Course legend has won 10 of his 12 races at this track and amassed 575,000GBP in prizemoney; has won twice at Listed level this season and second in a Group 2; however, wasn't himself when eased and well beaten last time; has run well in defeat in this race for the last two years but the trip stretches him and is vulnerable again. |

Best known for AW exploits, but is effective on turf; not a bad effort on seasonal return in the Habitat Handicap when 2.25l behind the winner Headmaster (6f, good); good second at Navan next time, but his latest two runs have been below-par, including when well beaten over 6.5f here last time; blinkers return and replace the visor worn that day. |

Three wins here; struck for the first time since 2024 when winning at Navan in June; may have benefitted from track position (only runner-up and himself raced far side), but in fairness, second won lately; missed an engagement here earlier this month and profile suggests layoff not ideal; 3lb wrong, but top 'bug' rides. |

9st 2lb |
Likeable mare ran a cracking race on her seasonal return in a median auction race at Fairyhouse (6f, good) when just 0.5l behind the winner Tango Flare; rated just 92, however, so looks to be out of her depth in this grade (failed to trouble the judge in three previous runs in stakes company). |

9st 8lb |
Eight-time winner including three on turf; won off 87 at Navan last August (6f, yielding); well-beaten when last seen at Dundalk in February; has gone well fresh before so worth a market check on return. |

Ended a losing run when getting his head back in front at Dundalk (7f) in September; however, yet to show his best form at 5f and entitled to need this after 301 days off. |

Seven-time winner (including four at this track); has looked regressive the last couple of years and was beaten out of sight at Naas last month; hopes rest on a return to the AW from a falling mark; wide draw doesn't help. |
