Five AW wins and two turf wins have been at Navan over 5f; last year's highlight was fine third in Rockingham here; absent since October and may just need this.

Capable of smart form on his day but hasn't won since August 2022 and two runs so far this season leave him with a fair bit to find despite reduced mark; visor back on.

Finished last season in excellent form with C&D win in the Bold Lad off 91 and good second in Navan Listed; probably needed last month's Naas comeback run, more expected of here and rider's claim a positive.

Three wins include twice over C&D last October; promising C&D comeback second in March, stiffer task in Listed company last time; one to consider back in handicap company, especially given his record here.

Both wins have come here, notably minor conditions event (7f, heavy) last November; first run since when fourth of 5 in good-class Gowran conditions event last month; yard going well but 6f on decent ground may prove on the lively side.

Took his mark to a career-high when winning seasonal return here in March over 5f (soft-to-heavy) off 87; stiff task and ran as well as could be expected in good-class Naas Listed following month; has form at 6f/7f so respected back in handicap company.

Smart turf form at up to 7f in Bahrain for George Scott early last year; standout runs for current yard this year when second to Sir Les Patterson on the AW and latest when close fourth of 13 at Chester early this month, extended 7f looking to stretch him; return to stiff 6f could suit.

Better than ever last summer, winning at Cork and career-best when second in Scurry Handicap here over extended 6f; bit keen and not quite at same level in Listed at Galway festival when last seen; may just need this comeback run.

Improved on the AW last winter with two wins at this trip (beat City House second occasion); turf return came at Newmarket early this month, showing plenty of pace until weakening final furlong in finishing creditable fourth in very valuable contest; remains on a handy mark compared to AW so has to be respected.

Ended last season with C&D win and repeated the feat on seasonal return in March off 9lb higher; career-best when upped to 7f at Cork early this month when a clear second (beaten a neck) to an improver on favoured soft ground; still-improving 4yo would appreciate any softening in the ground.

Two 7f wins in Britain last year for Willie Haggas included final start in Newbury handicap (soft) in first-time tongue-tie; bought for 48,000gns and okay comeback run (tired late on) behind a stablemate at Naas last month for which he is entitled to come on for but has a bit to find with several of these on that run.

Runner-up six times before belatedly opening account in this race last year off 79 (4lb out of handicap); some good runs afterwards in defeat, although well below best final start behind Tango Flare in Bold Lad over C&D; lacks a recent run this time around but Hayes stays loyal.

Rated 108 in his prime so has dropped a long way, but won Scurry Handicap (beating Fort Vega and Back Down Under) here last summer and last month's Naas third (three of today's rivals behind) was a good effort; can't rule out.

Three-time AW winner, whose sole turf win came over 7f at Leopardstown; absent since November but ran well on seasonal return when third in this race last year (to Moltophino) off today's mark; 7lb claim could prove useful.

Both wins have been at this track, including early last season over this trip (soft) and better form when third to Go Athletico in Scurry from out of handicap; reportedly coming into season when disappointing joint-favourite on C&D seasonal return in March, more expected of now.
