Form & Verdict
Was winning his second Group 3 on last season's reappearance at Naas, after which he was highly tried at the top table; below his best this season and, as is the case here, had one of the highest ratings when midfield in a Curragh Listed last time; should finish in front of Lady Tilbury on these better terms and he'd be very dangerous if blinkers triggered a return to his best form; returning to 5f could be a good thing.

Ex-Irish 7yo who had a much higher mark this time last year; well backed all day and on course when winning over C&D 12 days ago, and there's every chance he can defy a 3lb rise under Ashley Lewis, who has plenty of experience for his 3lb claim in this company.

Useful in Ireland in his younger days but has come 22lb down the weights in the space of a year for this yard; capable of popping up at this lower level but others have stronger claims.

Form & Verdict
Dual AW winner; secured best RPR yet when beaten 3l in a 5f Listed race at Cork but was still only fifth in a field of six (behind two of these) and was then midfield in a handicap at the Curragh; trainer throws the kitchen sink at her here on the headgear front and others look more threatening.

Speedy filly who usually goes hell for leather and has remained on the scene for the most part in handicaps this year; current mark entitles her to a crack at this level and she won't go down without a fight.

Speedy front-runner; progressive in handicaps last year, including two 5f Dundalk wins; ran fast in Tipperary Listed race last August, fading late into third behind today's rival Twilight Jet; made all to win 5f Group 3 at Dundalk last October; a long way below her best on reappearance in Naas event in which Twilight Jet was second.

Form & Verdict
Made winning stable debut in a C&D handicap in May and had Dun Na Sead behind when going in again at Cork (in this first-time headgear combination); when behind the same rival at the Curragh last time she lost it at the start; however, on these terms, this demands a career best from her.
