9st 8lb |
AW winner has yet to score on turf but plenty of good runs in defeat including when ahead of a couple of these in a Limerick rated race on penultimate; ground not ideal at Galway latest; place chance back on sounder surface. |

First reserve; only win from 17 starts came on AW; placed seven times, including a pleasing return to form when second in a 7f handicap at Leopardstown on his penultimate start; flattered by proximity to the smart Dancing Saxon last time. |

Last season's 50-1 success in a 27-runner 6f contest at the Curragh now looks like a fluke; hard to fancy on this season's form; new headgear combination. |

9st 11lb |
A 13-race maiden; bits and pieces of form to her credit and did some very good late work behind Launch Time at Leopardstown; couldn't back that up at Bellewstown but return to a more galloping track should suit, albeit wide draw not ideal. |

On the go since June of last year; two wins in 2026, over 6f at Dundalk in March and over 6f at Fairyhouse (good) in June and runs off last winning mark; last couple of runs not his best, however, and others arrive in better form. |

All seven wins came over 6f (has run well at 5f) and six of them on AW; turf breakthrough in June when scoring at Fairyhouse (6f, good) by 2.5l off 3lb lower; moderate efforts since, including when beaten by 5.5l at Cork last time (6f, good to firm); others preferred. |

Of interest on best Irish form but she's struggled in her last five runs including on stable debut here (8.6f) two weeks ago; record is now 0-9 and she needs to turn things around back in trip; cheekpieces added. |

Three wins this year, the latest at Leicester (7f, good to firm) in June, and now makes her stable debut having been picked up for 1,000gns this month; ran well on yielding ground in Ireland, but stamina for this far is still to be proven and she is 2lb out of the weights. |

Overcame slow start to win in newly applied visor at Leicester (7f; from 3lb lower) on penultimate start; less productive (fourth of five) back there over 6f subsequently; cheekpieces refitted, and Christian Howarth's 3lb claim can assist. |

Second runner for yard; four AW wins; 1-16 on turf; kept very busy on AW in recent months, on latest collared close home when runner-up over 7f off current mark; 7lb claimer takes over from Colin Keane; one to consider. |

Verdict
Despite the lack of a recent run and high draw it may pay to take a chance on SCARLET WIDOW, well-handicapped and from a yard that continues in fine form. Top-weight Send Harry remains very much of interest after a recent C&D win, while others to consider are Prime Sign, Suerte and Macadam’s Rock. [Alan Hewison]
