All wins over 1m and was outpaced in the dip when third here on Tuesday; wide trip means that effort can be marked up, but 7f could be a bit sharp for him.

Third career win came on final start last season in 1m Listowel Listed in testing conditions under a positive ride (just a day after being well beaten in a handicap); failed to beat a single rival home in 1m4f Curragh Listed on return; balance of form is over shorter than this so others preferred.

Below par in heritage handicap at York on latest but previously ran well in defeat in a premier handicap at the Curragh; AW debutant is bred to act on this surface (half-brother to two AW winners and dam won on AW) so could bounce back.

Gained third career win at Down Royal in June, bolting up; hit with a 14lb rise for that; struggled over 1m4f in a premier handicap at Galway; second in a five-runner contest at Sligo; seems best at around 1m2f; may lack the pace for a race like this.

Joined this yard for Eu210,000 after showing useful form in nine French races; first Irish run last spring was ordinary; much better when winning a rated race over the extended mile at the Galway festival (soft); fair third of seven in a similar race to this at Cork on final start, this race appears to have greater depth.

One of two for yard; Curragh maiden winner (1m1f, gd-yld) last summer; out of depth in Listed company on final start of last year at Killarney (1m, good); encouraging return to action at Fairyhouse (7f, good) in June when 2l behind the 99 rated Cowardofthecounty; a bit to find on the figures but not dismissed stepped back up in trip.

Won her maiden at Leopardstown by 6l (1m, yielding to soft; runner-up beaten since and now 0-4); it's unwise to suggest that her limitations were exposed in an Oaks trial over further at Naas as that race never went entirely to plan; her very low draw could be troublesome but she's one of a bucketload in here capable of better.

Sioux Nation filly was only a length off Ice Dancer in sole start at two; 11-10 fav when hosing up in 1m Leopardstown maiden last month, but what did she beat is the question? Still, it was impressive and connections think she'll improve for better ground; there are stayers further back in her pedigree.
