9st 3lb |
8yo who has been up and down this year and was soundly beaten at Longchamp (1m2f, good) a fortnight ago; however, he's won two big-field handicaps this season at the Galway festival (8.5f, yielding) in July and at the Curragh (1m2f, good) last month, and this Irish challenger is not discounted. |

Tenth win on the Flat when digging deep on soft to heavy at Bellewstown (1m4f) and doesn't need slow ground; however, she's in a lot deeper here with a 5lb rise to deal with. |

10st 1lb |
Won two in a row in July (1m2f/11.4f) and she's run pretty well in big fields on her last two starts, most recently fourth of 18 at Cork (1m4f); every chance that this extra furlong will be within range and she's won on ground from good through to heavy; this Irish raider could be in the mix. |
