French APQS winner in 2017; won 2m3f Naas maiden just over four years ago before taking second Envoi Allen in 2m4f Grade 1 runner-up at the same venue; was still in the hunt when badly hampered and fell two out in the 2020 Supreme Novices' won by Shishkin. |

12st 0lb |
Record of 1-19 over timber; three-time winner on the Flat has placed in two starts in that sphere since falling over hurdles at Leopardstown in March; recent form suggests she's fit and healthy but poor strike rate over hurdles is off-putting. |

9st 2lb |
Had three seasons with Andrew Balding, including three wins, and has been with this yard since July 2023, including for two wins (one over hurdles) and plenty of place returns; third over 1m4f in her only two Flat runs in the last 13 months, including under Patrick McGettigan 17 days ago, and her very solid Flat record for this trainer suggests she will be on the premises. |

11st 3lb |
The more his mark has eased this spring and summer the better he's done over fences, culminating in last month's Stratford success (2m1f, good); chance likely rests on whether he's derived sufficient confidence from that experience to defy going back up 10lb. |

0-6 over fences; bounced back from poor performance when keeping on well to snatch never-dangerous second at Worcester (2m, good) 12 days ago but others here have more convincing profiles. |

11st 12lb |
Useful three-time winner on Flat, Group 3-placed over 1m6f in 2020; made his hurdling debut later that year; frustrating until winning a maiden at Thurles in March 2022; out of the money behind El Fabiolo in a novice event here at the end of that season; absent since a Flat run 18 months ago. |

10st 2lb |
Has lost way since a purple patch in 2024 which included a win here over 20.5f (gd-yld) off 15lb higher; not a bad run on return from 133 days off latest and on a dangerous mark if she's back on song. |

Wins have been divided between Tramore and Wexford, all on decent ground; long losing run however and continues to struggle off plummeting mark. |

26th Oct 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 0y |
10st 12lb |
Won twice last year and is 7lb below her last success but she is hard to fancy on what she has shown on her last three runs, though she faced an impossible task on latest. |
