2-6 on turf on the Flat, both wins coming on quick ground at 7f-1m at Ayr; remains 10lb above his last turf win but not beaten far off 2lb higher on latest at Musselburgh (7f, good); conditions to suit here and he could go well.

Three-time AW winner who sole turf success from eight starts came over 7f at Leopardstown in 2023 off 65; ran better than finishing position suggests on Curragh seasonal return and entitled to improve; 4lb wrong.

Off the mark at the fourth attempt in maidens at this venue when last sighted in September (6f, yld-sft); has placed form at 7f on good ground so worth checking in the market on handicap debut and seasonal reappearance.

Decent efforts in three maidens from 6f-8f, though the lesser of the three was over C&D; tends to carry his head high and needs more.

Best two efforts in four maiden runs came over 7f at Dundalk last winter; not a bad run on handicap bow and seasonal return at Limerick (7f, soft) behind Zenford and Venetian Star; same mark here and Keane takes over now; ran well on good ground at the Curragh last term; interesting.

Five wins for Johnny Murtagh; poor in opening runs for new yard until a 1l fourth of 17 at the Curragh in April (7f, soft); didn't build on that back at the Curragh last time (1m, good); 12lb below his last winning mark now.

Two-time AW winner is 0-13 on turf but has gone close in defeat; some of best efforts have come at Galway so likely to be heading to Ballybrit; however, not beaten far at Down Royal last time (7f, soft) and 1lb lower now so place shout, though could be drawn better.
