Is on a dangerous mark and it wasn't a bad effort on return from 419 days off at Bellewstown last month; should strip fitter now and has won twice at just short of this trip at Dundalk; not discounted. |

Decent operator at a level on turf and AW, his most recent win coming in a 1m2f Dundalk handicap in January last year; not seen since third in a Tipperary handicap 14 months ago; market may prove the best guide. |

Four Flat wins divided between turf and the AW; couldn't get going in time when a beaten favourite in latest AW claimer over 7f and returning to further should help; considered. |

10st 0lb |
Three wins here over 7f-1m but does stay this far and has multiple placed efforts over C&D; on a dangerous mark and a recent spin over hurdles at Wexford will have blown away any cobwebs; chance with rider taking off handy 7lb. |

20th Apr 2025 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Overcame a troubled passage when getting up late to win a 1m2f classified at Lingfield on second start for this yard but he just couldn't pick up over the shorter trip at Wolverhampton (about 1m) next time; unraced here but acts on Tapeta and remains of interest with more suitable test. |

Built upon encouraging stable debut (over C&D) when winning 1m2f Lingfield classified in refitted cheekpieces on Monday, opening his account at the 18th attempt; has 5lb penalty on this handicap return but still needs to be taken very seriously in current mood. |

Five-time winner, most recently at Naas last summer (yielding); good runs when last seen in June, close fourth at Leopardstown (1m1f, soft) and got up close home for second over today's C&D; back from a break with definite claims. |
