8st 7lb |
Five-time winner, two on turf, both over a mile on good; in good form on the AW lately, won 1m4f handicap at Dundalk in February; 0.75l second to Unterberg 14 days ago on AW; needs a good pace to aim at and trip a bit sharp; soft ground would be a concern. |

Scored his third course win and his first over this trip when a neck too good for today's rival Benavente last month; had reached the first three in six consecutive races before last week's fourth of nine in a race in which Beauparc beat Voice Of Reason |

Dual course winner over 10.5f but stays much further; runner-up in 7f/10.5f claimers for Denis Hogan before good fourth in 7f handicap last week on stable debut; should relish the step up in distance. |

Two-time 10.5f course winner has been a runner-up in two recent claimers, inc' over C&D last time; back in a handicap now for stable debut; his ideal trip is probably over further but in the mix. |

9st 7lb |
Dual winner on the AW at 10.5f-1m4f in February/March; put a poor Bellewstown run behind him when taking the runner-up spot at Leopardstown (1m1f, yielding to soft) last time; unproven at this trip. |

Progressing well on AW for current yard, recording a second win at Dundalk last month off 61 before solid third there next time; couldn't transfer that form to turf at Bellewstown last time when tailed off (1m4f, soft); perhaps better ground can suit more, but likelihood is that he's better on AW. |

Four-time winner for Ed Dunlop (three on AW); won four-runner 1m2f Brighton handicap last July; best run for this yard so far when a dead-heating third of nine with Star Mind over the extended 1m2f here last Friday; this trip is possibly a bit shorter than ideal. |
