Reached a mark of 87 as a juvenile for Jessica Harrington after a run in the Coventry Stakes and two seconds over this trip at Navan; regressive in four outings last season; has been dropped to 64 and is potentially interesting if his new trainer can rekindle his ability; hooded first time on stable/handicap/AW debut.

0-7 on turf; earned a rating of 87 on the back of two good 5f Navan maiden runs last season; now rated 78 after two poor efforts this term; big chance on paper but on this year's evidence his mark may flatter him; withdrawn when unruly at stalls at the Curragh last month; risky.

Good 2yo form included Listed third; not quite at same level but fine runs on both outings since belated return last month, beaten a neck at the Curragh and just a head off Glory To Be when strong-finishing fourth over C&D a fortnight ago; visor now tried and good chance of reversing that form.

Consistent filly has finished in the first three in six of seven turf starts; top rated at 76 and just touched off on first run of the season at the Curragh latest (a couple of these rivals behind); has run well over 5f here before and she's the one to beat.
