Another who is capable under both codes and has been on a roll on the Flat this year, gamely repelling allcomers from the front over 1m6f at Killarney last time (good); however, off this mark in today's company, this would be his toughest test yet on the Flat.

Veteran whose last win under rules was in 2020 (won a point early in 2024); fourth of 16 at Chepstow in January may look the only positive result in his nine races this season but he was beaten 35l, so that does not persuade; not even with his 37lb fall in the weights this term.
