Poor strike-rate but hasn't been too far away in her last three handicaps and copes fine with all ground; each-way claims. |

Not the easiest to win with, as record of 1-24 on turf illustrates; however, is now 2lb below that sole success and not beaten far in fillies' handicaps over C&D on penultimate or at Limerick on latest; place chance. |

Consistent on turf from 6f to 1m this year; clung on by a head to land fifth win at Gowran Park (7f, good) nine days ago when well placed; should be in the mix off 5lb higher. |

10st 1lb |
Four-time winner but last win came in a claimer in 2024; some satisfactory efforts this season and the best of them came last time at Leopardstown (7f, good) when taking the runner-up spot; in the mix. |

Last win came in a 1m Killarney claimer in 2024; fifth in a claimer last time at Bellewstown, only 24 hours after finishing fourth in a handicap at the same venue; overall handicap form has been satisfactory; needs to raise his game |

10st 0lb |
Six-time C&D winner for John McConnell including this race in 2023 and 2024; modest efforts first two runs for this yard but is now 4lb below his last success and a big run would come as no surprise. |
18/1 |

9st 7lb |
Six-time winner on the AW; back from nearly a year off the track when sixth of 13 here (7f) behind a couple of today's rivals on stable debut; yard's runners highly respected at this track and he's entitled to strip fitter; wide draw. |

A winner of seven races on AW and three on turf; last turf success was in 2022, but this season's overall form provided a fair amount of encouragement; a three-time runner-up at this venue, including in June; had plenty of horses behind him at Leopardstown ten days ago. |

Four-time winner over shorter trips and only just denied over 2m at Thurles on final start last season; recent hurdle run should have put him straight and not one to rule out. |
