Went close in a 6f Group 3 here last season and stepped up on his return when 2 lengths fourth of 15 to Mission Central in listed race at Naas (5f, good), Off another 160 days since but he's a player at this level if fully tuned up.

Runner-up in a 1m Group 2 here in May (66/1) and ran to a similar level when filling the same position in a listed event at Killarney in August. Out of her depth in the Matron Stakes last time but should prove competitive back in this grade.

Improving sort who got off the mark at the third time of asking in a 1m Curragh maiden in June. Has since completed the hat-trick with a pair of stylish handicap wins over that trip at Leoparstown and this course. Drop to 7f certain to suit given strong-travelling style and he can improve again.

Won 14-runner maiden at Galway (7f, good to soft) in July and before a respectable sixth of 11 to Suzie Songs in listed race at Cork the following month. Resumed progress with a fast-finishing third of 17 in handicap at Leopardstown (7f) 22 days ago and he looks worth his place at this level.

Narrow winner of a listed race at Naas in May but hasn't been able to land a serious blow in Group 3 company on her last 3 outings and this looks a good race for the level.

Dual winner in August last year, including a Tipperary Group 3. All the better for return when second at the Curragh (1m) in April but below par more recently and others remain more persuasive.

Siyouni colt was much improved from his debut when landing 13-runner maiden over C&D (heavy) in March. Not ideally placed on the wing but improved after a 6-month break when fourth of 9 in a C&D minor event last week. Can improve further but this is a much tougher ask.

Looked on the up when doubling his tally in 6f handicap at Listowel in May and resumed his progress after a 3-month break when a good second of 9 in minor event (14/1) at this C&D (good to soft) 8 days ago. Hood worn there is retained but will likely need more again to land a blow here.

Dual 6f winner here, the latest in March. Stepped up on his return from a 4-month break when fourth of 10 in handicap at this C&D (good to soft) 8 days ago but likely needs more again to make the breakthrough at this level.
