8st 13lb |
Has been in the form of his life this season; won over 6f here on seasonal return and bagged another victory in a C&D premier handicap in June despite being 3lb out of the weights; didn't quite see out the 6.5f trip of the Scurry handicap here last month, but it was still a blinding run to finish third; went too quick at Cork last time; definite chance. |

Has been in the form of his life this season, winning the Rockingham handicap despite being 3lb out of the weights; ran a belter from the front in the Scurry handicap last weekend but didn't see out that longer trip; solid chance off the same mark if bouncing out of that race. |

Progressive and consistent sprinter until latest run at the Curragh; 6f looks his optimum; placed effort over 7f on AW doesn't mean he's sure to get up the hill here. |

Both wins have come at this track but over 6f/7f; this season's form linked to Genesis and Headmaster puts her in the mix, although several others would seem to have marginally stronger claims. |

Just one win to his name, but has been second three times in five runs here; drops in grade after contesting premier handicaps at the Curragh (excuse two runs back) this season; drawn widest which is probably a slight negative, but it's all on the day as to which side they go at Naas; only 1lb higher than his winning mark. |

Four-time winner was only beaten a short head by Ipanema Queen at Cork last time (5f, good to firm); nudged up 1lb but more concerning is that his runs at this track this term have been moderate; capable if things fall right though. |

Sole win in 20 starts came in Cork maiden in October 2024, but has been in excellent form this year in sprints, including runner-up efforts in Listed company over C&D (behind Mission Central) and Cork; never involved here 12 days ago, but type to bounce back and enjoys this track; the one to beat. |

Sole win in 19 starts came in Cork maiden but has strung together a series of good efforts in decent sprint company this season, notably seconds in Listed events both here and at Cork, most recently third in conditions event here early in the month; best form at 5f so possibly vulnerable at this longer trip. |
