10st 9lb |
Ex-Joseph O'Brien-trained 5yo won Cork maiden hurdle and consistent in handicaps last season; impressed when scoring on chase/stable debut at Ballinrobe (23.5f, yielding) after a break last month; reverts to hurdling with a solid chance; Harry Cobden's sole ride on the card. |

11st 7lb |
Ex-Joseph O'Brien-trained 5yo won Cork maiden hurdle (good) and consistent placed form in handicaps at up to 2m6f last season; absent since never-dangerous seventh over inadequate 2m2f in valuable mares' handicap at the DRF in February; dam won over fences in France, so good chance she'll take to this discipline and market likely a good guide. |

Comfortable Cork maiden hurdle winner (good) has been running consistently in handicaps; placed on her last four starts and did not seem inconvenienced by heavy ground when second to Cousin Kate at Limerick; fair chance of reversing form on these terms. |

Flat winner; won impressively on hurdles debut at Down Royal and then touched off in the Royal Bond by Koktail Brut; further behind that rival in DRF Grade 1 and beaten a neck by Le Labo in Grade 3 at Naas; still in the mix when falling at the last at Fairyhouse last time in first-time cheekpieces (discarded); can go close with a clear round. |

Three Flat turf wins, including a Leopardstown premier handicap on heavy; has taken well to hurdling, winning Down Royal maiden and just denied by Koktail Brut in Grade 2 Royal Bond over C&D; 2l behind Koktail Brut when fifth in DRF Grade 1; sloppy jumping proved costly when beaten a neck by Le Labo at Navan; first time with cheekpieces. |

Three Flat turf wins, including a Leopardstown premier handicap on heavy; has taken well to hurdling, winning Down Royal maiden and just denied in Grade 2 Royal Bond at Fairyhouse; DRF fifth at Grade 1 level wasn't a bad effort either; skips the Supreme for this and sets the standard. |

Has some eyecatching hurdle form this year and latest 6l fifth in a Listed handicap at Listowel was another sound effort; however, although a winner on the Flat, he hasn't been great this year. |

Second to the subsequent Galway Hurdle winner Putapoundinthejar at Bellewstown in July, so no surprise that he went one place better at Killarney last month; in between, seventh of 17 in a 1m4f handicap at Galway; this trip is probably a little short of his best |

Godolphin cast off left previous hurdling form behind when landing a Cork maiden in May (17.5f, good), earning a rating of 117; unseated on the Flat at Leopardstown on only start since; a bit to find on the figures but will like the ground and not dismissed. |

Sole success came over 2m1f at Limerick in May last year; looked like he might add to his tally when unseating two out at Killarney in May (20.5f, gd-yld) and 2lb lower now; 2m7f-3m perhaps too far the last twice, could rebound back in trip. |
