Successful yard debut on seasonal return at the Curragh in March (1m4f, heavy) and has run well on both turf starts since over same trip; stamina unproven over this far. |

Off the mark over this trip at the Curragh on yard debut last month under a positive ride in testing conditions by a diminishing margin; good effort at Gowran from 7lb higher a fortnight ago when runner-up (well-backed); not certain to replicate that form on AW. |

11st 2lb |
Very promising handicap hurdle debut last month at Kilbeggan, chasing clear leader throughout without landing a blow in 16-runner 2m3f contest (good); run here a fortnight later (2m4f) too bad to be true; takes a drop in trip and remains of interest. |

Three-time Flat winner and improving over hurdles. culminating in a decent second in a 2m3f Kilbeggan contest two weeks ago; trip is suitable and unlikely to be too far away. |

Three-time Flat winner is just 1-32 over hurdles; fourth at Wexford in April but has been below that twice since and others make more appeal. |

Two of her five Flat wins have come at this track; won a Tipperary maiden hurdle last year and not a bad Downpatrick handicap run last month; decent Sligo Flat run since; needs more on these terms. |

Just one Flat win since 2021 but was only beaten a neck on soft by Tassarolo at Killarney last month; form knocked since and his better recent runs have come on softer ground than what's likely here. |

2nd 16 (3) |
16th Jul 2025 Good 1m 3f 103y |

First reserve; five wins in all codes; has been running consistently in defeat on the Flat lately including at Limerick four days ago; needs more but easy ground might help. |

Scored off 3lb lower at Tipperary just over a year ago (12.5f, good); pleasing return at Gowran 20 days ago and should strip fitter but stamina to prove at this trip; booking of Keane a plus. |

Pretty poor in three runs since the 25-1 winner of a 1m4f Tipperary handicap 12 months ago; only 3lb higher if she was all the better for a break. |

Back-to-back winner on AW at 1m4f/2m earlier this year and didn't run badly back there when last seen in February (2m); 1-13 on turf and rated 21lb lower on this surface; second off 1lb higher at Tipperary in August last year, but poor at Down Royal next time when last seen on turf. |

9st 6lb |
Added his second course win in December when making virtually all over 1m4f and made light work of a 6lb rise when comfortably scoring over C&D last time, with Black Gem 3l behind; hit with a 7lb hike, but he may not be finished improving. |
9/2 |

Dual course winner at 1m4f, including on latest when making virtually all to score under this rider, with Power Of Prayer back in fifth; first crack at 2m so has stamina to prove. |

Sole success came on yielding ground in this race last year when a 33-1 shot; same mark now but beaten 11.5l on sole start this season at Sligo in May; would probably prefer an ease in the ground. |
