9st 8lb

J: Shane Kelly

T: Jonjo O’Neill

Won 1m4f Listed race (very soft) in France during 2021; wasn't beaten far in a better race than this over 2m at Haydock last spring but he's generally struggled under both codes since and was tailed off back at Haydock (1m7f, heavy) 18 days ago; lots to prove.

J: Rob Hornby

T: Jonjo O’Neill

Won 1m4f Listed race in France during 2021; wasn't beaten far in a better race than this over 2m (good) on this track in May 2022 but all at sea over hurdles since and that mark is now lower than his Flat one; no joy at Goodwood recently and has it to prove at present.

9st 5lb

J: Kieran Shoemark

T: Jonjo O’Neill

Listed winner on Flat in France; 0-12 in Britain, mostly over hurdles (well held off modest marks the last twice); well treated on best form in this sphere but is by no means guaranteed to reproduce it.

10st 8lb

J: Richie McLernon

T: Jonjo O’Neill

Responded well to first-time cheekpieces when second at Uttoxeter (2m7f, good) in June but then finished tailed off at Market Rasen; capable of running well but looking hard to predict; best French form was in blinkers.

J: Richie McLernon

T: Jonjo O’Neill

0-8 over hurdles but seemed to respond well to first-time cheekpieces when second at Uttoxeter (2m7f, good) a fortnight ago and will be on the premises if in similar form again here.
