J: Chris Hayes

T: Miss Kate McGivern

His seven wins include this race in 2024; added a valuable handicap in Bahrain over the winter; bounced back to form after a break when winning a C&D Listed race last month but found Group 2 company too tough at the Curragh last weekend; this is easier despite his hefty weight.

Six-time handicap winner (including over C&D); took his form to a new level when winning a Listed heat at Cork (5f, good) last month when wearing this headgear combination for the first time; this is much harder, so another step forward is required.

Nearly won a Curragh handicap before her two good runs at Listed level at Naas in races won by the smart Mission Central, finishing closer on the first occasion; she was only a half-length behind Keke the last time (both behind Gazelle d'Or) and they're all on the same terms.

Sole win in 19 starts came in Cork maiden but has strung together a series of good efforts in decent sprint company this season, notably seconds in Listed events both here and at Cork, most recently third in conditions event here early in the month; best form at 5f so possibly vulnerable at this longer trip.

Nearly beat Stag Night in a C&D handicap before two fine runs at Listed level at Naas in races won by the subsequent Group 1 winner Mission Central, finishing closer on the first occasion; another fine effort when second in a Listed race at Cork; the downside is that she is 17lb higher than for her last handicap start.

Mostly campaigned (without success) in Listed company since winning off 77 at Chepstow (5f, gd-sft) last August; remains 10lb above that last success but a repeat of her 3l Cork fourth on penultimate would give her a squeak back in handicap company and she'll be suited by a strongly run race.
