Comment: Promise in both maiden starts at the Curragh, over 7f (good) on debut last October and over 1m2f (good) on reappearance last month; should strip fitter for that run and she has place claims.

3/1

Comment: Camelot filly was hooded for debut (retained) and outran her odds of 28-1 to finish a 1l second of 13 at Gowran (1m, good); stayed on very well in the closing stages that day so this longer trip should suit; leading claims.

3/1

Comment: An 86 rated filly ran a fine race in the Goffs Million at the Curragh last September (7f, gd-yld); may have needed the run when a beaten 6-4 favourite last month on her return at the Curragh (7f, good); dam won at this trip so there's a decent chance she'll stay; big chance if she does.

11/2

Comment: Wootton Bassett filly was sent off at 12-1 on debut at Leopardstown (1m2f, good) and was beaten 11.5l after showing signs of greenness; given a short break since, blinkers go on and top yard's runners often improve plenty on their second starts; not discounted.

6/1

Comment: Rated 81 after four starts; best effort came on penultimate at Leopardstown over 1m2f (good) when beaten 4l into second; 1m4f may have stretched her at the Curragh latest; the drop back in trip here is a plus but she probably needs more to win.

Comment: Four-time winner for Lucinda Russell including off current mark in his most recent win at Hamilton last May (1m1f, soft); first run for this yard at Gowran was encouraging but he took a step in the wrong direction last time at Leopardstown when 43l behind in last; needs to bouce back.

11/1

Comment: Third reserve; maiden in 23 starts and beaten out of sight last time in a Tipperary claimer (1m1f, yielding to soft); hard to see her being involved.

14/1

Comment: Returned from a break when 11l behind Arcland recently; was a good fourth in a Navan handicap last August off a 5lb higher mark (1m6f, good); she is lightly raced and entitled to improve from her comeback run so can't be completely ruled out.

Tiffany Mae

Jockey: N M Crosse Trainer: Oliver J Power Age/Wt: 4/9-5 F: 600-5 OR: 48

20/1

Comment: The pick of her form is a fourth in a Gowran handicap from a 13lb higher mark in June last year; her runs since then have been poor and she was last seen finishing a 32l ninth of 11 at Clonmel in May; cheeckpieces go on but they need to spark huge improvement.

Comment: First reserve; unsighted in last place behind Arcland most recently at Navan; twice runner-up last season including at this track from 9lb lower mark.; runs this term have not been great and needs more.

30/1

Comment: Absent since poor run at Galway in October 2023; good second at Navan prior to that run (1m6f, soft); most of her best runs have come on soft and has a long layoff to contend with so perhaps best watched.

33/1

Comment: Mixes it on the Flat and over hurdles but has been out of form in both codes since finishing second off 8lb higher at Naas in April; unseated on seasonal return and well behind Jawhary last time at Fairyhouse (1m2f, good).

Comment: Front-runner rated 69 after nine starts on the Flat; beaten 1l off that mark in a 1m4f Roscommon handicap (good) on seasonal reappearance last month; finished second in this race last year behind Magical Zoe; unlikely to get an uncontested lead here but she has place claims.

Comment: Has improved for every run; best effort on latest when narrowly denied in a 10.5f maiden (good) at this venue (Colpe Cross 4.5l behind); not an obvious candidate for this longer trip on breeding but he should go close if he stays.

Comment: Promise in both starts at huge odds last July for Luke Comer at Roscommon (1m4f, good) and at Dundalk (10.5f); leading form claims but lacks a recent run and wears a first-time tongue tie for stable debut; market should reveal expectations.
