The going is Good To Firm.
No specific going preferences noted for the runners.
Run over various distances of late and the experimenting continues, with cheekpieces replaced by a first-time tongue-tie and first-time blinkers; achieved little in three runs on fast turf, so comes with risks attached.
Dual 6f winner last year who's shown enough in two runs back from a second round of wind surgery, including on his first crack at this trip last time, to suggest this mark is within range; not yet fully exposed.
Went close off a 3lb higher mark over C&D in May and returned to that sort of level last time; often dropped in but is adaptable regarding tactics and knows how to win.
Three wins last summer, including over C&D, all came off lower marks and he arrives off the back of two below-par efforts; suspicion remains that a stiffer 5f is optimal and he needs to bounce back.
Decent 2yo for Ed Dunlop; proved hard to place last year; no signs of a revival in two runs back this time.
