Irish raider who travelled powerfully and needed only to be shaken up inside the final furlong to win very stylishly under Shane Gray at Southwell (1m) in February; shaped well when third of 12 to Cephalus over 1m at Lingfield since, finishing strongly having been dropped in at the rear from an outside stall; has fared a lot better with the draw this time; fine at 7f; big player.

Resurgent 5yo who gained a fifth 1m win since December when leading towards the finish in a competitive race at Lingfield on Good Friday (Benavente 1.5l back in third); the drop back to 7f asks a different question but he did win over C&D earlier in his career and further progress can't be discounted in his current mood.

Listed winner over 6f on turf in summer 2022 but below that level when drawing a blank in 11 subsequent outings; feasibly handicapped as a result and has won here before, but a watching brief is the percentage call racing beyond a sprint trip for the first time on her return from six months off.
