J: W J Lee

T: Henry De Bromhead

Landed the Cork Derby (1m4f) last May and a Royal Ascot handicap (2m4f) last June, before his excellent second in the Ebor Handicap at York (1m6f) in August; not disgraced on final start but needs a serious advance to mix it with the best of these in today's Group 3.

Landed the Cork Derby (1m4f, good) in May off 93 and followed up in the Ascot Stakes off 95 (2m4f, gd-fm); runner up in the Ebor on latest off 98; can give another good account off 3lb higher.

J: Seamie Heffernan

T: Henry De Bromhead

Reverting to Flat has proved a huge success, most notably with his 2m4f win in a 20-runner handicap at Royal Ascot (good to firm) latest outing but he also scored over 1m4f the time before and the way he went through the Ascot race is not a disincentive; up 3lb in a stronger race but still of major interest.

Sole attempt on good to firm was debut; fairly useful hurdler who has reverted to the Flat with two seconds and two wins; the wins came in handicaps at Dundalk (2m, AW; easily at 2-5) and Cork (1m4f, good; hard fought) and he looks a live prospect for this race despite his speedy pedigree.
