C&D winner in the winter and has added two wins on turf; likes a bit of space, so draw is okay, but she might be high enough in the handicap now. |

Keeping herself busy; came home strongly under Orla Tynan to win at Roscommon (7.5f, good) but went up 10lb for that and was only midfield at the Curragh, albeit over 6.5f that was probably too sharp; others might be better in. |

Improver this year, all three wins under this rider, most recently over extended 7f at Roscommon last month, coming home strongly after being switched to the outer in straight; hit with a 10lb rise for that however and upped in grade now; not sure the drop in trip will suit. |

Well-bred Godolphin cast-off progressing well in handicaps of late, ready winner over 1m at Gowran and three days later staying on second under hefty weight over today's trip at Ballinrobe; runs off 7lb higher mark here so needs to take another step forward, but possible. |

One of his three wins came over C&D and has often run well in defeat here, too; second to well-treated types at Galway and Dundalk in later months of last year; well supported into 10-3 when third to Kitty Bear at Gowran last month. |

Three-time turf winner and often placed but 0-22 on AW and placed only three times; hard to make a strong case on recent AW form; however, he is so much more effective on turf that a good showing is not out of the question. |

Heavily raced since winning easily for this rider here last October; won again at Dundalk the following month; unplaced on his next six Dundalk starts before hinting at a return to form in two outings at the Curragh; very closely matched with Miss Americana on running here 13 days ago; definite chance. |

Six wins to his name but on a losing run that stretches back to September 2022; not beaten far in two of four visits to Gowran in recent months; Limerick third offered renewed hope, confirmed by a C&D second that gives him a slight edge over William F Browne and Max Meridius. |
