Ran creditably in two valuable conditions races last season, tenth of 30 over C&D in the Goffs Million and fifth in a Naas event; ended the season with a run at Group 3 level in the 1m1f Eyrefield Stakes at Leopardstown, appeared not to stay; first time in a maiden now; official rating of 95 may flatter him, but he could be good enough here; tongue-tie on.

Left her first three efforts for Iain Jardine behind when winning over 6f at Newcastle 16 days ago; the way she got on top towards the finish doesn't suggest she's crying out for this drop to 5f for the first time but the fact she's a last-time-out winner counts for something.
