Maiden outings were at good tracks; the longer trip may suit to judge from a staying-on run over 7f at Gowran; needs to reverse the form of that race with Fendi.

Has progressed really well since joining this yard this term, recording back-to-back premier handicap wins at the Curragh and when hitting the line strongly here over 1m1f on quick ground; keen and never involved from a wide draw behind Dunum at Galway on latest; drop back to 7f may not suit.

Has progressed really well since joining this yard this term, recording back-to-back premier handicap wins of late, at the Curragh and when hitting the line strongly over 1m1f at Leopardstown 19 days ago; strong stayer at this trip so a truly-run race will suit and favourable ground conditions persist.

Winner of a premier handicap at the Curragh last time (1m, good); had a number of today's rivals behind him on that occasion; consistent runs prior to his recent win; up 5lb and a number of those in behind him didn't get a clear run that day so he could be vulnerable.

Stable form is a positive and first-time blinker may help but hard to be confident; trainer has two other two runners, so the market may prove informative.
