9st 13lb |
Has 15 AW wins to his name and been running well in defeat lately, including behind Daamberdiplomat; below his best in a C&D claimer last time so will have to improve upon that. |

Has 15 AW wins to his name, including eight at this venue but none since October 2023; did well to get within 3/4l of Valiant Force over 5f here in October and again took second behind that useful sort over this trip three weeks ago; stable 6-24 here this year; excellent chance at these weights. |

10st 0lb |
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. |

8st 6lb |
He did well after joining this yard last year and he's on a handy mark; he should get back on track sooner or later but this 10yo has failed to shine on his last three outings, over C&D on last two starts. |

Veteran whose form has dipped in last two outings, latest over C&D eight days ago; doesn't look as if he's about to improve his poor strike-rate (long time between drinks). |

Good turf spell in the autumn included a winning yard debut at Haydock (good) and a close second over C&D (soft); has run well on AW since but looks to have his share of weight; trainer runs five and won this in 2024. |

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. |

Course specialist made it ten wins here with a Listed race success over this trip in June; also won the Gladness Stakes over 7f here in March; second to subsequent Group 1 winner Comanche Brave in the Greenlands in May, with James Delight in third; holding his form admirably on the evidence of Group 2 second over 7f here three weeks ago. |

Won twice over the minimum at Tipperary last season; however, needs to prove she's as effective at this trip and might need this on yard debut returning from 210 days off; fitted with first-time tongue-tie. |

9st 2lb |
Two wins (turf/AW) from his 11 runs for Aidan O'Brien, the latest off 4lb lower at Dundalk (6f) last August; changed hands for 15,000gns in October; he needs to be at the very top of his game on this stable/seasonal debut, but new trainer does very well with recruits from other yards; not ruled out. |

Impressive Curragh maiden winner last year and got back on the scoresheet when taking a 6f handicap here in August; well below form in a French Group 3 since and needs a career-best to take this. |
