Won four for Clive Cox, including the Group 2 Temple Stakes in 2024; first win since came here last month in 5f handicap (first-time blinkers) coming off strong pace to reel in long-time leader late on (Collective Power, Fox In Flight and Valiant Force behind); 5lb higher now but still on an okay mark.

T: Stephen Thorne

Won four for Clive Cox, including the Group 2 Temple Stakes at Haydock in 2024, his last victory; yet to hit those heights for this yard and has been soundly beaten on his last three starts; 0-2 on the AW but did run well here behind Valiant Force in February; blinkers replace cheekpieces worn last time.

All five wins have come on the AW, most recently good third to Dark Ace at Dundalk last month; fair bit to find with some of these on two runs here in premier handicaps, penultimate behind Sondad in Scurry.

All five wins have come on the AW, including twice over C&D last winter; encouraging turf return at Newmarket in May hasn't been built on, cheekpieces tried last time now ditched; back on favoured surface but races off 15lb higher mark.

Five wins at Dundalk at 5f-1m but form has dipped since his win over 5f there in February; beaten 4.75l in a 6f handicap there on latest off 100 (RPR 94); 19lb lower here so dangerous to discount.

Better strike rate on the AW, most recent turf win coming over 5f at Navan last year; generally below best this season, plenty to find with some of these on Scurry form but handicapper giving him a chance.

Prospered after joining this yard, three wins over 5f from six starts at Dundalk; progress stalled when tried over 6f in February and finished last of ten, too bad to be true; much more like it when returning from a break to finish fourth over 5f at the Curragh last month.

3yo filly who has been a sharp improver this summer and probably better at 5f than 6f, over which she was a big fader here 13 days ago; back at 5f, she's handicapped to be competitive from what could be a good draw.

Improving 5f handicapper, winning at Bellewstown and most recently relished quick ground when leading from halfway here last month; withdrawn since at Cork on account of yielding ground so won't want much rain and this stiff 6f a challenge stamina-wise.

Speedy filly has an excellent strike rate over C&D (4-6) including this race last year off 2lb lower; went close behind Howd'yadoit at Navan in May but has failed to fire in three runs since; return to this track offers hope of a revival and cheekpieces are added; bold bid likely from plum draw.
