Consistent of late and earned his fourth career success here when touching off Picpoul over 1m4f here three weeks ago under this rider; as effective over this trip and should be competitive again despite his 5lb penalty. |

Recorded third turf win earlier this month at Roscommon under positive ride from today's rider (1m4f, good), overcoming wide draw and having been hampered; 5lb rise takes her back to a near career-high mark so interesting to see if she can back that up. |

Dual-purpose performer who is not easy to predict but he returned to the Flat with an eyecatching third over C&D (hood reapplied) on recent stable debut; could be dangerous if he can back that up and he's in the mix. |
