'Likes this track but has never won at beyond 1m and is 6lb above his highest winning mark.'

'Going beyond 1m1f for the first time; in fine form and beat three of these last time out.'

'In good form and 6lb better off for 1.5l course defeat by Fallon; lesser effort last time.'

'Dual C&D winner; has been placed over slightly shorter the last twice; has solid claims.'

'Has shown little and been dropped 16lb since arrival from Brazil; up from 1m.'

'Won off 32lb higher mark two years ago, winless since; little evidence of return to form.'

'Yet to reproduce good European form in two local tries; step up from 1m/1m1f should help.'

'On a 22-race losing sequence; down in class; unplaced in his last 14 attempts.'

'Two modest local efforts thus far; yet to show the talent he did when trained in Ireland.'

'High class in South Africa; has been unfancied and run moderately in both local starts.'
