9st 8lb |
Course specialist won this in 2023 and third in last two renewals; lacked a prep outing before his run here on Tuesday where he backpedalled tamely; draw has been kind for one with his run-style, but he's pushing on and looks opposable. |

Completed a four-timer when winning a 7f handicap here in 2022; won the 7f Ahonoora Handicap at the 2023 festival; made it three from six at this venue (also placed three times) when winning this event last year; third in the Ahonoora later that week; absent since last September; stiff task against that background, despite his liking for the track. |

Good record over 6f on straight tracks and on easy ground; was second in C&D nursery at two, but there will probably be stronger finishers up the hill; jockey is one to watch. |

Three wins include twice over C&D last October; promising C&D comeback second in March, stiffer task in Listed company last time; one to consider back in handicap company, especially given his record here. |

Won his 2yo maiden over C&D when based in Ireland; last win was a Meydan Listed race in 2023, but he's kept good company during his losing stretch; remains capable of smart form and might have gone close in a valuable 7f handicap at Galway had he not been caught in a pocket; considered. |

Landed the Victoria Cup over C&D in 2022 and hasn't had the smoothest of passages in two attempts in this contest (finished 11th that year and tenth in 2023); losing run is mounting up, however, and he doesn't look particularly solid on his form for current stable. |

Unexposed and progressive; won well at the Curragh on Derby weekend and fine second to Orandi when favourite here on Tuesday; had a decent run through then, and no real excuses; first time to drop back to 7f, and it's not sure to suit him as well as a mile. |

Eight wins, including three in stakes races; has been regressive this year; down from an official rating of 107 in March to 88; duly took advantage of his reduced mark at Galway this week; carries 7lb penalty; however, not overburdened, and the win may have restored his confidence. |

Was sent off 7-4 for this 12 months ago when finishing a close fourth to Rahmi and is now 4lb lower; Cork winner in June (7f, good; ridden by Colin Keane) and neither Galway race (sixth both times) panned out ideally; he's not without hope. |
