J: Silvestre De Sousa

T: Tony Carroll

He had been upset in the stalls when unable to justify favouritism on his stable debut in June but made no mistake when making all under Silvestre De Sousa at Ripon (6f, good) four weeks ago; 8lb rise still leaves him well treated on old form and he's of firm interest.

J: Silvestre De Sousa

T: Tony Carroll

He's regressed and is winless since scoring over C&D in July 2024; only fourth of six on stable debut at Chepstow (5f, good to firm) three weeks ago but he was the 7-4 favourite and got upset in the stalls, and may have needed that run; interesting to see if he's again strong in the betting.

Two wins came over 6f in 2023 and 2024 when trained by Tim Easterby; no joy in four starts for David Loughnane and steps back to 5f on his stable debut; on a career-low mark and market watch is advised.

One of two for yard; sole success came over 6f on heavy ground for former yard; ran okay on heavy here (9.5f) on penultimate but failed to build on that at Naas latest; stamina to prove for this trip.

Not disgraced on soft ground over 7f on debut, and improved on that when an excellent second in a Newmarket maiden last month (6f, good; form sound); looks the one to beat.

Third reserve; in excellent form this season, winning two of his three starts; ran on well to score off 8lb lower at Roscommon latest (7.5f, good); this is a tougher race and he'll need a career best to follow up.
