Group 2 winner at the Curragh (7f, good) in July 2024 and runner-up in two 7f Group races last autumn (very soft/good); not at his best on his two runs this season but each-way claims if back on song today.

J: Sam James

T: K R Burke

7f specialist, a Group 2 winner in July 2024; below best when finding Myal just too strong in conditions event at Thirsk (7f, good; 15-8 favourite) on return; may build on that but he's 4lb worse off with that rival here.

Raced almost exclusively at 7f; Group 2 winner in Ireland as a 4yo; ran close to that level when second in Longchamp Group 3 (very soft) and the Group 2 Challenge at Newmarket (good; Scoville 5.5l back in fourth) last autumn; disappointing on his 2025 reappearance but won first time up in 2023 and 2024; leading form claims.

Group 2 winner on Irish soil last term; best effort since when close second in French Group 3 last time; fresh contender, having raced just twice this season; possibilities.

took keen hold, led, joined after 3f, headed under 2f out, soon lost position, weakening when bumped 1f out, eased inside final furlong (vet said gelding was post race normal)
