Smart sort on his day but hasn't won since 2022; highly tried last season, his best run a 0.5l second in listed company at Tipperary (5f, yielding); won his last start in handicap company but was 8lb lower then and would probably prefer better ground.

One of three for yard; loves it here, as is evidenced by his three C&D victories; returns to action 6lb above his last win and has tended to improve for his seasonal reappearances in the past so might need this but can't totally discount given his liking for this venue.

Won a 3yo maiden at Saint-Cloud (7f, gd-sft) last year for Andre Fabre; subsequently placed in a 6f listed heat at Deauville (good), running to an RPR of 99; bought for 10,000 euros at Arqana Deauville sale in November; interesting recruit but trip and ground queries for Irish debut.

Enjoyed a fruitful campaign last year with three wins, including here over 6f on her seasonal return; also won the Joe McGrath off 83 over C&D and ended the season rated 89; will need a career best here but goes well fresh and dangerous to dismiss.

Two-time course winner including a Group 3 in 2023 and the Scurry handicap last year off 2lb higher; well beaten on seasonal return here (6f, heavy) behind Dmaniac; should strip fitter now but probably best over a bit further these days.
