Usually races prominently; won four of his six starts for new yard this year, including when returned to turf for eight-runner race at Musselburgh (2m, good) in April; has excuses for the two defeats, on latest occasion fifth of 17 in the 2m2f Chester Plate despite the work he had to do to front-run from wide draw; one to note.

J: Mikey Sheehy

Seen mostly over jumps in his Irish days; getting hampered at the start prevented his usual prominent ride on penultimate outing but he's otherwise swept all before him for new yard this year, including when returned to turf for eight-runner race at Musselburgh (2m, good) 12 days ago; has 3lb penalty (the same as he's due to go up anyway) but wide draw is the chief worry.

Seen mostly over jumps in his Irish days; 3-3 on AW (1m6f/2m) last month upon joining this stable, before a lesser show three weeks ago when getting hampered at the start prevented his usual tactics; not ruled out on return to turf.

Record of 1-19 over timber; three-time winner on the Flat has placed in two starts in that sphere since falling over hurdles at Leopardstown in March; recent form suggests she's fit and healthy but poor strike rate over hurdles is off-putting.

Had three seasons with Andrew Balding, including three wins, and has been with this yard since July 2023, including for two wins (one over hurdles) and plenty of place returns; third over 1m4f in her only two Flat runs in the last 13 months, including under Patrick McGettigan 17 days ago, and her very solid Flat record for this trainer suggests she will be on the premises.

Scored twice (1m6f/2m) for Darryll Holland last August and made an encouraging start for his new yard when third to St Faz on Lingfield AW five weeks ago; the first of those wins was impressive over 1m6f on good to firm and he's one to consider despite today's 15lb higher mark.

Plentiful form at Musselburgh with three C&D wins, including last August for his only Flat win last year (4lb higher today); never dangerous when 50-1 for reappearance here two weeks ago but showed promise from out the back and could be a lot more potent this time.

Runaway winner of four-runner novice at Catterick (upped to 1m4f, good to firm) last August; had wind surgery in November and a clearcut win when favourite for seven-runner handicap at Newcastle (1m4f, AW) five weeks ago; should stay and 6lb rise doesn't look harsh; well related and could easily have more to offer, so the hat-trick beckons.

Two runs last year and built upon that promise to win Hamilton maiden (1m3f, good to firm) in May; comfortably followed up in handicap there (1m5f, good) last month; that was in a small field against older horses but the runner-up was a winner either side of that outing and this fellow did it readily; could have more to offer and he's not discounted up 5lb.
