Form & Verdict

Has quietly built into a Group class performer this season, landing a Tramore maiden hurdle by 11l in May before landing a Gowran conditions for the second year running in June; ran subequent Glorious Goodwood winner Jan Brueghel close in 1m2f Curragh Group 3 next time and gave St Leger winner Continuous a good race when last seen finishing second at that same venue on ground faster than what he'd like; big player.

Not many end up in a Curragh Group 3 via a Tramore maiden hurdle; followed up that win with a ready and repeat success in a 1m1f conditions contest at Gowran; only defeat on the Flat came behind Self Belief in last year's Meld Stakes; not easy to assess but others look more likely.

Twice a Listed winner at 1m4f, including at Cork on seasonal reappearance; failed to confirm the form of that race with runner-up Sumiha in a Group 3 over the same C&D in June; cheekpieces reached for now but she wants soft in the description (non-runner at Fairyhouse in July due to good ground).

Promise at Listed/Group 3 level as a 3yo and duly improved to win a York Listed race (1m6f, good to soft) in June; he ran as though something was amiss in a Group 3 there next time but got right back to his best when landing a French Group 3 at Deauville (12.5f, good) last month; carries a penalty here but must be respected.

Won 1m3f maiden (soft) on debut last April; improved form in defeat in Listed race and 1m5f Group 3 on next two starts, before a lesser show in Group 3 last August; given wind surgery three days later and reappeared with creditable fourth of 13 in handicap here (1m4f, good) one month ago; has a bit to find but today's longer trip can suit and this lightly raced 4yo remains open to progress.

Held his form without winning in some competitive handicaps this year, beaten 4l at Royal Ascot in June over this trip before a fair Newmarket sixth; he disappointed at the Galway festival when last seen but his high draw didn't aid his cause (six of the first seven home had single-digit draws); this is a tough assignment but stable has won four of last six runnings and the 3yo allowance will be a help.
