9st 2lb |
Soft or heavy ground is crucial for him, and wisely was given the summer off after winning at the Curragh in April; twice beat Mercurial over C&D in 2024, including in this race; chance is dependent on how much rain falls. |

Four-time winner whose best form has on soft and heavy at around 7f; got those optimum conditions over C&D last time when third, finishing 1.75l behind Mickey The Steel and 6.5l behind Red Charlie; cheekpieces added to the tongue tie now, but may struggle to reverse form. |

All three wins have come at Leopardstown, including last time over 1m1f (good) when a comfortable victor after being allowed to dictate the pace; 5lb rise for that seems fair enough and he's in good form but must win away from his preferred track. |

Lightly enough raced since his last win two years ago; well beaten over seven at the Curragh last week but had run quite well in handicaps over this trip on soft ground prior to that; career low mark today and no surprise should he be involved although ground might not be soft enough. |

Plenty of ability but very hard to win with; sole Irish success came at the Curragh in April 2024; later that year, twice second to Merisi Diamond over C&D; again ran well here on seasonal debut and when second at Listowel later in May; possibly needed the run here last time. |
