9st 7lb |
Dual C&D winner (on good and heavy) in 2024 but no joy since; beaten 1l when third in this last year and 1lb lower now but had the benefit of a recent run that day; might need this after 238 days off but Keane booked so market check advised. |

Won twice over C&D in 2024, including a premier handicap; some good runs in defeat this year including over 1m2f here last time; this trip suits better and handles this ground so is considered. |

Only 1-15 but has flashes of good form and wasn't beaten far in a 1m2f handicap at Goodwood over the summer for Gavin Cromwell; dropped out quickly on yard debut at Dundalk last month and back in trip here. |

Only 1-14 but has flashes of good form and wasn't beaten far in a 1m2f handicap at Glorious Goodwood last time; however, she's relying on some of these being below par to have a major say. |

30th Jul 2025 Good 1m 1f 197y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Best results on good ground; debut remains her only win but she has run some big races in defeat, narrowly denied in a fine duel over 9.5f at Gowran Park on last month's stable/seasonal debut; that's the furthest she's been and she was well held when back to 1m for new owners at Royal Ascot 16 days later; well worth a go at 1m2f. |

Five wins for Johnny Murtagh; poor in opening runs for new yard until a 1l fourth of 17 at the Curragh in April (7f, soft); didn't build on that back at the Curragh last time (1m, good); 12lb below his last winning mark now. |

Great money-spinner for connections and especially effective at Galway, winning for the third time there when landing Colm Quinn Mile in July under well-judged front-running ride; fine effort under 7lb penalty five days later at same venue when third in Ahonoora Handicap back at 7f; second in this race two years ago off 101 so major respect although draw hasn't been kind. |

Loves it here, winning this race two years ago and back at his best when winning Colm Quinn BMW Mile on Tuesday under well-judged front-running ride; went close to completing this notable double in 2023 so has to be respected although mandatory 7lb penalty makes this a lot tougher; good draw. |

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. |

Four-time winner, including two premier handicaps; below best on first two runs in Listed company this term and failed to beat a rival back in handicap company latest; is now 1lb below his last win but a revival is needed for last year's winning stable. |
