9st 2lb |
Two wins on soft going last season and he's been placed in big-field handicaps at Cork (10.4f, good to yielding) and the Curragh (1m2f, good) on his last two starts; each-way shout if fast ground isn't an issue. |

Made almost all to win this race last year (Ballycashin third); ran well off 10lb higher mark at Tramore in August; otherwise has done all his racing on the Flat over the past year; placed on multiple occasions, fair form late; fourth of nine at Ballinrobe last Friday. |

All three Flat wins have come over an extended 1m1f on good ground, including this race last year off 1lb lower; opening two runs this term on AW were okay, well held latest under a 10lb claimer at Limerick; respected back here but ideally wants better ground. |

Three-time winner and 2lb beneath his last winning mark; beaten about 4l in his last two races at 1m1f so not in bad form and he might get a good pace to chase, which helps him. |

All three wins have been gained at the Curragh; eight of his 17 places have also come at that venue, including a fine second there on his latest start; not guaranteed to produce his best form, though he managed a second placing here in 2023 on his only visit. |

Sole win in 26 Flat starts was over 1m1f in lower-grade contest here last August; that is possibly his optimum trip, although only beaten half-a-length over 10.5f on AW in December; after five months off, not a bad run at Roscommon lately. |

Just one win from 28 attempts, but has been knocking on the door in recent starts here; fourth over 10.5f in November before taking third spot next two times; squeezed out when one-paced upped in trip over C&D last time; this trip may not be his optimum. |

11th Sep 2025 Good To Yielding 1m 1f 130y |

Came good at the third attempt when beating two market leaders in a 1m2f maiden on good ground at Navan in June; set a tough task in a Group 3 race at Naas later that month; her sights are lowered considerably, and she appeals as a relatively unexposed filly in her first handicap. |
