Admirable sort whose seven wins include twice here over 5f, notably 0.5l defeat of Collective Power in April; arrives here on the back of two good runs over 5f at the Curragh but remains vulnerable at this trip. |

8st 10lb |
Six-time course winner (four at this trip) and has gone close a few times this year, including last month when strong-finishing third (beaten 0.75l) to Kerdos over 5f, having had to be switched; big player now at his more favoured trip. |

Six-time course winner, including twice over C&D, but his last four wins here have come over 6f; however, he did go close off this mark over C&D in May and should get a strong pace to aim at; not out of this. |

8st 7lb |
Won a 7f maiden here last October but hasn't really gone on from that, much the best effort when third behind Cuban Grey here over 5f in May; soon beaten following month at Fairyhouse; back from a break and tough task from 7lb out of handicap. |

Won a 7f Dundalk maiden in good style last October but hasn't really gone on from that, albeit some solid efforts; found 5f too sharp back at Dundalk last time and this trip will suit better; considered down 4lb. |

Nicely improved to score under today's rider at Naas last month (5f, good) off 73; much the better of two runs since on latest when strong-finishing close fourth of 14 over today's trip at the Curragh; cheekpieces now added and 7lb claimer back on so could go well. |

5f Dundalk winner last season; stepped up on previous form when winning at Naas last month (5f, good), third won next time out; didn't run too badly over 5f here last time off his 5lb higher mark when a 2.75l eighth of 18 (5f, good to firm); Foley takes over from 7lb claimer now. |

5f Dundalk winner last season; stepped up on previous turf form when winning at Naas; more on his plate now; worth noting form was boosted by the third when scoring at Leopardstown on Thursday. |

Wins in his turn, albeit five of his six victories have been on AW; below par at Ayr last time, but solid runs in 6f turf handicaps earlier in the summer; this is start number 16 of the year. |

The bulk of his winning has been done on AW but he did win a 5f handicap at the Curragh last August; recent efforts need bettering but he would seem likely to give his running. |

3-8 at Dundalk, 1-10 on turf; fair fifth over C&D before unplaced behind Cuban Grey on AW; this looks too competitive for him. |

Only fifth on soft ground last time but he had previously made it 3-7 here when cosily accounting for Lethimfly in March; only 3lb higher now but his wide draw is worrying. |

Nine-time winner, including twice over C&D; no joy yet this season, going closest on latest when staying on well into second late on behind 0.5l winner Mary Shoelaces over C&D last month on ground on the quick side for him; nice turn around in the weights with that rival, with rider now claiming. |

Seeking an 11th course success, having gained his tenth by a narrow margin over 6f here in April (fine at 5f); only 2lb higher and wouldn't read too much into a no-show at the Curragh last time. |
