9st 7lb |
Heavily-raced gelding; gained a tenth career win at Dundalk in April and seems to be holding his form well; 3l second at the Curragh and a fair fifth at Bellewstown 13 days ago; 0-11 record at this venue is a negative, placed three times. |

A 9yo with ten wins on the board and arrives here in good form, last time overcoming a slow start to finish second at the Curragh (7f); won't mind returning to further and he's firmly in the mix. |

Heavily-raced gelding recorded a seventh AW win recently; turf record is less persuasive (3-71), though some encouragement can be taken from last month's third of 20 at Leopardstown. |

Hold-up performer by necessity, really, as he can be tardy from the gates; C&D winner and just failed to get up here in April; only 1lb higher now and if they go hard, it will be a big help. |

Won a Cork 1m handicap last season off 40 (good) and added an AW win in September; went close off 2lb higher at Dundalk in April; subsequent two turf runs have been disappointing and his record of 1-21 on this surface is concerning. |

Maiden not beaten far a few times here earlier in the year, over trips between 6f-1m; likely to find a few too strong but minor place claims. |

Maiden after 15 starts; placed only twice, including on latest when never-nearer third of 12 here (7f) 13 days ago; each-way player if he sees out the extra furlong from unchanged mark. |

Third runner for local yard; four-time winner; last turf win in 2023 over 8.5f at Galway (soft); two AW wins since; hard to fancy on this year's form but has placed multiple times over C&D, including when runner-up at this festival last year from a stone higher; can't dismiss. |

Strike rate of 1-32 on turf; sole success came on heavy ground over 7f at Naas in 2024; fair form at a modest level lately, needs to raise his game in new headgear combination; third reserve. |

Hasn't won since 2023 and was struggling for form but took a step in the right direction when not far behind a couple of these at Navan last time; best form on easy ground, however, so could do with some rain. |

Weak maiden form; big price when failing to make any impression at the Curragh on handicap debut; tailed off on AW debut in November but was drawn wide on first try at 10.5f; returns from break with Colin Keane booked so market must be monitored; cheekpieces. |

By far the best of three maiden runs came over 1m at Navan last time; of interest on handicap debut if supported in the market. |
