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.

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.

2-5 for new stable this year; gained the wins on heavy and good to soft ground but coped perfectly well with good ground when close third at Kelso (2m5f; first-time tongue-tie) last month; hood (worn for three of her last four races) is discarded; likely contender again.

Won when the hood went back on at Newcastle (2m4f, heavy) in January and followed up at Southwell (2m4f, good to soft); disappointing at Carlisle (2m3f, soft) last time but she was missing the hood, which returns today along with a first-time tongue-tie; could have a part to play.

Best effort in three starts last year when second over 1m at Killarney on soft; didn't quite match that at Bellewstown on return over the same trip but not a bad run; there is stamina in his pedigree and could improve for this longer trip.
