Third reserve; 0-14 but produced one of her better runs when a 3l third of 15 at Limerick on latest; dropped 1lb and nicely drawn if she gets a run; place shout.

SR 79 suggests ability but 14/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Only two wins from 40 starts, but placed 16 times; last won at the Curragh (6f, heavy) in April 2024 off 3lb lower; generally below best last year apart from Listowel fourth and Currgah second in the autumn; has a preference for soft/heavy

Second runner for the yard and stays better than Clonmacash, two wins last year coming at 1m, including claimer here; best of three runs this term came over C&D last month when fourth in decent fillies handicap; trip/ground to suit, definite contender.

Won twice last season, both at Leopardstown over 7f on good and soft; remains 9lb above her last win and she ran poorly on her seasonal return last month; yard form a plus.

SR 64 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at 18/1.

Won 6f Navan maiden on final start for Noel Meade last October; pleasing start for this yard when fifth at Leopardstown (7f, yld-sft) last month; dropped 1lb but this trip might stretch him.

Won at Punchestown last year (1m, gd-yld) off 7lb lower; fine effort on seasonal return off this mark when not beaten far at the Curragh (7f, soft); sharper for that and nicely drawn here; interesting.

SR 87 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.

Back-to-back wins at Leopardstown last August (both 7f, good); held off 4lb lower by Sun Soldier at Punchestown in September; lacks a run and record fresh suggests she might need this.

Led, was headed, but then rallied for a 0.5l third of 16 at Limerick (1m, yielding); 1-24 strike rate is not a great return but has placed on many occasions; should go well again off 1lb higher, but this ground may not suit.

No win since June 2024; stand-out effort last year a fine second in a premier fillies' handicap at Leopardstown (1m, gd-yld); 1lb lower here but hard to fancy on this season's efforts.

Notched up three wins last season at 7f-1m on good and soft ground, going up a total of 21lb; proved he could be competitive off current mark on seasonal return at Naas (7f, soft); fitter now and in the mix.

Two wins last year included this race off a mark of 80 when trained by Stephen Thorne; 8lb lower now, talented claimer takes off another 5lb and gets his favoured good ground for the first time this year; drawn wide but dangerous to dismiss.

SR 66 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at 18/1.
