He Who Dares
Soundly beaten at big odds in handicap hurdles at this venue (11th of 12 finishers) and Sligo (last of 16) before showing dramatic improvement to win at Wexford last Friday; trainer suggested that the removal of a hood might have been a major factor; hard to find any positives in last season's form in Flat maidens; good Flat pedigree, unwise to discount.

Cala Gracioneta
Well held in AW handicaps; improved in first-time hood on turf return in late May when chasing home hot favourite Ballyadam over this trip at Listowel (good); moderate run over 1m4f at Bellewstown last week; return to longer trip should help.

You Make Me Smile
Four wins last year, two on the Flat, two over hurdles; placed twice on the Flat this season, beaten 7l when favourite for a 1m6f handicap at Sligo in May; good run when second in a mares' handicap hurdle at Downpatrick last month, well clear of the remainder.

Takarengo
Three-time Flat winner; last success was in 2021; hard to take any encouragement from his Flat/hurdles form this year.

Captain Hanley
Runner-up in maiden hurdles at Clonmel in May and Punchestown last month; failed to match that form at Wexford last Friday; interesting that he makes a quick reappearance with Colin Keane booked; turf Flat form is modest but not without a chance if reproducing last winter's best AW form.

Synchronize
Maiden gelding by Frankel; started his career with the Gosdens; has shown potential for a belated breakthrough in his two most recent races; recovered from interference at the start to finish fourth over this trip at Down Royal in May; leading contender based on his second to solid yardstick Jurality over 1m5f at Navan; same good 7lb claimer aboard now.
