9st 0lb |
Five-time AW winner is 0-11 on turf but has run well in defeat; excellent efforts last twice at Leopardstown (a neck behind Cloud Seeker) and here, both over 1m2f on good; this is his optimum trip and he holds leading claims. |

Five-time Dundalk winner with the last four wins coming over 1m4f; cracking run behind Cloud Seeker at Leopardstown (1m2f) earlier this month; up 1lb but may have more to give for his new yard and not ruled out, despite ideally needing a bit further. |

Consistent in Ireland in 2020 and 2021, not in 2022 but the best of his efforts that year make this look a good mark; won a maiden over 1m6f but peak efforts have been over a little shorter; the big issue, though, is over how ready he will be after 645 days off the track. |

Won his share in Ireland but has been on the downgrade for a while and has had three different trainers in the past nine months; however, he showed enough on the AW here last time to suggest he has each-way claims back up in trip and down another 2lb. |
