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.

Triple AW winner who is 0-24 on turf but he ran well to finish second behind an unexposed improver at Lingfield (1m2f, good to firm) 11 days ago; on same mark here and he's a big player if he can repeat that form.

Won off today's mark on Polytrack here (1m2f) in April; not quite at same level on turf since but was persistently denied clear run when fourth of six at Sandown (1m2f, good to firm; behind Percival) nine days ago and has possibilities if his luck improves.

Won at Lingfield (1m2f, AW) in April and he produced one of his better turf runs when close fifth of eight at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm) last time; however, a record of 0-22 on grass doesn't inspire confidence.

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.

Enjoyed a career highlight when winning the Group 1 Tattersalls Gold Cup in 2021; very nearly matched that achievement when first-past-the-post in this race last year, demoted for causing interference to Ndaawi; no sign of that standard of form in valuable handicap over hurdles or on the Flat since then; still 5lb higher than 12 months ago.

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.
