9st 10lb |
Won three handicaps last season including this event off 93 (beating Gleneagle Bay a head); career-best when beaten a neck in Group 3 Brownstown Stakes over C&D in July, well below best when dropped in trip latest; one to consider. |

9st 7lb |
Won three handicaps last season, including the Sovereign Path over 7f at Leopardstown's Irish Champions fixture; solid form this season, including second to Bellaphina (rec 11lb) in a 7f Curragh handicap before career-best in finishing a neck second in a Leopardstown Group 3; failed to match that form when unplaced favourite for a 7f Listed race at Cork ten days ago. |

Unlucky not to get her head in front again this term after an eyecatching second in a Curragh handicap before a neck defeat in a Leopardstown Group 3 last time out recording a career best; looks like a big each-way player again. |

Useful for Richard Fahey, winning five times the latest of which was a 7f handicap in Qatar in November 2024; makes his debut for his new yard (gelded in the meantime) and, like his stablemate The Strikin Viking, whether he is on a favourable mark remains to be seen; the choice of James Doyle, though, so interesting to see what the market says. |

3yo who made it four wins from his six starts when scoring at Chester (6f, good) in July, and he's been a close third the next twice (6f/7f, good); won on debut on good to soft (unraced on softer); he could still have more to offer and may be in the shake-up this afternoon. |

All three wins at about 7f on good and good to firm; has more to prove at 1m but previous handicap attempts at the trip were in better company than this and it's likely he will stay this far round here; can go well following a creditable show at Beverley recently; Lewis Kent 2-2 for yard. |

Won this in 2024 off 4lb higher, his last win; well beaten in repeat bid last season but then chased home Slieve Binnian in hot handicap at Leopardstown; not a bad run on seasonal return at Naas and soft wouldn't have suited on latest; could go well back on faster ground if the new blinkers provide a spark. |

Best run last year when second in valuable C&D handicap (good to firm) in first-time cheekpieces off 90; form regressed afterwards but encouraging seasonal return (well-backed) at Naas last month over 1m; down in grade here off a fair mark so one to consider. |

Two wins at Goodwood last autumn and admirably consistent in defeat this season, going close in a big field over C&D (good) then finishing fifth in the Royal Hunt Cup at Royal Ascot (1m, good to firm; second of 20 in group); there is every chance that he will be bang there. |
