Well-bred and expensive yearling went close in three maidens last year up to 7f in varying ground conditions plus ran respectably in a Group 3; was below form over this trip on testing ground on seasonal debut but has changed stable since and this sound surface will suit better; big chance with cheekpieces on

Went down by no more than a length in all three maiden starts last term, including never-nearer second over 7f at Galway when last seen in August; respectable run in Group 3 before that; that Galway run was on yielding to soft but has missed several engagements due to soft ground; first try at 1m.

Several solid runs in maidens and handicaps in 15 starts but obviously not progressive; runner-up in maidens over C&D and 1m2f at Down Royal last twice; a repeat will see him get involved.

Fair Flat maiden and won Thurles maiden hurdle for Ross O'Sullivan; has struggled in handicaps and mark has tumbled; money for him when sixth on stable debut at Ballinrobe in July and had a spin in a charity race last weekend.

Well handicapped on his wins at Bath (1m2f) and Epsom (8.5f) last year, but he hasn't threatened back on the Flat in his last two starts; needs to raise his game and it would be a concern if rain arrives (all wins have been on good/good to firm).

Pretty consistent on the Flat and over hurdles this year and has dropped 1lb since his recent fourth at Epsom (1m2f, good to firm); visor (worn for last four races) is left off here; probably won't be far away.

Scored over 8.5f here (good) last summer and kept on for respectable fourth at Brighton (1m4f, good to firm) on latest Flat start in May; returns to this code on a workable mark and after a recent second over hurdles; likely contender.
