Verdict: NIGHT MOON is surely capable of better than he showed when a beaten favourite at Galway and he could improve plenty for that run and softer ground. The consistent Astelia should run her race again and any market support for I Started A Joke should be noted. The two-time bumper winner I'll Sort That is also considered, but easy ground is a worry for Wholelotofbusiness. [Dave Stephens]

I'll Sort That

Comment: Dual bumper winner after a modest run on debut in a Cork maiden hurdle; off since a 12l second in a Fairyhouse bumper in April; easy ground fine; market should reveal expectations.

Comment: Flat recruit returned from long layoff with a modest effort when a beaten favourite on hurdles debut at the Galway festival (2m1f, good); ground may have been too quick that day so could do better now; hood and tongue tie go on.

Verdict: Willie Mullins' DAVY CROCKETT, an unbeaten son of Annie Power, is a very promising prospect and should be able to maintain his unblemished record.

Comment: Exciting prospect has justified prohibitive odds in a Punchestown bumper (16.5f, gd-yld) on debut and in a Galway Festival novice hurdle (16.5f, good); this will be the softest ground he has encountered but his classy half-brother Mystical Power handled it well; the one to beat.

Verdict: The manner of BEARAMI CREEK's breakthrough success at Navan suggested there was more to come and she may be able to follow up under a 7lb penalty.

Verdict: Eric McNamara has last year's winner Donkey Years in the line-up again, but is more likely to hit the target with BITOFAJOKELIKE (nap), who has a slight edge over Duke Silver on running in a Galway race which has worked out well. Wide-margin Wexford winner Tackletommywoowoo has a definite chance despite a big hike in the ratings. Koori Star has run well when fresh and has prospects on last season's handicap form.

3/1

Comment: Left all previous form behind when a 125-1 runner-up over 3m at Cork in April; confirmed promise when justifying favouritism in a 3m1f Tipperary maiden hurdle in May; encouraging handicap debut when close up in third at Killarney; similar effort at Galway; form of that race looks solid (second and fifth have wnn since), may confirm with Duke Silver.

Comment: Won a 3m2f Limerick handicap chase in May for the late Edward O'Grady; pulled up on next two outings (coughing on the first occasion); return to hurdling did the trick when he scored readily on recent stable debut at Ballinrobe; can remain competitive off 7lb higher, with the same talented 7lb claimer up.

Comment: Won a 3m Tipperary maiden early season; stayed well when second over 3m1f at Navan last December; well beaten on last two runs last term; lacks the advantage of a recent outing.

Comment: Three wins over hurdles; placed in six consecutive attempts over fences between May 2024 and March 2025; fine second in Listed novice handicap chase at Navan in March; had a possible excuse (skin scrapes) when beaten favourite at Kilbeggan in June; trip-versatile.

Comment: Stepped up from his debut with a fine second over an extended 2m4f at this venue in May; again showed promise at Galway when the 2m1f trip looked inadequate; much less experienced than his rivals, but not without a chance if seeing out the trip.

Verdict: An early casualty when one of the main fancies for the Galway Plate, ANYWAY has the potential to land a big pot judged on his second placing in a novice handicap at last season's Cheltenham Festival. Long-priced Galway Plate third Shecouldbeanything may uphold form with Sea Music, Three Card Brag and Thecompanysergeant. Paul Townend rides You Oughta Know, but stablemate Spanish Harlem arguably has stronger credentials. French Dynamite has considerable experience in strong company and could surprise on his stable debut. [Alan Sweetman]

9/2

Comment: Two bumper wins in 2023, maiden hurdle scorer last year; has picked up more experience since beaten by today's rival Anyway over 2m4f at Kilbeggan in June; hacked up at Wexford last month; hard to evaluate the form; however, riding plans point to a leading chance.

Verdict: This revolves around Zenta. She is undoubtedly the most talented mare in the race but given that she has been pulled up in two of her last three starts, she might be worth taking on. The one that appeals most is ENJOY THE DREAM who gained a confidence-boosting win at Tramore last time. Me Wee Bonnie Lass and Mystical Goddess could prove to be the main dangers. [Dave Stephens]

Verdict: Six point-to-point winners here, and three others have finished second in that sphere, including Poetic Glory who was well fancied on his bumper debut at Galway. He failed to shine and ended up in tenth place but could now pose a serious threat to APACHE TRIBE, fifth in that race, confirming the promise of a point win in February. Debut point winner Ring Of Kerry may improve from his Galway run. Mickey Hulie is another to consider. [Alan Sweetman]
