Form & Verdict
Finished placed here (8.6f/9.4f) in his first four runs this year but he didn't fire at Dundalk (1m2f) two weeks ago; that took his record to 1-31 and he now goes into unknown territory at this new trip; others preferred.

Form & Verdict
C&D winner who has returned to form with a comfortable success here (9.4f) and a close second at Brighton (1m2f) in his last two runs; remains feasibly treated on his best form and he's a key player on this step back up to 1m4f.

Form & Verdict

Triple course winner (1m4f/1m6f) who returned from a break with a fair third behind a well-handicapped rival at Newcastle (1m4f, Tapeta) 11 days ago; should benefit from that run and has claims if she gets a decent tow into this race.
