2-34 on turf, last turf win in May 2022; been running fine this year without really threatening to win; placed at Gowran Park (1m, good) two starts ago; well held ten days ago; no obvious reason why he'd warrant support off same mark.

Five-time winner; 2-33 on turf but hasn't won a race of any description since September 2023; decent third over C&D latest, however, and place claims if he can back that up.

Has done a lot of racing since her last win which was in September 2023; fair sixth here on penultimate run, but will need to reverse to reverse form with Staywitherjohnny and Half Nutz; first reserve.

No win since 2023 and best on AW, but ran okay over 1m at Cork last time when beaten a little over 3l in 18-runner contest.
