10st 0lb |
Winner of seven of his 25 races; gained most recent of five stakes wins on his favoured soft ground at Tipperary last October; has had a break since respectable seasonal return in the Gladness Stakes in March; stakes performer dropping back into handicap so has to be respected but wants softer ground. |

9st 5lb |
Has only won a Cork maiden from nine starts but held her own in Group races (7f/1m) this May; fair shout on these terms if at her best, which hasn't been the case the last twice. |

Has failed to add to a Cork maiden win; has managed two good efforts in Pattern company, second in 1m Group 3 at Leopardstown early last season and same place, beaten only a neck, in this year's Athasi Stakes over 7f here; needs to step on more recent form. |

Made a winning debut at Navan in March, runner-up in 1m Curragh Listed event next time, then finished fourth in the Irish 2,000 Guineas (1 1/4l behind New Energy); did not settle in St James's Palace and dropped out of contention in the last quarter-mile; much more like it when winning a 1m Listed event at the Curragh in June, but did not appear again. |

Big-priced runner-up in the Irish 2,000 Guineas last May; down the field in St James's Palace and Prix Jean Prat; back to his best when second to Kinross in the Group 2 Park Stakes at Doncaster; 5lb worse off when only sixth behind the same horse in the Prix de la Foret; stable's recent form is broadly positive. |

Won three times here in 2021 for Jessica Harrington including the Group 2 Boomerang Mile on Irish Champions Weekend; couple of AW wins for this yard since and was second to former stablemate Bold Discovery over a mile here in May; disappointing in Group 3 over 7f here last month; trying this trip for the first time, not nailed on to appreciate it. |

13th Oct 2024 Yielding 1m 0f 0y |
9st 8lb |
Group 3/Listed winner with best form on heavy ground; needs to bounce back from indifferent Gowran run, when Improvista and Azada finished in front of her; may have needed that on first run since Group 2 second at the Curragh in May; first-time cheekpieces; any further easing would help. |
5/1 |

21st Sep 2024 Good 1m 1f 100y |
9st 7lb |
Group 3 winner who got her head back in front in Listed company earlier in the year and was only beaten roughly a length in a Curragh Group 2 when last seen; drying ground probably against her and has been off 118 days. |

10st 1lb |
Three-time course 1m winner; no further success since July 2023 turf win at Killarney; fair form here November/December, not so good last month; 7f probably a bit sharp for him. |

8st 13lb |
Three-time C&D winner; no further success since July 2023 turf win at Killarney; two recent efforts here behind Instant Appeal were okay but may need more help from the handicapper (rider's claim a positive). |
