9st 5lb |
Record of 2-42 (1-28 on turf); didn't look like a winner in waiting during a winter AW campaign and below-par again on return to the turf at Navan (6f, heavy); 5f more suitable but needs a revival. |

Hard to win with, as illustrated by 2-41 record; won 5f Dundalk handicap off 73 in December 2024; now down to 52, having been regressive since second in a claimer last summer; needs to step up on recent Dundalk form. |

Prolific AW performer gained a first turf success in emphatic fashion at Navan on latest (5f, gd-yld) under this rider, making virtually all for a 2.25l win; this longer trip fine but raised 10lb and this is a tougher race. |

Nine AW wins but is a maiden on turf after 18 runs; however, he ran a cracker on soft ground at Bellewstown last time and this drying surface should suit better; a squeak. |

Narrowly failed when beaten 1l into fourth at Navan in October but just prevailed when landing C&D maiden last month; opening mark is high enough and an outside draw won't help his usual positive tactics, but respected nonetheless. |

Four AW wins over this trip this year, including two around here; had Sporting Hero back in third for latest success when making every post a winning one; 3lb better off at the weights with that rival now despite the 6lb hike so could still be well treated; first-time blinkers. |
