Both previous turf wins have come over 1m but landed a 1m4f handicap at Dundalk in February; recent turf efforts leave him with a fair bit to find, but has dropped to a mark 7lb below his AW figure. |

Both turf wins came over 1m but proved stamina for 1m4f when scoring at Dundalk in February; nice prep run for this at Navan over 1m2f and the step back up to this trip is a plus but he's got a tricky draw to overcome. |

0-13 on Flat in Ireland, mostly for Gordon Elliott; capable of low-level form, which she showed again on stable debut at Wolverhampton (7f) 18 days ago, but she needs better if she's to play a leading role in this. |

27th Aug 2025 Good 2m 2f 28y Class 4 |

Ex-Irish mare who's barely put a foot wrong this year for current yard; that includes wins at Pontefract (1m4f) and Carlisle (1m6f) on two of her last three outings, both on good (unraced on firmer); shaped as if she got 2m on Newcastle AW in between (6l third to Stand Strong) but the 1m6f win was clearly her best effort. |

Two-time winner last year, including on yielding over C&D off 51 and followed up off 60 a month later; went close off that mark at Killarney back in July (11.5f, good); down to 56 after below par efforts the last twice; could bounce back, though very soft ground would be a worry. |
