I Bid You Ajou
Three-time winner has been running well this season but yet to get his head in front; all his victories have come over 6f at Fairyhouse; another solid display at that venue two weeks ago when second in a seven-runner contest; jockey reported interference.

Ohailbhic
In good form at Dundalk early in the year; third when favourite for a 7f handicap; showed improvement when going up to 1m, recording back-to-back wins; might find this trip inadequate on his first outing after a break.

Bad Boy Rizz
Navan maiden winner last season; placed over C&D and 5f at Cork before fifth of 12 at the Curragh, again over the minimum trip; needs to find a little extra to open his handicap account; this near-6f trip should suit.

Flaming Rib
Seven wins, but none yet in Ireland after five attempts, rated 113 at his peak after finishing second in the 2023 Commonwealth Cup; fourth of nine at Down Royal on last, when running off a career-low mark of 75, drop in trip may help after five 7f runs for this yard.

Soulful Diva
Won a 5f Cork maiden last August (good); out of her depth in a Longchamp Group 3 later that month; fourth in a conditions race at Dundalk in September; should be better for her run at Fairyhouse three weeks ago on first attempt at this trip; signs are that she can stay well enough.

Four Blondes
Only one win from 21 starts; runner-up five times; made an encouraging start to the campaign when fourth of 22 at the Curragh in May; subsequent running at the same venue looked too bad to be true

Ninth Crusade
Breeze-up purchase cost 205,000; justified favouritism on debut at Wolverhampton (6f); failed to build in two subsequent outings in Britain, including when highly tried in a Group 3 event at Kempton; runner-up on the second of two Dundalk nursery outings; could be well primed for return.

Gotta Catch'em All
Six-time runner-up; finally got a winning turn at Navan 11 days ago, wearing blinkers for the first time on his 26th outing; 6lb higher, fair chance if the blinkers do the trick again.

Mint Man
Won over C&D last summer and fair fourth over 5f here three weeks ago; confidence dented by his last two outings at Listowel and Navan.

All Hail
Dropped away quickly on handicap/seasonal debut at Fairyhouse in May; close-up Navan fourth last time was reassuring and more in keeping with a 3l second in a maiden at the same venue on his third and final start at two.

Unidos
Lost his chance at the start on handicap debut at Fairyhouse; shaped with some promise on second attempt, running on into fifth in the final furlong of a 7f contest; might not be ideal dropping back in trip now.
