Similar form in sixth last twice, including behind Cnodian; this race should be run to suit hold-up type; ground-versatile.

Modest form at two, poor run over 1m on seasonal debut; quite possibly premature to write off, but best watched for the moment.

High draw was not ideal in the race won by Winemaker just over a fortnight ago; third on two occasions here in November/December; has done the majority of her racing at 6f, but was second here the last time she tried this trip in 2024.

Gained his first win on turf when landing a handicap at Bath (1m, good) this month and followed up there over 1m2f (firm; made all) six days ago; holds good claims dropping back in trip under a 4lb penalty but any rain probably won't be ideal.

First effort of note this season came at Fairyhouse early this month, speed throughout over 6f (splitting today's rivals Florence Thompson and Catherine Chroi); not certain this return to 7f will suit; 1lb wrong.

Form & Verdict
No show in three maidens last autumn on testing ground; gelded over the winter and much improved when a close second in a 6f Dundalk handicap, form enhanced by the winner Sam's Xpress since; back on heavy ground over 5f at Naas he put his old form behind him winning convincingly to earn a 9lb rise in the ratings; should be in the mix again.
