Free Speech (M)
Back-to-back winner in 2024 for Ed Dunlop and now on that last successful mark. Shaped quite well on stable debut at Newcastle 17 days ago, finishing with running left and she's of interest eased slightly in grade.

Romantic Spirit (F)
Four-time winner in 2025. Unable to meet market expectations both starts in 2026 and now goes up in trip with Oisin Murphy taking over.

Kelly Burn (F)
Promising individual who took form to a new level when very good second of 7 over C&D 42 days ago. Split next-time-out winners in the process and she looks leniently treated from 2 lb higher.
