Rapid improver of late, twice runner-up on AW last autumn and has reappeared for back-to-back wins in 1m handicaps at Limerick and when running away late on under today's rider here last month; every chance of staying this extra furlong and could still have more to offer despite 16lb rise for two wins. |

9st 13lb |
Won handicap at Dundalk over 1m in November off 3lb lower; two solid runs on turf when fifth and fourth at the Curragh and Leopardstown; bounced back after below-par effort to score at Limerick (yielding) on Wednesday, keeping on well to beat Mythical Rock by 1.25l; leading claims if backing up quickly. |

Modest form in turf maidens before 40-1 win on AW/handicap debut last August; made a pleasing return when staying on for fifth of 15 over 7f at this venue; every chance now after another solid display when fourth at Leopardstown. |

9st 11lb |
Boasts a fine AW record (four wins) and gained a first turf victory at Fairyhouse (1m2f, good) in May off 60; soft ground may have been his undoing at Leopardstown following month so respected here back on a sound surface although this much longer trip an unknown. |

Boasts a fine AW record (four wins) and gained a first turf victory under this rider at Fairyhouse (1m2f, good) a fortnight ago; must be respected off the back of that but sole run on soft previously was a poor effort and this is a much tougher assignment; 1lb wrong. |

Four AW wins; sole turf win came at this course (7f); didn't count first two starts for this stable but failed to get a clear run late on when seventh of 15 at Limerick (1m) eight days ago (Bucaneer's Spirit third); interesting off career-low mark. |

Four AW wins, sole turf win came at Leopardstown (7f); didn't count on both runs last month for current yard under 7lb claimer but badly hampered by loose horse second occasion; senior rider takes over and don't rule out off career-low mark. |

Two wins in 2024 but has been in the handicapper's grip since; not a bad run at Fairyhouse latest (1m2f, good) but still beaten 8l and didn't look to be crying out for this longer trip; down in grade but others appeal more. |

Three turf wins include one at Fairyhouse (6f) in 2024; high head-carriage proved his undoing when second off his reduced mark at the same venue on Wednesday; had excuses at the same track last week (upset in stalls, not clear run) when well backed in an apprentice handicap won by Monastere. |

Three turf wins include here (6f) in 2024; yet to hit form on turf this year but has taken a 14lb drop in the handicap and excuses here last week (upset in stalls, not clear run) when well-backed in an apprentice handicap; no form at this trip (from few opportunities) but not one to rule out. |
