Useful performer in France, 8-43; latest win at Deauville on the AW in December 2024 over an extened 1m1f; placed in Listed 1m2f race in March last year, third beaten 0.75l; last seen 234 days ago finishing fifth in claimer; acts on soft; first start for Tony Martin off top-weight in competitive handicap; market clues will be interesting.
Latest win on AW over 7f at Chantilly in October; 4-11 in France; not beaten far into 11th in Listed race at Deauville 152 days ago; acts on soft; changed hands for 22,000euros in November; first start for Ger O'Leary.
Sole win came on debut at Dundalk in March 2024; 0-11 since but some cracking runs in top handicaps last season, including fifth in Irish Lincoln, third in Victoria Cup at Ascot and second in Ahonoora at Galway; finished off last season with below-par run over 6f but step back up to 1m promises to suit; acts on all ground; a big pot should come his way at some point.
Consistent handicapper last season; last win came at Galway festival over 1m on soft in July; good effort over C&D when short head second in Irish Cambridgeshire in August; acts on all ground; last two hurdle runs of limited significance and should be fitter than most after them.
Pulled 12l clear with next-time-out winner when landing a Killarney maiden in July; excuses next time out and landed an extended 1m1f handicap at Clonmel in good style on latest start 204 days ago; up 7lb but progressive in handicaps and should enjoy conditions; leading player.
Very progressive in handicaps last season, two of his three wins coming here over 7f on ground with an ease; latest came in September when beating subsequent winner Tokenomics by 0.75l; may have hit his ceiling judged on return effort in Irish Lincoln (finished 14th) but could easily step forward for that.
Looked potentially smart when landing C&D maiden in November 2024; didn't reach heights expected in four starts in Group, conditions and handicap company last season but had a couple of good runs over hurdles in recent months; acts on soft and big-field handicap could be right up his street.
Proved frustrating for much of last season, beaten favourite in three maidens; off the mark at Dundalk in October, beating Ribble Emperor by 3l over a mile; good effort when 1.5l third in conditions race on AW 105 days ago; on an okay mark but soft ground a concern.
Dual C&D winner who has proved very progressive in last 18 months; started winning a handicap at this track off 60 in October before winning impressively at Galway under a penalty six days later and second over C&D week after; benefitted from return run when scoring here six days ago, beating Electric Beauty by a neck; 7lb higher mark but race-fit and should go well.
Four-time winner in Poland and placed in German Group 1 and Italian Group 2 in 2024; not fired since joining current yard in six starts; down 20lb from rating when first arrived in Ireland but he needs to show more off a 249-day break.
Seven-time winner, last win at Dundalk in February 2024 off 3lb higher; some good efforts last year, primarily on the AW; last seen finishing fourth, beaten 4l by California Dreamer on the AW 28 days ago; probably not particularly well treated.
Three-time winner on the AW who was out of form on turf last season; enjoyed a revival at Dundalk in recent months and proved as effective on turf when 0.5l second to Independent Expert on soft ground at Naas 12 days ago; step up to a mile suits and usually races off the pace.
Eight-time winner, sixth turf win last time when beating Quatre Bras by 0.5l at Naas over 7f 12 days ago on second start for new stable; needs to build on that off 4lb higher but could do; acts on all ground but wouldn't want it too soft over a mile.
Landed a mile maiden at Dundalk on debut impressively in January 2024, beating Lady Pimsoll by 2.75l; form worked out okay and gelded since; off a long time and soft ground an unknown; tough ask off opening mark of 84.
Five wins for Johnny Murtagh, including handicap on Irish Derby day over C&D in July 2023 off 4lb higher; not shown enough in two starts for new outfit to suggest he's well handicapped anymore.
7f maiden winner on the AW for Archie Watson who changed hands for 15,000gns before making a very encouraging stable debut when beaten 0.75l in 6f handicap at this track in October on soft before going one better next time over 7f, beating Miss Nifty by 0.5l; raised 7lb for that but unexposed and trip could easily unlock further improvement; off 152 days; enjoys soft ground.
Showed ability when fourth and third in a pair of maidens and improved to win over 1m1f on heavy at Leopardstown 166 days ago, beating Shamrock Flame by a neck; form of that questionable; down in trip on handicap debut; acts on good and heavy; yard won this last year.
Improver in handicaps last season, landed C&D handicap off 6lb lower on final start, beating Great Mover by a head; never involved on return in Irish Lincoln 19 days ago but should come on for that.
Off the mark with easy win in Killarney maiden in October; string of solid efforts in maidens prior to that; beaten 7.75l into sixth over C&D in competitive handicap 152 days ago, shaping better due to traffic problems and being forced wide; interesting each-way contender.
Landed first two starts for Paddy Twomey in 2024 at Killarney and Cork over a mile; well-held eighth in Group 3 over 7f on last run; off 697 days and best watched on handicap debut for new yard.
Five-time winner, two on turf, both over a mile on good; in good form on the AW lately, won 1m4f handicap at Dundalk in February; 0.75l second to Unterberg 14 days ago on AW; needs a good pace to aim at and trip a bit sharp; soft ground would be a concern.
