Curragh specialist (eight wins, 11 places); also effective here (two wins and six places); getting on in years now, but this mark affords him a chance, since finished second of 23 off 4lb higher at the Curragh in September; two most recent runs at Group 3/Listed level.
Four AW wins, including this race in 2023 and last year; ran well in a very valuable Newcastle AW 6f contest in April; modest turf strike-rate (2-34) continued this summer; after a break, failed to do himself justice in the race won by Instant Appeal here 12 days ago; could be a different proposition now.
Record of 2-3 for Aidan O'Brien, including a 1m conditions race at Listowel; ran four times for Joseph O'Brien this year; gelded before promising reappearance in Naas Listed event (7f); below best in both Royal Hunt Cup and Curragh Listed race; not beaten far at Tipperary in August; bought cheaply (7,000gns in October) and has joined Denis Hogan.
Returned from a lengthy absence with some decent runs this summer for Jessica Harrington; has prospered in 1m races at this venue since joining Stephen Thorne, third on the first occasion as a prelude to back-to-back wins; has gone up an aggregate 13lb, but only 4lb above career-high mark as a juvenile when placed behind City Of Troy
Won two Kempton AW novices events and close up in Grade 3 at Keeneland in April 2024 final start for Godolphin; bought for 20,000gns struggled on yard debut in Naas handicap in October; 50-1, always at the back in the race won by Instant Appeal 12 days ago.
Won twice here at the start of the year; bounced back to form when winning 7f amateur handicap on the beach at Laytown in September; failed to feature after a slow start in a C&D handicap last month; better when fourth behind Instant Appeal last time.
Three-time course 1m winner; no further success since July 2023 turf win at Killarney; reappeared from long absence in June and took a while to find his form again; third on last two visits here, solid display behind Instant Appeal on latest.
Seven-time winner and runner-up in 2022 Commonwealth Cup at Royal Ascot; peak RPR 115, peak official rating 113, runs off 30lb lower; never a factor on first start for Ado McGuinness over 7f at the Curragh; last month's close-up fourth over C&D offers hope; first time with cheekpieces.
Two C&D wins over 6f; won over 5f on turf in October, holding his form at this venue; has an edge over Mehman on running here last Friday; one of three runners for Ado McGuinness.
