Form & Verdict
The least exposed runner in the field; promise on debut at Killarney (11.5f, good) and off the mark over 1m4f on heavy at Roscommon second time up (runner-up won a maiden since); was still a touch green that day and should be plenty more to come; ground and trip fine and he is a leading contender.

J: Gary Carroll

T: G M Lyons

Registered his highest rating in 1m6f Listed race on soft ground last April (his only time front-running); always prominent when strong finish took him to a handicap win at the Curragh (1m6f, yielding) this term and, although he wasn't discredited over 2m later in June, this trip on softer than good may well be the best fit; wears headgear for the first time.

Stayed on well to gain third career success off 8lb lower here on latest (1m6f, yielding); both previous runs at around this trip have not been his best so could be vulnerable upped in distance on quicker ground off career high mark.

Form & Verdict
89-rated filly won on her debut at Tipperary in May (7f, soft to heavy); three decent efforts since behind some solid yardsticks; third of four, 3.5l behind the 103-rated Star Harbour at Punchestown (1m1f, good) on latest; worth a try at this trip on the evidence of that effort and the tongue-tie is retained; not discounted.

Form & Verdict
Off the mark on seasonal reappearance and handicap debut at Leopardstown in April off 85; solid effort off 10lb higher in the London Gold Cup subsequently; failed to trouble the judge in four starts since and hasn't looked the strongest of finishers when trying this trip; handles soft but needs more.
