'Passed stacks of rivals for 4th in the Irish Cesarewitch (nearly 2m1f, good); widest draw'
'Strong late challenge won a big-field Flat handicap at Naas (2m, yielding) last autumn'
'Five races; tricky to restrain when front-running 4th in the Chester Cup; has wide draw'

'Strength of stamina took him to the front in the final 1f of Chester Cup (2m2mf, good)'
'Ran well on return but not since; latest again failed to prove he stays 2m; headgear today'
'Won hot staying handicaps on all three visits to Britain last year; highly respected'
'Beaten on the nod on first run (1m4f) for new yard and has major potential as a stayer'
'Seemingly has work to do off opening Flat mark but going further than 1m6f should suit him'
'4yo, only six races; first go at 2m was slowly run Group 3 (last of four); handicap debut'
'Another bold show may well be on its way after improved efforts in 2m Goodwood handicaps'
'Raced freely upped to 1m6f latest but also stuck to his task well to give hope for 2m+'

'7-13 in handicaps; mighty close in the 2024 Cesarewitch and won at Goodwood latest start'

'A top juvenile hurdler and his trainer usually picks the right candidates for these races'
'Won Flat return; up 7lb and into a much stronger race but could have plenty more to offer'
'Second, first and third in the last three Chester Cups; not far away in this race in 2023'
'Lightly raced 5yo; 2m4f interesting and he holds possibilities if latest run is forgiven'
