Useful on the Flat when based in Ireland and 2-7 over hurdles for current stable; not bred for fences but returned from break with a pretty good effort last month and will be suited by the trip/ground on this chasing debut; cheekpieces refitted. |

Six-time winner for Charlie Johnston and best form over this trip; poor on first two runs for this yard at big prices; better than bare result when beaten over 5l at Gowran last May; yard's first runner of the year won on Tuesday; no surprise were he to go well after a break with leading claimer aboard. |

Turf (soft) and AW winner last summer who is back on her last winning mark and shaped as though coming to hand at Bath last time; the forecast ground here should suit better and leading claims. |

6th Sep 2023 Good 1m 3f 137y Class 4 |

Won back-to-back 1m4f events last year, including a handicap off this mark; her third at Ascot in July was in line with those efforts and latest run there was too bad to be true; very capable of going well. |

2022 campaign included 1m4f wins in a soft-ground maiden and AW handicap, followed by a close fourth when tried over 1m6f; latest start was more like it again, when making most for a respectable fourth of eight at this track (1m4f); going back up in trip looks in order but 2m is something new. |

Three wins last year, the latest when beating two rivals from 3lb lower at Sandown (1m6f, good to firm) in July; held in both starts since returning from seven months off in April and she probably needs further than this now. |

Generally progressive last term, winning three times (1m3f-1m6f, good/faster); very close third over 1m6f at Chester (good to soft) on final outing; below par at Ripon (1m4f, soft) on reappearance but record suggests she'll bounce back. |

In fine form, winning over 2m4f at Punchestown festival and good efforts off much higher marks since, chasing home an 8l winner over this trip at Ballinrobe and not quite getting home over 3m1f when third at Kilbeggan last month; trip/ground okay and should go well again. |

In fine form; won by 11l off 12lb lower at Punchestown (19.5f, yielding); creditable 8l second of 16 off revised mark at Ballinrobe (22.5f, good), staying on well; step up in trip looks a good move on that evidence and should go well again off 1lb higher. |

More potent upped to 1m6f (with Adam Farragher) when cheekpieces were initially enlisted for his last two starts last season, notably for a clearcut win over C&D (good to soft); 8lb higher today and has not fired in the same way in his three starts this term; headgear now removed. |

Not gone on from his Southwell success (16.5f, AW) in December, though front-running may not have suited him at Lingfield (2m, AW) last time; only seen on Flat turf once since August 2022, but he does act on it (2-8); interesting, especially if taking to the first-time cheekpieces. |
