9st 1lb |
Plenty of ability but very hard to win with; sole Irish success came at the Curragh in April 2024; later that year, twice second to Merisi Diamond over C&D; again ran well here on seasonal debut and when second at Listowel later in May; possibly needed the run here last time. |

First reserve; has run well in both starts this season; beaten 2.25l when runner up at Listowel when last seen in May; has gone well fresh before and C&D form figures read 224; chance if gets a run. |

Over two years since latest of only two wins; second over 6f at the Curragh in October and ran well over 7.5f on return, but poor strike-rate overall; prefers it soft but handles good. |

Won this race in 2020 and again last year off 1lb higher; likely to have needed his latest outing when behind a few of these at Roscommon and Oisin Murphy is an eye-catching booking; looks to have been laid out for this; interesting. |

Record of 2-42 (1-28 on turf); didn't look like a winner in waiting during a winter AW campaign and below-par again on return to the turf at Navan (6f, heavy); 5f more suitable but needs a revival. |

Went close at Fairyhouse over 7f (good) and went one better to notch fifth win 23 days ago when beating El Fontenaro by 0.75l over 6.5f at Limerick; the pair pulled well clear and the runner-up won next time out, so has obvious claims off 9lb higher. |

9st 9lb |
Ought to have coped much better with the good to soft turf when down the field at Ayr (6f) three weeks ago but ran on well for second behind a next-time-out winner over C&D on stable debut in July and has good claims if judged on that performance. |

Won at Listowel in June; no impact off revised mark next three starts but then went close at Naas; midfield on his two most recent starts; C&D maiden winner on yielding ground a year ago; all nine races in 2025 have been over further; first-time blinkered. |

Three-time winner; below par last year; faded in a 1m contest at this event on her first run of the season; more like it when fourth at Listowel ten days ago; now reunited with the champion jockey who won twice on her in 2024; worth considering. |
