T: Adam Nicol

Six-race maiden on the Flat but he's 3-4 over hurdles and travelled strongly for a long way when close third in the Triumph at Cheltenham last month; split Maestro Conti and Selma De Vary in that race and should make another bold bid here; that last run was on soft but his second win was on good.

Ordinary maiden on the Flat; won hurdling debut at Tipperary in July, however, and has emerged as a leading juvenile hurdler for new yard with his Listed win at Wetherby (good; overcame a bad late mistake) and Triumph Trial win over C&D (good to soft; by just over 6l from Winston Junior); the latter makes him the highest-rated runner in this from a British stable.

Ex-Irish; went close on stable debut on the Flat in October and made it 2-2 over hurdles with Listed win at Wetherby (2m, good) later that month; showed promise on soft going on the Flat; major player under 7lb penalty.

Won a Tipperary maiden hurdle in July and runner-up in his subsequent Flat races, the latest on debut for this yard over 2m at Musselburgh; should run well but ultimately come up short.

Low-mileage 3yo who ended his time in Ireland with positive performances in July, winning at Tipperary (2m; sole hurdles attempt) then staying-on second in Ballinrobe maiden (9.5f); may do better still; interesting on handicap/stable debut.
