Form & Verdict
0-5 on turf; sole win came in a Dundalk maiden (8f) in November; best effort this season a 5.75l fifth in a Listed race in June at Leopardstown (9f, good); wasn't beaten that far off 95 in a 9f Leopardstown handicap when last seen in July; drop in trip here not certain to suit and blinkers reached for; others preferred.

Showed decent level of ability on turf last year before landing AW maiden in November; respectable reappearance over C&D in good-class Listed contest last month but disappointing in Curragh premier handicap later in month, beaten when hampered and short of room before eased; tongue-tie now tried and looks vulnerable.

Lightly raced 3yo showed decent level of ability in a couple of turf starts last year before landing odds in AW maiden in November; respectable reappearance over this trip in good-class Leopardstown Listed early this month but probably needs to improve to play a major role here.

Form & Verdict
She showed potential on her debut at Naas and she duly hacked up by 6l on her second start in an 8f Bellewstown maiden (good to yielding, RPR 83), beating a decent yardstick; this is a whole lot tougher, she's down in trip and the ground will be quicker here too; has a bit to prove but is clearly talented and it would be foolish to write her off.

Three-time h'cap winner, including over C&D in final 2024 start; ran just three times last season; produced a smart display to win a 7f premier handicap at the Irish Champions meeting; towards rear throughout on comeback in a 7f Curragh Listed contest (soft to heavy); may be better suited by this ground but Tashakour looks like the yard's main hope.

A 6yo having his 20th start but better than ever this season and did well to defy top weight so convincingly at Leopardstown (7f, good to yielding) having been dropped in from a bad draw; on the shortlist.

Form & Verdict
Won a C&D handicap off 72 back in April on yielding ground; off since 2l fifth off revised mark of 80 at the Curragh in May; has a lot to find at these weights and may prefer softer ground; others make more appeal and she looks the stable's second string.

Surprise winner of a Cork handicap in September (6f) and ran well over C&D when fourth in November; changed hands for 135,000 gns and made a successful yard debut at Gowran, winning by 0.75l from Gypsy Woman over this trip; 8lb rise makes things tough but definite claims.

Highly tried after winning a Yarmouth maiden for Alice Haynes; off the mark on fourth start for current yard in a Naas handicap off 87 in June (6f, good); no impact off 5lb higher on next start at Cork over 5f and been gelded since; not well treated by the conditions of this race and is best watched for now.

Highly tried last season after his successful debut, running particularly well in a Group 3 at Deauville; remains in the same ownership this year despite changing yards and, although behind Kendall Roy two runs back, he showed bright speed and made all for a narrow success at Naas (6f, good; second-time blinkers); up 5lb but reverting to 5f shouldn't be an issue.
