9st 9lb

J: Warren Fentiman

T: Stephen Hanlon

Fair ex-Irish 6f winner; yet to hit top form in four runs for his current yard, tried in a visor when fourth of seven in 6f Southwell handicap 15 days ago; needs to step forward despite a falling mark.

Velvet Skies

9st 6lb

J: Conor Whiteley

T: Stephen Hanlon

Well handicapped on last year's Irish best; has not made a big impact in three runs for Stephen Hanlon (single-figure price on each occasion) and cheekpieces didn't help over 7f three weeks ago; dropping down the weights and new headgear is tried but there are risks attached.

J: Conor Whiteley

3-47 with his wins coming over 6f/7f on turf/Polytrack in Ireland; has made a low-key start for this yard and needs to improve for the fitting of cheekpieces.

J: Conor Whiteley

Three wins in Ireland, including one over this trip on the AW at Dundalk; placed three times there this winter and not seen to best effect (met trouble) on 6f Southwell yard debut 17 days ago; treated as if still in form.
