J: Patrick McGettigan

Thrived since joining this yard, three wins from five at this track, albeit all at 5f, most recently off 77 early this month; speedy type up an aggregate of 32lb this term so rider's claim very valuable here and now tries 6f again.

Four-time winner here at 6f-7f, including when readily seeing off 13 rivals over 7f three weeks ago off 70; now 9lb higher but can't be discounted and won over this trip at the Curragh in August.

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.

T: Adrian McGuinness

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.

Six-time winner is 4-22 on turf; last two wins have come at the Curragh but has run well in defeat over this C&D on more than one occasion; shaped well at Bellewstown on penultimate but needs to bounce back from poor Curragh run latest; 2lb above highest winning mark.

Yet to add to his 6f 2yo win on AW in Britain for Brian Meehan; three recent runs here for current yard have been promising, including when sent off favourite for 7f handicap nine days ago, but this trip looks too short.

Yet to add to his 6f 2yo win on AW in Britain for Brian Meehan; solid level of form here of late, most recently staying on for second behind all-the-way winner Sporting Hero over this trip last month from a wide draw; 4lb better off with rival here, major chance.

Four-time AW winner, most recently in first-time cheekpieces here (7f) last month under 10lb claimer; only fair efforts at 7f-1m since, a short head behind Inishfallen on latest; has never raced at a trip shorter than 7f; blinkers go on.

Four AW wins up to an extended 1m1f, twice over C&D including in January off 74; kept busy since over various trips, most recently best work at finish after a slow start (stalls slow to open) when beaten 1.5l over 6f; return to 7f to suit and okay mark so one to consider.

Six-time AW winner remains a maiden on turf (0-22); has placed over C&D (good) off 3lb higher and shaped better than the bare result at the Curragh latest so not dismissed from an each-way perspective.
