Lightly raced 6yo who easily made all at Dundalk (2m, AW) last December and did likewise at Leopardstown (1m4f, good) last month on final run for Barry Fitzgerald (has changed hands since); unraced on fast ground; repeating those tactics from his wide draw might be tricky on stable debut, but he's clearly thriving and it remains to be seen where his limitations lie. |

Four Flat wins in France up to 10.5f on softer than good; failed to get his head in front where it matters in his nine races for the now-suspended Tony Martin but he's started to knock on the door very loudly; seemed to be outbattled in 2m3f maiden hurdle here in March, but travelled strongly in rear and flew home all too late when close third of 16 in the Chester Cup (2m2f, good to firm; 2lb higher today) on return to Flat; that puts him high on the list and William Buick won this race in 2021 and 2023. |

9st 9lb |
Superb pedigree as half-brother to Baaeed and Hukum; threatened to go the wrong way earlier this season (tended to hang right) but gave a much more positive performance when second of ten in steadily run race at Newbury (2m, good to firm) on latest outing, detached last early on but beaten just a head; cheekpieces (tried two starts back, met copious trouble in running) return; may well have turned a corner and is capable of being in the shake-up. |

Superb pedigree but he's been threatening to go the wrong way this season; has tended to hang right and tried cheekpieces on his return to handicap ranks at Royal Ascot (1m6f), only to meet plenty of trouble in running in his bid to come from last; tongue-tie (absent for last two starts) returns. |

Very nearly won the 2023 Chester Cup (soft) and everything fell right for him in that race this year (good to firm) when winning off 2lb lower than today; failed to sustain his form in 2023 and made no impact in his latest three runs, still running creditably at York on latest but it doesn't suggest he's the best handicapped. |

150-1 when he won the extremely valuable Irish Cesarewitch at the Curragh (2m1f, soft) last September, with it reported (by his trainer) that he doesn't like being crowded and was helped by a wide draw; could have trouble on that front today and he's been tailed off in this season's Chester Cup, Queen Alexandra and Irish Cesarewitch, so needs a spectacular revival. |

Has had just seven races and is now tongue tied first time; won over 1m4f (soft) and 10.5f (AW) in France; 110,000euros buy last July and pretty useful at the first attempt over hurdles when pipped at Killarney (2m4f) five weeks ago; there's plenty of the stayer about this Irish St Leger entry who comes from a yard which requires maximum attention in this race. |
