Third reserve; made all (first-time visor) for breakthrough win at Ballinrobe in July, good bit to find on more recent form though.

J: Cieren Fallon

Both AW wins have been at this track, one over today's distance; has shot up the weights since as a result of further success on turf; in good order at present, however, and shouldn't be far away.

T: Tony Carroll

Gained his second success for this yard when winning at Wolverhampton (8.5f, AW) in March and followed up at Bath (1m, good to soft) next time; runner-up in both starts since (1m2f) but this consistent sort still needs to prove he stays this far.

T: Tony Carroll

Most consistent since joining this yard (314323112) and was only beaten half a length by Party Island in his hat-trick bid at Bath (1m2f, firm) last month; despite that latest effort a bit of rain wouldn't come amiss; stable also runs Brodie's Boy.
