Took a long time to win a race; scored twice last season and added another win last month in first-time cheekpieces, overcoming a slow start to score over this trip at Naas; had a troubled passage and found 7f a bit sharp at Galway. |

Took a long time to win a race; scored twice last season and added another in first-time cheekpieces last time, overcoming a slow start to score over 1m at Naas; reasonably effective over 7f, up 6lb and has plenty of weight here, though rider's 3lb claim will help a little. |

Maiden who has run his best races at Leopardstown, placed there last August and in June; also fourth in a 22-race won by Nibras Rainbow; stayed on well from off the pace when sixth of 18 over 1m at Naas three weeks ago. |

Four AW wins; 1-20 on turf; failed to make much impact in first two starts for this stable; despite not much luck in running, better when seventh of 15 at Limerick; fifth at Leopardstown a month ago suggests he could be competitive off a career-low mark. |

Off the mark at Ayr in May when landing a 1m1f handicap off 63; some decent runs since, most notably when 1l behind Minaun View in a Ballinrobe claimer in July; finished further behind that rival at Killarney next time and posted a moderate effort in a Naas handicap latest. |

Not easy to win with but often runs well in defeat; is 7lb lower than when winning over C&D in March 2025 but he's becoming difficult to predict; only midfield at Leopardstown on latest; others look more solid. |

Betting Forcast
25/1 Albion Power, 5/1 Givehertilxmas, 8/1 Dinamine, 7/2 Medieval Night, 4/1 Perfect Judgement, 8/1 Land Of The Giants, 14/1 Think About It, 33/1 Bright Dick, 20/1 Micasso, 33/1 Oitentinha, 33/1 Chant dOr, 20/1 Sunday Sovereign, 9/2 Duchess Anne, 14/1 Master Garvey, 66/1 Monzoon
Verdict
A few with chances. Dinamine has a poor run at the Curragh to overcome but has a good 7lb claimer up if returning to form. Medieval Night comes here on the back of a good run at Gowran but might just prefer a longer trip. The drop back in trip might play to the strengths of the front-running Duchess Anne. This could be the opportunity though for PERFECT JUDGEMENT, up 1lb for a return to form at Gowran last time, but on a nice mark overall. [Justin O’Hanlon]
