Unbeaten in two starts here over this trip, including early last month when getting up late to deny stablemate Primo Uomo (Jawwaal third); won a shade cosily then so could well have more to offer despite 6lb rise.

J: Conor Cusack

Four-time AW winner, sole turf success came in 5f handicap at Naas in May 2024; solid effort when over 1m at Bellewstown in April and backed that up with a close third over 6f at Naas last month; 1-22 record on turf is a concern but those recent efforts have been encouraging

Four-time AW winner, sole turf success came in 5f handicap (good) on this card in 2024 and he's just 1lb higher now; solid effort over 1m at Bellewstown latest (soft); should get a strong pace to aim at here and not discounted.

Four-time AW winner is 1-19 on turf; is 2lb below that last turf win which came at Naas (5f, good) in May 2024; handles an ease but this trip may just stretch his stamina.

Form & Verdict
Off for over seven months until back to form in easily making all over C&D in December and better again off 8lb higher mark when only reeled in final strides by stablemate Mehman early last month; up a further 3lb but another bold bid expected.

Form & Verdict
Four-time 5f winner in Britain including last year at Sandown and Newcastle (AW); below best, albeit some stiff tasks, later in season and bought out of George Boughey's yard for 33,000gns at Tattersalls December Sales; possibly best watched on Irish debut although market worth a check.
