Form & Verdict
Dual winner at this track over 1m and 18.5f; excellent (career-best) effort in a 1m Listed contest in November when staying on for fourth having raced wide; just 1l behind Instant Appeal here last month over 1m when collared late on and she is now better off with that rival; however, the drop to this trip is not in her favour.

Form & Verdict
Consistent 5yo who appreciated the strong pace when winning over C&D in November; followed that with two good third-placed finishes over 6f before returning to 7f last time when a short head runner-up behind a rival in great form; this is his ideal trip and in good form, however, the conditions of the race are slightly against him.

Running consistently well over 6f/7f on AW this winter and when a close fifth of seven at Lingfield (6f, AW) two months ago it was a tough Class 2; five runs on turf have yielded two wins and this Irish challenger is on the shortlist back down in grade and back on grass.

Without a win since landing two in a row on the Dundalk Polytrack (6f/7f) in late 2024, and below par there in February last time; however, he's produced some positive performances this winter and has edged back down the weights; might not be far away.

Four-time Dundalk winner, most recently over 7f in December 2024 off 94; creditable runs over same trip this winter but below best in first-time cheekpieces in valuable Newcastle handicap on latest; remains high enough in the weights but possibly the pick of the yard's trio of runners.

One of two for trainer; yet to add to his 6f 2yo win on AW in Britain for Brian Meehan; made just his second AW start on stable debut here last month with a positive fifth, keeping on over 6f; there was promise in that run and perhaps this slightly longer trip can help.
