Straightforward gelding who's fine on any surface and generally consistent; there's not much room for manoeuvre off this mark, though, and Kylian may be his trainer's best chance. |

All runs over 6f on heavy; touched off first two starts, including over C&D on reappearance, before scraping home at the Curragh last month; wasn't doing a tap in front that day and, if the headgear keeps him focused, is capable of better; yard had one-two in this race three years ago. |

Nine-time winner, most recently over C&D (soft) off 82 in March; best effort for some time when today's headgear tried in finishing never nearer fourth over C&D 17 days ago in testing conditions; 2lb lower now and Keane takes over; has to be respected. |

Two wins (turf/AW) from his 11 runs for Aidan O'Brien, the latest off 4lb lower at Dundalk (6f) last August; changed hands for 15,000gns in October; he needs to be at the very top of his game on this stable/seasonal debut, but new trainer does very well with recruits from other yards; not ruled out. |
