Form & Verdict

All five runs have been here, scoring three times including 1m4f rated race last month and 2m handicap three weeks ago; forward runner could be the pace angle here but fair bit to find with stablemate Dallas Star on ratings and drop in trip not in his favour.

Form & Verdict

Prolific winner here, most recently in handicap over this trip in December off much reduced mark; inadequate trip last time so more expected back to ideal distance.

Form & Verdict

Won here as a 2yo and progressive last year, winning 1m2f Fairyhouse handicap, ran above his mark when a close third in the Vinnie Roe Stakes and on final start finished a creditable fifth of 22 in Leopardstown premier handicap in September; drop back in trip here for seasonal return probably not ideal.
