Gained his second career win and second win at Gowran off 4lb lower on penultimate (1m, good); ran on well for fifth off revised mark in the Sovereign Path (7f, good) latest; down 1lb and the return to 1m is a plus; considered. |

Both turf wins have come at Gowran, most recently last month over 1m off 80, having previously gone close here over same trip under regular rider; 4lb rise okay but draw is a negative and soft ground a concern. |

Most recent win came in this race last year from a 1lb higher mark (1m, good); has worn a hood on his last two starts, which has resulted in a pair of seconds at 7f/1m; chance returned to the scene of his win wearing the hood. |

9st 10lb |
Entering legendary course specialist status after adding a tenth win at the venue in a Listed race last time (6f, good); prior to that he won a C&D Listed contest in March (soft to heavy) when seeing off East Hampton by 1.5l; got closest to subsequent Group 1 winner Comanche Brave when a 2l second in a 6f Group 2 here on penultimate (good); always a danger around here and should go well again. |

Gallant grey veteran is an eight-time course winner and no signs of slowing down this season; won Listed race here in March (7f, sft-hvy) and another cracking run when runner up in the Group 2 Greenlands Stakes here in May (6f, good, Fregada 2.5l behind); goes on any ground, was fourth in this last year and another big run likely on the cards here. |

More effective at this venue than on turf, with four of her five wins gained here, three of them over this trip; ran only three times on turf this year; excellent effort from 4lb out of the handicap when third of 11 in a premier handicap over this trip at the Curragh in July. |

Won a 1m maiden a year ago; uneven form on turf this year before a narrow C&D handicap win in October; not well treated at the weights in a Listed race here last month, so it was a surprise when she was sent off favourite; finished with only one behind her; should be much more at home down in grade here. |

Won C&D maiden last winter and first success since here last month when getting up on post over 7f in handicap; plenty to find on ratings but likely capable of better again at this trip and don't rule out her nicking some black type. |
