Has been out of form since Roscommon win last August; better ground may prompt a revival; however, Methgal is a more obvious contender for the stable. |

Dual winner and today's trip/ground is fine; nearly got up from off the pace last time at Tipperary (7.5f, good to firm) and possibilities despite her career-high mark. |

Behind Buddy Batt and Lethimfly here in March but later posted a career-best RPR when winning over 6f back here in April and can be forgiven his subsequent defeat at Chester; hard to leave out of calculations. |

Fully exposed 5yo but he recorded the best RPR of his 50-race career when winning at Dundalk last month (6f); while effective on turf, he looks high enough in the weights now returning to grass; well drawn but others appeal more for win purposes. |

A winner of six races when trained in Britain but failed to hit the frame for this stable last season; on a dangerous mark but lacks a run and likely best watched. |

Back-to-back wins in 2024 including over C&D on soft; well beaten both 2025 starts but is now 3lb below last winning mark and the rain has come so can't be ruled out. |

Added second turf win when keeping on well to comfortably land a 1m Leopardstown handicap on seasonal return (1m, good to yielding); follow-up attempt under a 7lb penalty perhaps came too quickly on softer ground; up 10lb compared to her win but not discounted. |

Has been busy this year and was fit from AW when winning over 1m at the Curragh in March; touched off on her return there before disappointing when favourite at Gowran; has made the running on her two most recent starts; may find a few too good again. |

Been busy this year and was fit from AW when winning over 1m at the Curragh in March; touched off on her return there before disappointing when favourite at Gowran; fourth over this trip on AW last time after making the running, and not sure she wants to go this far. |

Won her third race on turf when taking 1m Curragh handicap (heavy) in March before a close second there next time; disappointing favourite at Gowran on latest; 0-7 on AW but has run well on the surface and has to be taken seriously from 19lb lower AW mark. |

C&D winner in October but the ground was heavy then and she does prefer give underfoot; no better than seventh this season (good/yielding) and there will be other days for her. |

Durable mare enjoyed a fine summer in 2024, compiling form figures of 2311 before a below par ninth of 16 on final start at Galway; best suited by soft/heavy; should be better for last month's reappearance at Fairyhouse. |

One of two for trainer; three-time winner here, the latest over C&D in December off 48; didn't get the best of runs when unplaced here in February (5f) and raced wide when weakened into ninth of 11 last time (6f); can do better. |

Added to her two 6f wins here when taking a C&D handicap last time by a neck; up 5lb for that win, and has never won from a mark this high; should give a good account of herself all the same; declared for the 2.08 here on Wednesday. |
