Comment: One of two for yard; Wootton Bassett colt ran okay on debut at Gowran (1m, heavy) where the trip possibly stretched him; drops back to 7f and rider arrangements suggest he is the stable's main hope today.

Comment: Mehmas colt was sent off at 20-1 on debut at Naas (7f, yld-sft) but belied those odds to stay on strongly from an unpromising position for a 1.75l third; ought to improve plenty for that experience and he holds leading form claims.

Comment: Has failed to add to her Fairyhouse 6f maiden debut win last year; out of her depth in Group 3 races over further on last two starts; drop in class and trip should help; first time with this headgear pairing.

Comment: Hasn't really fired since a close fourth over his C&D (heavy) in April 2024 off 88; 12lb lower now but didn't build on mildly promising Clonmel fourth over 1m2f here on latest, though that was a hot race; well-treated but revival needed.

Comment: Won over 6f on heavy in Britain and added a Roscommon handicap in May (extended 7f); rediscovered some form when fourth there a month ago; probably vulnerable.

Comment: Showed enough in 7f/1m maidens to warrant a market check on this handicap debut.

Spanish Princess

Jockey: D W O'Connor Trainer: John C McConnell Age/Wt: 4/9-9 F: 2385 OR: 65

Comment: Thereabouts in her first two maidens (1m) and wasn't disgraced on handicap debut at Galway (7f, soft), beaten only 4l; may have more to give with her being so lightly raced.

Cooley's Mist

Jockey: Seamie Heffernan Trainer: Natalia Lupini Age/Wt: 3/9-5 F: 60747 OR: 64

Comment: The ground was good when fourth of 21 on handicap debut but heavy when well held at Gowran; least effective run in maidens also came on soft, so conditions are a concern.

Cannonball Queen

Jockey: Killian Leonard Trainer: S M Duffy Age/Wt: 3/9-3 F: 800 OR: 62

Comment: Beaten just over 5l in a 7f maiden here on debut but hasn't built on that at all; would need to see money around on handicap debut.
