9st 5lb |
Four-time winner but not since Irish Cambridgeshire win of 2024; definite encouragement on second start back off reduced mark without quite staying this trip at Leopardstown; blinkers now replace visor and now 11lb below career-high mark but stamina remains a concern at this trip. |

Smart sort is only 4-29 but has run well in defeat many times in quality races including when beaten 2.5l into fourth over C&D off 95 in October; this ground could be a bit too testing for him on return but the veteran could still go well. |

Reasonably consistent on AW late last year; has a modest overall strike rate (3-56), but worth bearing in mind that all his wins have come at this track. |

Great money-spinner for connections and especially effective at Galway, winning for the third time there when landing Colm Quinn Mile in July under well-judged front-running ride; fine effort under 7lb penalty five days later at same venue when third in Ahonoora Handicap back at 7f; second in this race two years ago off 101 so major respect although draw hasn't been kind. |

Loves it here, winning this race two years ago and back at his best when winning Colm Quinn BMW Mile on Tuesday under well-judged front-running ride; went close to completing this notable double in 2023 so has to be respected although mandatory 7lb penalty makes this a lot tougher; good draw. |

Well backed on his stable debut at Nottingham in October (8.3f, heavy) but blew the start and finished tailed off; again slowly away when third over 1m2f back at Nottingham six days later; pulled up on hurdle debut 45 days ago; risky. |

He's struggled to get competitive for three different yards this year, despite tumbling in the weights; having only his second go for Ryan Potter today and finished 44l adrift six days ago when co-favourite here (1m, heavy) on first attempt for him, albeit after a slow start; not often seen over this far; it will be interesting to see if his backers return. |

Last year's winner has dropped to 4lb below that winning mark following some poor runs in the interim; but has also run with credit, including when keeping on for a 4.25l fourth at Galway on his penultimate run; not ruled out back to the scene of his victory. |

Progressive sort has won both starts since moving to Charles Byrnes; won off 95 at Thurles (2m, good) and followed up off 111 at Navan (2m, yielding to soft); got hit with a 14lb hike for that and this is a much tougher task; will need a career best but he can't be discounted. |
