Best form has been at 1m2f but it was a Listed race in which she struggled when trying this far for the first time at Naas 19 days ago; others might be better treated anyway; tongue-tie joins regular cheekpieces.

Dual 7f winner (good to soft/heavy) and he was placed off higher marks than this when trained by Pam Sly last year; below his best in two starts since returning to this yard but he did have excuses at Newmarket 27 days ago having stumbled at the start and sat up with a strong pace; chance now dropped in grade.

C&D novice winner back in the day and he was trained by Micky Fenton in Ireland when landing big Galway handicap (7f, heavy) in 2024; back with his former trainer (in Newmarket this time) when weakening over 6f at Doncaster 18 days ago; might step forward from that comeback.
