8/11
Very smart chaser. 1/8, didn't need to be at best when winning 5-runner minor event chase at Listowel (19f, good to soft) 62 days ago, hard held. Looks to have found another very good opportunity here.

9/4
Smart hurdler/chaser at peak but operating below his best since finishing third in the 2024 Galway Plate. Beaten 19 lengths when seventh in this year's renewal of that race on Wednesday but even a reproduction of that form would likely be enough to fill the forecast spot here.
