J: Ben Harvey

T: D K Weld

Classy stayer on the Flat but getting long in the tooth; infrequent runner over hurdles nowadays and was well behind when unseating late on at the festival here.

9st 6lb

J: Chris Hayes

T: D K Weld

Veteran races mostly on the Flat these days and he showed he retained plenty of ability when winning at Gowran in April; he ran better than the results suggest the last twice and he was beaten 0.5l in this in 2023 off 8lb higher; cheekpieces replace visor; lively outsider.
