Best run this season was in a C&D handicap in May; not beaten far in a Roscommon handicap last month; local stable's runners are always well primed for this meeting; no surprise should he run well, despite never having won on grass. |

Three-time winner (including C&D) but not for over two years; no real sign of a return to form earlier this summer and on recent comeback run here (too keen); may come on for that run and now 28lb below last winning mark. |

Three-time winner; below par last year; faded in a 1m contest at this event on her first run of the season; more like it when fourth at Listowel ten days ago; now reunited with the champion jockey who won twice on her in 2024; worth considering. |

Sole win from 23 starts came at Listowel last summer (7f, good) off 40; return to form of late, most recently when (favourite) closing late on all-the-way winner over this trip at Gowran in late July; solid claims. |

Sole win from 22 starts came at Listowel last summer (off 40); fair sixth at the same venue in May on seasonal debut; perhaps unlucky not to finish closer when 5l sixth of 13 at Killarney ten days ago, had to be wait to get a clear run. |

6-46 on turf; losing run stretches back to October 2024; poor form on AW last winter; shaped reasonably well at Listowel on first run for this stable; ran to roughly the same standard at Limerick; stablemate She's On The Ball is more appealing. |

Last turf win came at Naas nearly two years ago (off 63); standout run this term when C&D third (neck off second-placed Jasmine Affanalis) in May, most recently didn't seem to get home at Bellewstown; Colin Keane booking takes the eye. |

Last turf win came at Naas in August 2024 (7f, good); signs he could capitalise on sliding mark when close third at Killarney (1m, good) in May but disappointing favourite at Listowel next time; failed to see out 1m1f on soft at Leopardstown on latest but definite player at his best. |

Five career wins, the last two coming at Listowel; has plenty to find with Pete's Dream and Draoicht on running at Killarney; however, his recent Gowran second suggests he could go close; lack of consistency is a worry; drawn high too, but rider is capable of coping with that potential negative. |

No luck in running in the Listowel event in which Linger For Longer and Zabriskie Point finished in front of him; had previously shown improved form to beat Methgal narrowly at Leopardstown, with Zabriskie Point close up in the third; clear chance on that form. |
