9st 10lb |
Eight wins, two of them here; latest success was over 7f at Naas in March and ran well in big-field contest at the Curragh next time; disappointed when odds-on for Gowran claimer last week, but picked up a few grazes and she's better than that. |

9st 2lb |
Three-time AW winner (twice over the extended 1m2f at Dundalk); out of form on turf last season but some good runs this term, second over this trip at Naas and dead-heating for fourth over 1m2f at Leopardstown despite not getting the clearest of runs; down the field behind Final Voyage here nine day ago. |

9st 1lb |
Three-time AW winner (twice at 1m2f); out of form on turf last season but some good runs this term, good second over inadequate 7f at Naas (soft) and nine days ago at Leopardstown when coming late to dead-heat for fourth with Amplitude over this trip, having not had the clearest of runs; better ground here to suit and has to be on the shortlist with rider now claiming 7lb. |

9st 0lb |
Lightly-raced filly; second twice in maidens and made a bright start in handicaps when third of 12 over 7f at Naas in March; something seemingly amiss when favourite here in April, though vet's report revealed nothing; may bounce back now. |

Some good runner-up finishes in maidens and was beaten just 1l at Naas for her handicap debut last month (7f, soft), led before being run down into third late on; runs off the same mark now and Colin Keane takes over; big player. |
4/1 |

Just denied in a 1m Bellewstown soft-ground maiden last October before an ambitious run in a Listed race at this venue; made most of the running on heavy ground at Galway on her final start; perhaps the run can be upgraded since she was reported to have bitten her tongue. |

Three wins last season at 7f-1m on good and soft ground, going up a total of 21lb; proved he remained competitive when fourth on return at Naas (7f, soft); has to bounce back from a below-par effort at Roscommon 13 days ago. |

3rd May 2026 Yielding 0m 7f 0y |
9st 3lb |
Consistent form last season included a Galway maiden win (7f, yielding); sound effort on handicap debut and seasonal return at Naas (7f, soft); did not quite see out the 1m trip when a close-up fourth at Limerick eight days ago; return to 7f could make all the difference. |

Four-time winner whose best form has on soft and heavy at around 7f; got those optimum conditions over C&D last time when third, finishing 1.75l behind Mickey The Steel and 6.5l behind Red Charlie; cheekpieces added to the tongue tie now, but may struggle to reverse form. |
