Seven wins on the Flat, also a winning hurdler; landed Gowran conditions race (9.5f, yielding) for a third time last month; has chased home the smart Purview on two occasions at this venue this season; got closer over 1m2f three weeks ago, than in a 1m4f event in May.

Seven-time winner on the Flat; landed Gowran conditions race (9.5f, yielding) for the third year running on latest; won lesser renewal of this race last season (good) but was no match for Purview in 1m4f Listed heat here on penultimate; hard to see him turning that around, but generally reliable and place chance.

Eight-race maiden has finished second in five of his races, including his last four; good effort in a four-runner C&D race on just his second turf run last time when 1.5l behind Trustyourinstinct, who has since won a Group 2; would receive 8lb from Summer Is Tomorrow in a handicap, so has work to do but he's consistent.

Maiden; five of his six starts have been over C&D and finished runner-up in three of those; a 0.5l runner-up in November off 4lb lower and winner followed up next time in a rated race; squeezed for room in a maiden last time but recovered to again take second; he's knocking on the door.

Dundalk debut winner for Adrian Murray; showed improvement on second start for this yard when 6.5l behind Minnie Hauk in Curragh Group 2 (1m2f, good) last month; completely outclassed in Tattersalls Gold Cup at the Curragh 19 days ago; this is a lot easier but unproven on soft; blinkers.

Won on good ground whan trained in France as a 2yo; not many runs since and was picked up by current connections for 3,600gns in an online sale in August; seemed rusty in the early stages but ran on well to be just denied at Leopardstown 14 days ago; up 5lb but a big player if building on that.
