10st 2lb |
Both wins came at this trip, most recently at Down Royal in 2024 off 64 under today's rider; absent since moderate second in 2m Tramore handicap hurdle a year ago so may need this. |

Consistent on the Flat late last year but never a factor at Roscommon 12 days ago; well beaten in three maiden hurdles; market will reveal expectations on first handicap in this sphere. |

Was disqualified after winning a Sligo handicap before running well in defeat in stronger handicaps at Cork and Curragh over this trip; should be a big player back to maiden company. |

Off the mark at Sligo last month but disqualified as rider claimed the incorrect weight; well-backed to gain compensation off same mark at Cork 16 days ago but left with a fair bit to do when staying-on third (Zoffman second) over this trip; 2lb wrong here but interesting to see what tactics top US jockey employs. |

9st 6lb |
Won 1m6f/2m handicaps on yielding when trained in Ireland; added two more on the AW for this yard before an underwhelming run at Carlisle where perhaps the ground was too soft; he's another with each-way claims. |

Won on debut at Gowran (9.5f, soft) in April; hasn't threatened in Leopardstown Group 3 (1m2f, soft to heavy) or Goodwood Listed race (1m3f, good) but displayed staying potential at Goodwood and is not ruled out now up in trip on handicap/stable debut, having changed hands and left Johnny Murtagh. |

Won this last year by 12l off a mark of 95, beating Targa Flavio and also scored on the Flat here in June; poor Flat run since but likely to be ripe for his double bid and a big player even off 12lb higher. |

6yo who has been campaigned over further for the majority of his career but he's been a progressive sprinter this season, finishing third in a Group 3 at Sandown (5f, good) on July 4 then runner-up in Group 2 at the Curragh (5f, good to firm) last time; however, this tougher race demands more. |

2-5 for new stable this year; gained the wins on heavy and good to soft ground but coped perfectly well with good ground when close third at Kelso (2m5f; first-time tongue-tie) last month; hood (worn for three of her last four races) is discarded; likely contender again. |

Won when the hood went back on at Newcastle (2m4f, heavy) in January and followed up at Southwell (2m4f, good to soft); disappointing at Carlisle (2m3f, soft) last time but she was missing the hood, which returns today along with a first-time tongue-tie; could have a part to play. |

Verdict
Very little to go on here. PARTISAN HERO, once-raced as a juvenile, has a good pedigree and gets a tentative vote. Free Flow shaped quite well on his debut at Dundalk and could go close if he handles the ground. Parish Star also hinted at promise first time out. Newcomers Carlo Bianconi, Goldenstatewarrior and Youcrackmeup are worth a market check. [Alan Sweetman]
