J: Donagh O’Connor

T: R P Cody

Three wins in Britain in 2023; regressive in last two seasons but best run for some time at Dundalk last month when second to an improver over today's trip under a positive ride, his second run for the yard; same mark here, could go well from a good draw.

Just one win from her 17 starts but that came on New Year's Day at Newcastle (6f) and she's largely continued in form there since, placing over 7f on her last three visits; raced only on AW for this yard but her peak RPR was achieved on turf in Ireland.
