8st 7lb |
Five-time winner, two on turf, both over a mile on good; in good form on the AW lately, won 1m4f handicap at Dundalk in February; 0.75l second to Unterberg 14 days ago on AW; needs a good pace to aim at and trip a bit sharp; soft ground would be a concern. |

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. |

Heavily-raced gelding recorded a seventh AW win recently; turf record is less persuasive (3-71), though some encouragement can be taken from last month's third of 20 at Leopardstown. |

Six-time course winner with his last win coming over 7f here in March last year off 72; modest 3-71 strike-rate on turf but excellent third of 20 over 1m at Leopardstown 11 days ago, headed in closing stages; big player in current mood under 10lb claimer. |

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. |
