9st 9lb

J: Ben Coen

T: Emmet Mullins

Useful jumper has won twice on the Flat, the last being the 2023 Cesarewitch; didn't get the clearest passage when beaten 11l in this year's renewal; handles this ground and can run well.

J: James Doyle

T: Emmet Mullins

Veteran whose big-race win on the Flat came in this contest on soft ground in 2023 off 3lb lower than today; missed most of last year (well beaten in this on return, ran creditably next time) and he's had just one race this season, when not discredited (ninth of 20) at Galway in July; ground softer than good would be preferred.

J: Mr H C Swan

T: Emmet Mullins

Versatile veteran won the Cesarewitch in 2023; slowly away and never figured in repeat bid last year on belated seasonal debut; 40-1 outsider of five when 6l third behind Dawn Rising in 2m Curragh Group 3 last November.
