Form & Verdict
Dual-purpose; yet to win this year but has run some solid races in defeat, including a 4.5l fourth of 18 on latest at Gowran off 109 over 2m4f last week; she has run well at this venue before on ground softer than ideal and she has to be considered dropped back in trip with conditions to suit off the same mark as last time.

Dual-purpose; classy on the Flat; 0-5 over hurdles and not seen in this sphere for 529 days; won three races on the level during the summer; ground conditions are fine and if he can transfer his flat ability (rated 103) to this discipline he could be hard to beat off 109; however, he might need a run or two to get his eye in back over hurdles.
