Wins over 7f at Naas and Galway over the summer and holding his form well, most recently getting to within a neck of front-running Uncle Goalie over same trip at the Curragh; 1m probably stretches him but definite chance of reversing that form here on 2lb better terms. |

0-8 since his winning debut as 2yo for Aidan O'Brien; six starts for this yard and four were Class 2 handicaps but he didn't fare any better in a 1m2f Class 3 at Sandown (40-1) and whether he can take advantage of a small-field Class 4 today has to be in doubt; hooded this season except today. |

Now three wins from 33 starts after last week's 1m1f win, for which she carries a fixed 7lb penalty; that success was achieved from a mark 19lb below her career-high mark, so she could remain highly competitive in this grade; a talented 5lb claimer aboard, while last Thursday's rider Robbie Colgan is on the stable's African Affair. |

Only two wins from 33 starts; has occasionally run well in good company, notably when second in a premier handicap at last year's Irish Champions meeting at Leopardstown; down the field in the same race this season; now 19lb below her career-high mark, might not be a lost cause. |

Back in trip KORTEZ BAY can get off the mark at the fifth time of asking. The Ballydoyle debutant Samuel Colt could well prove the main threat, while Thrifty Of Digby could come on enough from a recent debut to feature. [Alan Hewison]
