytrack); comes here after three good efforts in big-field turf handicaps last month (5f-6f) and ought to make his presence felt. |

C&D winner sent off single figure odds on last two starts at Naas (both 5f, good) and ran respectably; is very well handicapped on best form and won't be inconvenienced by softer ground if the rain arrives; can't discount. |

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. |

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. |

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 |

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. |

Took her Irish trainer's record with runners here to 3-8 when justifying favouritism over C&D four days ago; that came in a 0-55 handicap that panned out nicely and this is tougher under the penalty, but she's respected. |

Won for the second time when scoring by a wide margin at Galway over 7f last time when 9lb out of the handicap; a 9lb hike demands more but has won off a higher mark before so has to be taken seriously. |

5th Sep 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

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. |

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.
