Two-time AW winner is 0-13 on turf but has gone close in defeat; some of best efforts have come at Galway so likely to be heading to Ballybrit; however, not beaten far at Down Royal last time (7f, soft) and 1lb lower now so place shout, though could be drawn better. |

Six-time course winner, most effective at this trip; generally below his best since winning here last September; mild encouragement from his most recent run, but needs to reverse form with Comfort Line, Kitty Bear and Punk Poet; dropping in the ratings, now 9lb below last winning mark. |

Two wins include over this trip at the Curragh over a year ago off 73; fine C&D runner-up on comeback but race may have come too soon at the Curragh four days later; solid third at Cork on latest and handles any ground; remains nicely treated. |

Two wins include over this trip at the Curragh a year ago off 73; fine comeback run at Leopardstown but race may have come too soon when only midfield at the Curragh four days later; short break since and remains nicely handicapped, with in-form rider's claim an added bonus. |

Four-time AW winner, sole turf success came in 5f handicap at Naas in May 2024; solid effort when over 1m at Bellewstown in April and backed that up with a close third over 6f at Naas last month; 1-22 record on turf is a concern but those recent efforts have been encouraging |

Four-time AW winner, sole turf success came in 5f handicap (good) on this card in 2024 and he's just 1lb higher now; solid effort over 1m at Bellewstown latest (soft); should get a strong pace to aim at here and not discounted. |
