11st 5lb

J: Alan Doyle

T: Lucinda Russell & Michael Scudamore

Hasn't the best of strike-rates but both his wins have been here, the latest over C&D last July (good) when wearing cheekpieces for the first time; disappointing up in trip here last time (didn't jump well); may have to race run to suit him but will need to jump better.

Largely consistent 10yo who belatedly opened his chasing account at Perth (2m, good; first-time cheekpieces) last summer; absent since below-par effort in October but ran well when fresh here (2m4f, good) last spring and returns from latest break on a workable mark.

Reasonably consistent and ran respectably on the bare figures over C&D most recently; however, still has a modest strike-rate, which includes a record of just 1-19 in the chase sphere.

10st 13lb

J: Alan Doyle

T: Lucinda Russell & Michael Scudamore

Appeared to have the race in the bag at Perth (2m4f, good) last month only to idle late on and get nabbed close home; ridden more patiently back there last week and couldn't pick up (beaten about 6l); however he was a close third to Pay The Piper in this last year and has a fair shout with visor replacing cheekpieces (worn last three races).

Regular here and fourth in this 12 months ago; appeared to have King Roly's measure here last month only to idle late on and get nabbed close home; nagging concern that he's 2-32 but clearly a strong contender.
