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.

Dual winner who was having only his fifth career start when a front-running third to Kyprios in the Listed Vintage Crop at Navan and runner-up Enfranchise has since gone close in a German Group 2; perhaps a shade flattered that day but this 4yo is improving by the looks and is of strong interest.

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.

Usually held up; debut win at Tipperary (7f, soft to heavy) last May; model of consistency in defeat in her eight starts since, over 1m on last three occasions but she figured at up to 1m4f last term and it's easy to think that this step back up in trip will suit her; interesting for Irish trainer who's had a second, third and fourth from his three runners at Epsom, the first two of those at this meeting.

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.
