9st 13lb |
In good form at Dundalk early in the year; third when favourite for a 7f handicap; showed improvement when going up to 1m, recording back-to-back wins; might find this trip inadequate on his first outing after a break. |

Attracted strong market support on his penultimate run over 7f in February but could only manage third; made amends upped to 1m last time, scoring with a dominant performance; raised 6lb for that win, but he was rated 13lb higher in 2024, so there could be more in him if he continues in good form. |

7f maiden winner at Limerick last season on his sixth and final start for Aidan O'Brien; went close in a 6f handicap at Navan four three starts ago; more recent form is much less encouraging. |

First reserve; only win from 17 starts came on AW; placed seven times, including a pleasing return to form when second in a 7f handicap at Leopardstown on his penultimate start; flattered by proximity to the smart Dancing Saxon last time. |

Won off 4lb lower at Navan last July (6f, good); poor run over 1m when last seen at Dundalk in November and she needed her first run back last season; others appeal more. |

9st 7lb |
7f winner at Gowran at two and a fair fifth in a 7f Listed contest at Fairyhouse, achieving a peak official rating of 90; regressive this term, resulting in a slump to a mark of 79; stable is in flying form; hard to know if he can recapture his best form. |

7f winner at two and fair fifth in a 7f Listed contest at Fairyhouse; this season's form has been uninspiring; perhaps cheekpieces will help his cause; others much preferred, including stablemate Nakamura. |

Gained her second AW win off 72 in February, but just 1-28 on turf; good fourth of 20 over 1m at the Curragh last time; best form over 7f/1m, and just one inconclusive run over this trip here last year; yet to finish in the first three in five visits to this venue. |

Promise on debut at the Curragh last June (7f, good) and again on seasonal return at Gowran (1m, gd-yld); poor on yielding ground upped to 9.5f back there on latest but the drop back to 1m and return to better ground are causes for optimism here. |

8st 12lb |
Won in fine style at Gowran (1m, gd-yld) in May but paid a price for that 4l success, going up 10lb; soundly beaten off revised rating back at Gowran (9.5f, yielding); eased 1lb and the return to 1m is a plus but needs a career best off this mark. |

Improved for switch to handicaps and good ground when second at Roscommon (7.5f) and went one better over 7f here next time; claimer negated his rise for the win at Limerick last time, but soft ground a possible excuse for his poor showing; chance back at this track on this ground. |

6f Windsor novice winner for former yard; three turf runs for this yard have all been at that trip and yet to get closer than 4l to the winner; mark sliding but unproven on this surface, and others make more appeal. |

Won a Windsor maiden (6f, good) for Eve Johnson-Houghton; never involved for this yard at the Curragh (6f, soft to heavy); better effort over C&D (good) in this headgear when not getting a clear run before running on for third; can do better again off 3lb lower. |
