9st 3lb |
Decent sort but hasn't added to 2yo maiden win; has been running over further of late, good efforts in Gowran Listed and Galway premier handicap and career-best in Group 3 CMG Group Stakes here last month over 1m4f when beaten 4l; not sure if this drop in trip will be in his favour. |

Decent sort but hasn't added to 2yo maiden win; placed on five of six starts this term, including C&D Listed, most recently in Galway premier handicap; fair bit to find to play a major role. |

3yo; has gone 0-5 since his maiden win and his lack of pace has been exposed of late; he still didn't run at all badly last week in a 1m4f Listed race at Gowran and perhaps a big-field handicap scenario will suit him well. |

Consistent last season, going close in 1m2f Group 3 Gallinule Stakes here and later in year twice runner-up in Longchamp Group contests over 1m7f; first two runs this term at 1m6f were creditable, drop back 1m4f didn't suit latest; drops to handicap company and back to ideal trip. |

Big improver who made it 2-3 in handicap hurdles when completing a double in smooth style at Huntingdon (2m4f, good to firm) on Tuesday; that was a three-runner race but he won with lots in hand and is 5lb well in under a double penalty here; leading contender. |

Looked unlucky not to make winning handicap hurdle debut at Wetherby (2m, good to soft; made bad jumping error) in March but gained compensation with 21l win at Hereford (2m3f, good to firm) a week ago; ought to be hard to beat under 7lb penalty here. |

A fair ex-Irish Flat maiden; brought along steadily over hurdles for current yard before much improved on his handicap debut (on the back of a wind op) when second of 11 at Wetherby (2m) in March, only just failing after a late blunder; major shout despite a 6lb rise. |

Can be a tricky ride but justified market support when notching first win narrowly at Roscommon in October (10.5f, soft); wasn't beaten far in C&D handicap last summer from 2lb higher and ran well on return last season; considered. |
