Regal Envoy (IRE)
J: Jonny Peate · T: W J Knight
Regal Envoy has shown glimpses of ability and could benefit from the apprentice allowance. Trainer W J Knight often targets these types of races effectively, and Jonny Peate is a competent apprentice.
Parisiac (IRE)
J: Shariq Mohd · T: Alice Haynes
Alice Haynes's stable is in good form, and Parisiac has been running consistently. Shariq Mohd's claim could bring this horse into contention for a place.
Mart
J: Morgan Cole · T: Dylan Cunha
Mart represents a stable that can improve horses, and while Morgan Cole is less experienced, the horse could surprise at a longer price if getting a good run.
