Won this last year from 1 lb lower and has refound a bit of form on late, making the frame for the second start in a row when third of 16 in handicap at Navan (1m, good, 4/1) 14 days ago. Leading player.

Still a maiden but he arrives in good form, runner-up at Gowran last month before posting another creditable effort to finish fifth of 16 there (1m) 15 days ago. Respected again going back up in trip. Engaged Punchestown 5.13 Tuesday.

Dual winner this season and showed form at least as good when runner-up at Navan last month. Caught further back than ideal after a typically slow start when sixth of 21 in handicap there (1¼m, good, 9/2) 11 days ago but is worth treating as if still in good form.

Yet to show much for this yard but stopped the slide to some degree when seventh of 22 in handicap at Leopardstown (9f, good to firm) 41 days ago. Others still make more appeal.

Yet to fire this season, albeit not ideally placed when 11¾ lengths eighth of 15 to Reponse Finale in handicap at Gowran (9.5f, good to firm, 28/1) 35 days ago.

Relatively lightly-raced 4-y-o maiden. Best effort when 4 lengths third at Ballinrobe (13f) in late-June. Hasn't been seen to best effect from a long way off the pace on her last 2 outings and remains feasibly treated now sporting first-time cheekpieces.

Improved when fifth at Dundalk on qualifying run in November 2024 but failed to make an impact in a handicap there 2 months later. Returns from 20-month absence (left Shane Crawley) in first-time tongue strap/cheekpieces.

Winless since 2023 and no sign from his recent efforts that is about to change.

Sole success came at Navan (1¾m) last year. Might've needed the outing after a 4-month break when bidding to win that race for the second year running 3 weeks ago. Others make more appeal.

On a 64-race losing run and though he stopped the slide to some extent when coming from a long way back to finish fourth of 9 in claimer (150/1) at Ballinrobe (9.6f, good) 58 days ago, he's likely opposable back in a handicap.

Won 6f handicap at Cork last summer and not beaten far in refitted cheekpieces when bidding for a repeat in same race back there 7 weeks ago. Far from certain to back that up over this longer trip. Also reserve at Punchestown 5.13 Tuesday.

Well held in 3 qualifying runs for other trainers and looked as if he'd be sharper for the outing returning from 11-month break when seventh of 16 on handicap debut (8/1) at Navan (1m, good) 14 days ago.

No better than modest form in 4 starts for M. C. Grassick and finished down the field at Down Royal on yard debut in May. Others preferred after another 110 days off.
