[P]
Establishing a pretty good record around at Gowran and didn't need to be at best to resume winning ways in 7-runner claimer there (7f, good to soft) 8 days ago by ½ length from Profit Surge, leading over 1f out. Looks the one to beat again…

Profit Surge (M)
[B1]
Seemed to excel herself dropped into a claimer for the first time when ½-length second of 7 to Gloriously Glam at Gowran (7f, good to soft) 8 days ago. First-time blinkers replace her usual tongue tie.

Mehmar (G)
[TV1]
Not scored since 2024 and has offered little in claimers/handicaps this season, most recently at Dundalk early last month. Hopes pinned on a first-time visor sparking a revival.

[PT]
Almost 3 years without a win but stopped the slide and took a step back in the right direction after 3 months off when third of 14 in handicap at Sligo (6.3f, good to soft) earlier in the month. Needs to back that up returned to claiming c…

Lismacbryan (M)
[P]
Did win a handicap in 2024 but very little to shout about since, shaping as if amiss given how quickly she checked out on her recent Navan return (in cheekpieces). Can only be watched.
