Grand servant whose nine wins include this race last year off 94; touched off at the Curragh on opening day of campaign but hasn't reproduced that effort off revised mark and has a bit to find with a couple of these on recent Tipperary run; 2lb lower. |

9st 5lb |
Three-time winner at this venue in handicaps at 7f-1m on good and soft ground; saw out 1m2f well when a 1.5l second over C&D in the Northfields premier handicap last season; just missed black type when fourth in a Listed at Navan (1m, good) on penultimate; rated 94 so unlikely winner but could challenge for a place. |

Last year's winner off 76; Good runs here include second in a premier handicap last September (1m2f, good); easily won from a 5lb lower mark here in March (1m, soft); outran odds of 66-1 in a Navan Listed event when 3.25l fourth of 12 last time; likeable sort. |

Two-time C&D winner on heavy off higher marks; went close again over C&D in October, again on heavy; caught the eye when short of room and not beaten far at Killarney on latest (1m, good); softer conditions would be preferable but he's got plenty of decent form on this sort of ground and his yard targets this meeting; chance. |

One of two for trainer; all three wins have come here, including one over C&D; 8lb below his last winning mark from 2024; good placed form on good ground over 1m here in June and at Killarney and Gowran last month; yielding to soft ground a possible excuse when disappointing at Galway last time; he could have a big run in him with Keane aboard for the first time. |

Shaped well on debut for Johnny Feane in a 6f maiden at Naas last November, staying on late for fourth after starting slowly; confirmed promise at Sligo on seasonal debut; had plenty to spare when winning a 1m Killarney maiden in May, form boosted by the second with an 8l win at Listowel; unexposed sort, holds a leading chance. |
