Form & Verdict
Seven-time began his career for this trainer before going to Australia where he won a pair of Group 2 events and was also second in a Group 1 on heavy over this trip; back in Ireland last season and ended the season with a comfortable AW win; likely to take beating on return.

Form & Verdict
Won a Cork maiden in 2020 and runner-up in a Listed race there over 6f the following year; back from a near three year break with a decent run in a Curragh handicap recently; has a bit to find with the best of these but should run well.

Only win came in a Cork maiden in 2020; narrowly denied over 7f at Gowran on his penultimate start and wasn't beaten far in Leopardstown Group 3 since but mark looks tough.

T: J S Bolger

Highly tried and rated as 3yo but only managed maiden win; back from almost three years off and nearly beat 104-rated foe at Gowran (7f, heavy) on Thursday; turned out again quickly which is a very Bolger thing to do; won't mind this ground and respected.

An eight-time winner over shorter, including last time at Naas over 6f; has placed form at this trip too and on heavy ground; should be capable of a big run.

J: Colin Keane

T: Stephen Thorne

Nine-time winner, most recently over C&D (soft) off 82 in March; best effort for some time when today's headgear tried in finishing never nearer fourth over C&D 17 days ago in testing conditions; 2lb lower now and Keane takes over; has to be respected.

Nine-time winner, most recently over C&D (soft) off 6lb higher in March; well behind Gerrit's Gem at Cork on latest; new headgear combination needs to spark a revival, well-treated if it does.
