C&D winner in 2023 won for the second time in a 6f Fairyhouse claimer in May; raised 19lb for that win but has been solid in defeat since including over C&D; got no run at Fairyhouse last time; a player. |

Bridged a gap of almost three years between wins when landing a C&D claimer (good) in May; did well to take a 2l third of eight at Down Royal (5f, soft) last time after being raised 19lb for her claimer win; in great form and she has a chance if it continues. |

Well backed both starts for this stable; kept on well over 7f at Limerick for a never-dangerous sixth; had an excuse (coughing) when soundly beaten at Leopardstown latest (1m1f, god); tongue-tie (worn on best runs for former yard) returns and also sports blinkers; interesting. |

Maiden after 14 starts; one of his better runs last year when second over 7f at this venue; heavily supported in the betting when sixth of 14 at Roscommon (7f, yielding) on yard debut last month; this trip and ground may suit better. |

Wasn't beaten far in couple of handicaps towards the end of last term; well held in three runs this season and was a beaten favourite on two of the three runs; workable mark if she gets back to last season's level of form. |

On a long losing run since gaining his sixth career win in a Limerick claimer in 2023; not beaten far in four 2025 outings; suffered interference in the early stages when well fancied at Gowran last time; potentially interesting with a top apprentice booked. |

Sole win came over C&D in 2024 but has been running consistently in defeat on AW; beaten just a neck at Wolverhampton 18 days ago off 2lb lower; may build on that back at scene of his win, but with his 1-25 strike-rate caution is advised. |
