Filly often runs well and, while latest was disappointing, has a chance; another who often misses the break; both career wins were last October over sprint trips but stays. |

2-18; experienced filly was narrowly denied in a big field handicap at Leopardstown last time off 66 (7f, good); up 1lb to 67 for that 0.75l third but she won nurseries off 68 and 76 last October; those victories came on yielding-soft and heavy but she handles quicker ground and she should be on the premises. |

8st 10lb |
Both wins have been at this track, including early last season over this trip (soft) and better form when third to Go Athletico in Scurry from out of handicap; reportedly coming into season when disappointing joint-favourite on C&D seasonal return in March, more expected of now. |

8st 12lb |
Sole win last season came over C&D (soft) on this card last year; three creditable runs off revised mark subsequently before form tailed off in the Autumn; dropped 2lb, handles heavy ground and dangerous to dismiss for yard that had a winner at Cheltenham this week. |

Has shown good form over this trip (and the extended 6f) at this venue this year; winner on soft in March and placed three times on good; down in grade again after contesting a premier handicap here a month ago. |

9st 4lb |
Career-best on latest to land a nice pot at the Curragh (6f, sft-hvy) under this rider, her fourth win; ground-versatile but she'll need to improve again to follow up off a career-high mark of 90. |

Won 5f course handicap (heavy) on final run of 2025 off 8lb lower; needed her seasonal return but eyecatching effort here over 5f six days ago when third of 14, finishing off to good effect; should be bang there for stable in terrific form. |

Won over C&D (heavy) on final run of 2025 off 7lb lower; moderate effort when a 7.75l fifth behind Dmaniac here on seasonal return (6f, heavy); will be sharper now but may need a bit more help from the handicapper. |

Two wins to his name including a nursery; 93 rating leaves him with plenty to find, and he could manage only fifth off that mark in last week's Birdcatcher at Naas; stepping up to 7f for the first time on his eighth start. |
