Three-time winner, at Fairyhouse, Laytown and Dundalk, during a very busy 2022 campaign; below her best at Dundalk on final three starts last year, same on first two turf runs this term; encouraging fifth over C&D last month, perhaps on the point of hitting form again.

Was mostly well beaten on the AW over the winter but fared much better back on turf at Leopardstown last time over 7f; this drop in trip should suit and could run well even from 2lb out of the handicap.

Nine-time winner in Germany; came to Ireland with an inflated rating and unable to justify it despite running well in a couple of premier handicaps last year; back on soft ground here after failing at Dundalk this year; could well be competitive off this mark and not dismissed.

Hasn't won since 2023 but a repeat of his second of 18 at Fairyhouse in May off his current mark offers some hope if he can put his best foot forward; others appeal more.
