Form & Verdict
Won twice over 1m on good ground last season and went very close in a Listed race over C&D in August; not disgraced in Group 2 Blandford Stakes on final start; met some trouble in running when a creditable third on seasonal debut in a 1m Listed race at Navan last month; obvious chance, provided she handles the ground.

Campaigned at stakes level this year to good effect, notably just touched off in Killarney Listed over this trip; not far off that form when fourth in Naas fillies' Listed on latest although barely got home in soft ground; possibly not the strongest of finishers and interesting to see how she takes to this surface.

Form & Verdict
Group 1 winner in 2021; landing the Tattersalls Gold Cup by a short head from Broome; failed to find his form in a light campaign last season; disappointing on his final start at Naas when getting his favoured heavy ground in a race similar to this; again failed to make an impression on his reappearance at Leopardstown in April; questions to answer.

Last year's Galway Hurdle runner-up, a long time since the last of his five Flat wins (enjoyed highlight in the Group 1 Tattersalls Gold Cup in 2021); slipping in the ratings and fit from hurdling.

9yo was second to Lord Erskine in this last year and later first past the post in the Galway Hurdle (demoted for interference); back from winter break when midfield in County Hurdle last month (close up behind Karbau and Hello Neighbour), tiring from last; entitled to come on for that.
