Coonan Cawley LLP In Support Of McAuley Place Handicap

Sole win in June 2023; in good form on the AW off this mark recently, beaten less than 1l the last twice; best turf form on fast ground and on a dangerous mark based on a 2l second at Windsor off 7lb higher last June; could go well.

Both wins on AW; turf form includes a listed second at York (5f, good) when 1.5l behind Big Evs; both starts for current yard on soft ground; showed a bit more last time and the return to better ground here is a big plus; drops in grade and handicapper giving him a chance; interesting.

1m AW winner saw off Reposado by 2.25l at the Curragh (6f, soft) on latest and the runner up ran with credit off 4lb higher back there last weekend; however, she'll need a big career best off this mark and quick ground is a concern.

Six-time AW winner is 3-33 on turf; hasn't won on grass since a 6f success at Cork (good) in June 2023; went close at Dundalk on latest (6f) and has gone well over this C&D before; place shout.

Prolific AW performer gained a first turf success in emphatic fashion at Navan on latest (5f, gd-yld) under this rider, making virtually all for a 2.25l win; this longer trip fine but raised 10lb and this is a tougher race.
