Last win was in late 2024, but was second over 7f at last year's Galway festival and some good AW runs over the winter; has much lower mark on turf. |

9st 9lb |
Without a win since landing two in a row on the Dundalk Polytrack (6f/7f) in late 2024, and below par there in February last time; however, he's produced some positive performances this winter and has edged back down the weights; might not be far away. |

Four-time Dundalk winner, most recently over 7f in December 2024 off 94; creditable runs over same trip this winter but below best in first-time cheekpieces in valuable Newcastle handicap on latest; remains high enough in the weights but possibly the pick of the yard's trio of runners. |

Well backed when landing a third C&D win in January; 7f too far here last week, return to this trip to suit but more needed. |

Well-backed when landing a third win here (all at 6f) in January; nearly 3l off stablemate The Liffey in 6f claimer two starts back, most recent handicap run was okay; rare foray over 7f here and could be vulnerable. |

9st 7lb |
All wins have been at 6f on AW or a sound turf surface but encouraging attempt at today's trip in premier Leopardstown handicap last month, not quite getting home after racing keenly when under 4l off stablemate Rahmi; could go close here if settling better. |

Better AW performer; improved for better ground when a never-nearer third of 19 in an apprentice handicap at Leopardstown (1m, good) when last seen around this time last year; best watched on return/stable debut. |

Four-time 6f course winner who hinted at a return to form when third of six here four weeks ago; failed to build on that on his most recent visit, though not far behind Sporting Hero in that event. |

Registered tenth course win over this trip in January; that success was his first since September 2024; solid fifths the last twice, the latest over C&D when 2.5l behind I'm Spartacus; has won off a mark of 82 in the past, but majority of wins gained over 5f. |

Added tenth course win here last time over 6f (seven-time winner over 5f); that success was his first since September 2024; up 5lb, but he's still fairly treated compared to some of his previous wins. |

9st 0lb |
Runner-up six times before belatedly opening account in this race last year off 79 (4lb out of handicap); some good runs afterwards in defeat, although well below best final start behind Tango Flare in Bold Lad over C&D; lacks a recent run this time around but Hayes stays loyal. |

Runner-up on six occasions before belatedly opening account with 6f Curragh win in May on 16th outing, beating subsequent Rockingham winner Keke; has run well in defeat since, latest when staying on fourth on first attempt over 5f at Cork last month; return to 6f should suit and definite player. |

8st 7lb |
Seeking an 11th course success, having gained his tenth by a narrow margin over 6f here in April (fine at 5f); only 2lb higher and wouldn't read too much into a no-show at the Curragh last time. |

Has 15 AW wins to his name and been running well in defeat lately, including behind Daamberdiplomat; below his best in a C&D claimer last time so will have to improve upon that. |

Has 15 AW wins to his name, including eight at this venue but none since October 2023; did well to get within 3/4l of Valiant Force over 5f here in October and again took second behind that useful sort over this trip three weeks ago; stable 6-24 here this year; excellent chance at these weights. |
