Done most winning round easy, turning courses, so has that in his favour; isn't as consistent now, which is no surprise given his age, but retains most of his ability and is fine on Tapeta; the harder they go the better for him. |

Veteran now but he ran really well in the Thirsk Hunt Cup (1m) and the Victoria Cup at Ascot (7f) in the spring and took advantage of a slight drop in grade at Chester (7.5f) last time, underlining how well he goes on soft ground; has an excellent course record and should remain very competitive after a 5lb rise. |

Dual winner on a sound surface when trained by Donnacha O'Brien; consistent enough in defeat since joining this yard, although tends to leave it too late before getting involved; drop back to 7f probably not ideal but handicapper's grip is softening. |

Won twice when with Donnacha O'Brien and was beaten a head in a C&D maiden for him; has met trouble in running more than once for this yard, including on latest at Galway (behind Monasterboice); may need more help from the handicapper but conditions should suit and he can't be discounted. |

Last year's Golden Mile win at Goodwood (strong record there) shows he's still smart on his day; respectable return to action when fifth in good conditions race over 7f here three weeks ago but he's gained the vast majority of his ten career wins on slower ground than he's likely to encounter this afternoon. |

Usually travels strongly; 0-6 this season, coming from the back again for creditable minor honours over 7f on heavy ground at Leicester and Newbury (yesterday) in his two starts this autumn; he's the sort who needs things to drop right but more than capable off this mark if they do. |
