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

SR 69 suggests ability but 16/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.
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.

SR 74 suggests ability but 11/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.
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.

SR 82 suggests ability but 9/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.
Both wins last year came on soft and heavy ground; ran well on heavy at the Curragh on penultimate but wasn't as good on yielding at Limerick latest; needs rain.

SR 82 suggests ability but 8/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.
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.

Veteran loves it here; has won eleven times, including three over C&D, most recently off this mark last September; poor both runs this season, however, and not well drawn here.

SR 67 suggests ability but 14/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.
Won a Curragh handicap (7f, good) last season off 8lb lower and added a Dundalk handicap (1m) in February; off since a below par AW run in March; career best needed off this mark.

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.

SR 86 suggests ability but 5/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.
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.

Dual-purpose; four Flat wins but last of those came in 2023; not a terrible effort on latest and now 2lb below his last success but the draw gods have not been kind here.

Three-time winner but losing run stretches back to July 2023; no signs of making a return to the winner's enclosure in four starts for this yard; top rider booked but others in better form.

SR 69 suggests ability but 16/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.
Two wins in 2025 included a claiming maiden over C&D (good); added a Naas handicap in August by a nose (7f, good); just 2lb higher here and should be sharper for seasonal return; not dismissed.

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.

SR 83 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.
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.
