Seasoned campaigner was once again putting in his customary late dash at Naas last month; didn't run badly here last time and not without a chance if he can get going early enough; back to 6f for the first time in over a year.

Grand old servant who is stuck on a 16-race losing streak; disappointed at Gowran this month but stamina was stretched over a mile on the day; he's well treated now and has won around here in the past but the percentage call is to oppose.

Form & Verdict
Won both starts as a juvenile; not effective in two starts in Listed company in the spring; might prefer it softer but has been found a pretty good handicap opportunity here and should go close.

Coolmore cast-off who gained his first win for this yard when seeing off three rivals in a Windsor handicap in May (5f, good to firm); creditable effort in the Gosforth Park Cup seven weeks ago; conditions shouldn't be an issue but he's likely vulnerable to something lower down the weights.

Disappointing at Doncaster 12 days ago but he's capable of bouncing back from a poor run, which is what happened when he won at Windsor (5f) last month; close second over 6f here in February and not discounted.
