Off the mark for this yard in 1m1f Leopardstown handicap (soft) 19 days ago; all three of her wins have come in handicaps on soft/heavy and she was well held on her only previous try at this level at Gowran in May; cheekpieces go on; Shaool looks yard's best hope. |

Solid form in handicaps for John O'Donoghue; good efforts in handicaps at the Curragh (1m, soft to heavy) and at this course (1m2f, yielding to soft; had Couer d'Or behind) on first two runs for this stable; outclassed in Listed grade at Gowran but a big player if the ground deteriorates. |

Three-time AW winner added a second turf win in decisive fashion on return from 107 days off on first try over 1m4f (good) at Leopardstown last month; ridden by 7lb claimer that day so effectively 15lb higher here; will need a big career best to follow up, but unexposed at this distance and can't be discounted. |

Made a promising handicap hurdle debut at Kilbeggan in July, chasing clear leader throughout without landing a blow in a 16-runner 2m3f contest (good); Wexford run a fortnight later looked too bad to be true; had dropped out of contention when falling at the last at the same venue last time; questions to answer. |

Back-to-back 6f wins on good (including here) in July but handles an ease; 1l behind Amiata over 6f here on penultimate and 5lb better off now; was on the wrong side of the track over C&D three days ago so that run can be marked up; this is a stronger race, however, and 2lb wrong but has a place shout. |

One of three for yard; Flat winner (two on soft-heavy) is 0-8 over timber but he ran better on yielding ground at Killarney last time when a warm order but relegated to third place late on (no chance with winner); can build on that effort. |

Made up plenty of ground to lead close home at Galway festival (1m4f, yielding; same race she won the year before) on penultimate start but was herself pipped by a fast finisher; won starts either side, latest by a head off the same mark at Sligo (10.5f) four days later; this is a very different track but she has to be considered with her mark virtually unchanged. |
