Consistent sort who has yet to win a handicap but again ran well after just 3 days off when second of 9 in handicap at Killarney (14.5f, good) last month. No reason why she won't be bang there again nudged up 1 lb.

Dual Flat winner in France for Francis-Henri Graffard who has shown fair form in juvenile hurdles, fifth in Grade 2 at Fairyhouse (2m, soft) when last seen back in the spring. Worth a second look back in this sphere on just her second handicap start.

Twenty runs since last win in 2022 but turned in best effort of the season when second of 13 at Down Royal (18.6f, good) 12 days ago. Cheekpieces reapplied and fancied to be in the mix again from 2 lb higher.

Well below form in a few starts on Flat this year but more like it back jumping recently with a couple of runner-up efforts, most recently on chasing debut at Downpatrick (19f, good) just over a fortnight ago. Needs to translate that back to the level.

Hasn't stood much racing in recent seasons but confirmed his return to form when 4½ lengths fourth at Curragh (2m) in June, doing best of those ridden positively in a soundly-run race. Probably remained in form at Glorious Goodwood since but likely needs further respite from the assessor.

Fourteen runs since last win in 2025 but couldn't have gone much closer at Leopardstown on penultimate start. Shaped as if still in good form but didn't see his race out faced with a stiffer test of stamina when fourth of 16 at Navan (2m, good) a fortnight ago so he's fancied to be involved.

Ran as well as she ever has in this sphere when neck second at Ballinrobe in June but below that level since. Struggled in Galway Hurdle in late-July but wasn't disgraced back on the level/in a handicap when seventh of 10 at Killarney (14.4f, good) last month. Others more appealing.

Four-time Galway winner who didn't figure in handicap hurdles earlier this year but in a refitted tongue strap, he bounced back to form when third over 17f there early last month. Quickly reverts to the level and no surprise to see him give another good account.

Capitalised on a much-reduced mark at Ballinrobe in July. Has remained in good form on both subsequent starts, shaping as if finding it barely enough of a test when eighth of 21 at Leopardstown (13f, good to firm) 4 days ago. Considered upped in trip.

Responded well to the fitting of cheekpieces earlier in the year but followed a below-par effort with an even worse one when pulled up in Punchestown handicap hurdle when last seen in May. Watching brief advised back on the level for his return (headgear left off).

Proved better than ever to land a gamble at Galway in July 2025. Ran no sort of race in latest renewal of that race and again ran poorly with the headgear discarded at Tramore since. Hood back on but plenty to prove at present.
