Form & Verdict
Ado McGuiness has been busy at the sales again and picked up this six-time winner in France for E165,000 in April shortly after he landed a Listed contest at Deauville (5.5f, soft) for Andreas Schutz; beat subsequent Group 1 winner Sealiway in Longchamp Group 3 in his 2yo days; one win on good, rest with an ease in the ground, and carries 3lb penalty.

Rated 108 in his prime so has dropped a long way, but won Scurry Handicap (beating Fort Vega and Back Down Under) here last summer and last month's Naas third (three of today's rivals behind) was a good effort; can't rule out.

Bounced back to form from out of the blue to win the Scurry at the Curragh last July; has generally struggled since and well beaten in both starts this season at the Curragh; needs a revival.

Form & Verdict
Progressive handicapper (5f/6f) last term culminating in victory in the Rockingham at the Curragh and has shown solid form in stakes races since; second to Go Bears Go in Phoenix Sprint was fine effort in first Group race; twice no match for Art Power over 6f but no shame in that and surely better for last month's reappearance third behind that horse in the Group 2 Greenlands Stakes; good chance on overall form.

Form & Verdict
Early juvenile was dual winner over 5f, including here; hadn't seemed up to stakes level until fine third to Ladies Church over this trip at Naas, splitting other proven stakes performers Moss Tucker and Mooneista; handicapper was unmoved, rather surprisingly, but chance if improving a bit more on that form and likes top of the ground.
