Dual AW winner is 0-5 on turf for current trainer this year, not beaten too far on penultimate; handicapper giving him every chance and new headgear combination tried. |

Dual AW winner; dangerously well-handicapped on best form for Marco Botti; signs of revival last two starts; ran better than the bare result on latest when drawn on the wrong side at Naas; eased another 3lb and the drop back to 5f is a plus; go well. |

Eight-time winner on turf including once over C&D; sole success last season in Tipperary rated race (5f, good) when he had Eclairage 1.25l behind in third and weighted to uphold that form; runner up in this last year on seasonal return off 3lb higher; can't discount. |

Useful sprinter who is suited by soft conditions; third in opening two 6f runs this season here (heavy) and at Naas (soft); upped in trip when runner-up over C&D last time; was 4.75l behind winner Red Charlie that day but now 14lb swing at the weights, although he had race-fitness on his side that day. |

Returned from over four years off with some moderate runs last year; however has returned to turf this term in the form of his life, winning back-to-back at Navan (6f, heavy) under Colin Keane and Bellewstown (5f, soft) under a 3lb claimer; rating has risen 14lb but he's still lightly raced and soft conditions will suit. |

Hasn't won for three years and only had two outings last term; fair fourth in race featuring several of these at Navan (6f) in March and kept on well from long way back (missed break) when third over 5f there last weekend; likely to be strong at the finish, but the break will be crucial from gate one. |
