Hat-trick of C&D wins the winter before last, cuminating in a victory off 84 in February of last year; mark has declined steadily since, but some creditable turf runs this summer make him of interest on first run in this grade on Polytrack. |

Filly often runs well and, while latest was disappointing, has a chance; another who often misses the break; both career wins were last October over sprint trips but stays. |

2-18; experienced filly was narrowly denied in a big field handicap at Leopardstown last time off 66 (7f, good); up 1lb to 67 for that 0.75l third but she won nurseries off 68 and 76 last October; those victories came on yielding-soft and heavy but she handles quicker ground and she should be on the premises. |

Wins over 7f at Naas and Galway over the summer and holding his form well, most recently getting to within a neck of front-running Uncle Goalie over same trip at the Curragh; 1m probably stretches him but definite chance of reversing that form here on 2lb better terms. |

Course winner (5.5f, yielding) last year; good third in a Gowran claimer (1m, good) this month and she kept on late in the day when filling the same position at Punchestown (1m1f, good) on Tuesday; each-way possibilities turned out quickly. |

Ran well in a Gowran Park claimer last time out (1m, good); beaten 3.25l off 64 on last handicap start at Leopardstown in August; assessor has given her a chance but she probably needs more to win in first time cheekpieces. |

Best effort came in a maiden at Bellewstown (5f, good) when third but was still beaten 7.5l; no impact in first two handicaps and official rating of 58 may flatter him; tongue tie goes on; chance at the weights but his last two runs are off-putting. |
