Added his fifth win (third on AW) when winning cosily over 6f here in January off 5lb lower (has won off a mark of 72 before); hampered when attempting to follow up over this C&D next time, finishing a 2.5l fourth; not at his best back on turf at the Curragh last time (heavy); cheekpieces on now and claims if on song.

Last of her four wins was in September 2023; respectable fifth in handicap at Gowran (1m1f, good) in July but she missed the break and was tailed off in a classified event at Ayr last month (1m2f, good); 4lb wrong.

April's Gowran Park third (9.5f, yielding) is a sole podium finish in her last 18 runs, but she ran to that sort of level again back there last time, reaffirming she can still operate on sounder surfaces also.
