Won French Listed race on soft as 2yo but has been put in his place in his few outings on soft or heavy ground since; with new yard this term and tongue tied, easily winning a maiden hurdle in May and following up in 1m6f handicap at Royal Ascot (good to firm) in June; this race demands a lot more. |

Lightly raced 4yo whose career highlight was her third in a fillies' Group 2 at Doncaster (1m6f, soft) last September; won her maiden on fast ground; she may have needed last month's comeback run in Group 3 at York but she was well beaten and it's hard to be confident on the back of that; handicap debut. |

Useful hurdler/chaser, third at the Galway festival last time; reliable on varied ground on the Flat, on the premises in some major handicaps including when he stayed on to be a close third at Royal Ascot (1m6f, good to firm) on his sole Flat run this term; each-way chance again. |

Unable to threaten in 1m4f/1m5f Group 3 races this spring; gradually worked his way into a creditable fourth of 16 in 1m6f handicap at Royal Ascot (good to firm; acts on soft) next time and kept finding to get on top late on in a 1m6f Group 3 here (good to soft) six weeks ago; 2m now beckons and another improved showing, which is needed, is probably on its way. |

Lightly raced 6yo who easily made all at Dundalk (2m, AW) last December and did likewise at Leopardstown (1m4f, good) last month on final run for Barry Fitzgerald (has changed hands since); unraced on fast ground; repeating those tactics from his wide draw might be tricky on stable debut, but he's clearly thriving and it remains to be seen where his limitations lie. |

Superb pedigree as half-brother to Baaeed and Hukum; threatened to go the wrong way earlier this season (tended to hang right) but gave a much more positive performance when second of ten in steadily run race at Newbury (2m, good to firm) on latest outing, detached last early on but beaten just a head; cheekpieces (tried two starts back, met copious trouble in running) return; may well have turned a corner and is capable of being in the shake-up. |
