J: Colin Keane

T: Gerard O’Leary

Has won five races up to 1m1f from 34 Flat starts; fine runs in defeat in premier handicaps at Leopardstown and Galway over the summer but was a bit below that level in the Cambridgeshire here last time; can be keen so needs to settle better.

J: Frederick Larson

T: Michael Appleby

Overcame a wide trip to score at Kempton (AW) last week, benefiting from the return to this grade and belated step up to 7f; now 3-6 in Class 4 events and remains unexposed at this distance; 5lb penalty is largely offset by Frederick Larson's useful claim; respected.

Only narrowly beaten the last twice in 7f handicaps when visored and in cheekpieces (latterly); returning to 6f won't harm this C&D winner and this race looks a bit easier.

Made it an amazing seven wins for the year, all from the front, over C&D on Friday; subsequent 1lb rise and 4lb penalty sees him still just below his highest successful mark and there's every chance he can complete a two-month eight-timer.

He was recording his 11th course win when making all in a Class 5 over C&D ten days ago, completing a six-timer in the process; 1lb well in under his penalty, well drawn and dropping in grade, so a seven-timer is beckoning.

Markedly more exposed than Goyard but is similar in one respect, being 2-2 at Ripon; recent form is respectable enough to put him in calculations off a workable mark back at this course.

Yet to run a bad race over C&D, boasting a record of 12312 at the track; second in this race 12 months ago but 4lb higher this time round; met some trouble at a crucial stage at Newbury last time and that isn't the run to judge her on; should go well with all ground seeming to come alike to her.
