8st 7lb |
Five-time winner, two on turf, both over a mile on good; in good form on the AW lately, won 1m4f handicap at Dundalk in February; 0.75l second to Unterberg 14 days ago on AW; needs a good pace to aim at and trip a bit sharp; soft ground would be a concern. |

Scored his third course win and his first over this trip when a neck too good for today's rival Benavente last month; had reached the first three in six consecutive races before last week's fourth of nine in a race in which Beauparc beat Voice Of Reason |

No win in her first 13 starts but she's won three of her last four including at Bath (1m/1m2f) in her last two runs; up 3lb for her narrow success last time but she's open to more progress and is versatile ground-wise; big player back down in trip. |

Quickened up well off a steady pace when winning at Lingfield (1m2f, AW) last month and made it two wins from her last three starts when landing a handicap here (good to soft) over 1m 12 days ago; raised 4lb and now steps back up in trip with solid claims if handling the likely quicker ground. |

Record of 533313 for new stable and that latest third was a creditable effort from off the pace at Wolverhampton (8.6f) last month; on same mark here and she's a big player if she can continue the good work back on turf. |

Now with his fifth different trainer; gained an overdue breakthrough at Dundalk on his 26th start; perhaps unlucky not to finish closer at Limerick last month on stable debut, since he almost lost his footing on the final bend; placed 11 times, capable of reaching the money in this grade. |

No AW win since March 2024; respectable showings, behind in-form rivals, over a range of trips (6f-1m) recently, without doing enough to suggest that she's primed to strike; drop back to 7f is helpful and she might have place possibilities; one of two for Iain Jardine. |
