A small field but a competitive race. The last time out winners Hightimeyouwon and Dark Viper are respected but the now gelded EDDIE G (nap) endured a luckless passage on his seasonal return at Roscommon and he may be able to gain compensation here off the same mark. Course winner Bucaneer's Spirt is not discounted back at this venue. [Dave Stephens]

Ten time winner is 5-36 on turf, including two wins on the straight 7f course at this track; has won three of his last four on the AW at 7f-10.5f (a handicap and two claimers) and rated 12lb higher on that surface; has been freshened up and holds claims off lower turf mark.
Two-time AW winner is 0-10 on turf; denied a clear run when a 1.75l third of 14 on his seasonal reappearance in first-time tongue tie (retained) at Roscommon (7.5f, good) and has been gelded since; big player here off the same mark.
2-8 on turf; won a pair of 1m handicaps last season, including one here off 65 in August; overcame a 13lb higher mark at Navan the following month; quiet so far in 2025 but is now just 1lb higher than his last win and didn't get the smoothest of passages at Roscommon latest; can't discount.
Off the mark at the nineteenth attempt on the Flat at Leopardstown (1m, good) in late March; that will have boosted his confidence and he should go well again off 5lb higher, though the drop back to 7f is a slight concern.
Lightly raced 4yo; won on debut at Naas (6f, soft-heavy) in March 2023 for Sheila Lavery; winless since and saw the track just twice last season, including an 11l defeat on handicap debut at the Curragh (6f, soft - 6lb lower now); bought for just 9,000gns in March and best watched on yard debut.
Two time AW winner was in fine form on that surface in December-January, winning two of her three starts at 1m; ran poorly sole start on turf and is 7lb higher than when winning by a short head at Dundalk when last seen in late January; off since and may need this run.
