Big Gossey
Has done the majority of his turf racing at the Curragh; brought his tally at that venue to 7-38 when landing a 7f conditions event in October; 2-18 at this venue, a 5f maiden in 2019 and a 6f handicap four years ago; has persuasive credentials on last season's Group 3/Listed form; slight reservations about his ability to produce his best form on this surface.

Harry's Bar
Has 15 AW wins to his name, including eight at this venue but none since October 2023; did well to get within 3/4l of Valiant Force over 5f here in October; now meets that rival on 7lb worse than current handicap terms; stable in form; new headgear combination.

Valiant Force
150-1 Norfolk Stakes winner in 2023; top-class form when chasing home Big Evs in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Sprint; struggled at Pattern level after returning from a spell in America; gained a confidence-boosting win when beating Harry's Bar in a 5f conditions event here in October; backed that up with a creditable Group 3 fourth over 5f here.
