Form & Verdict
Best effort in maidens came on final start last year when mid-division on easy ground; failed to build on that promise on handicap debut over 5f at Naas last month; not disgraced over 6f at the Curragh 12 days ago, had a brief spell in the lead over a furlong out before fading.

Third runner for yard; best form has come over this trip on soft ground, winning at Bellewstown last autumn; fine efforts back there and at Cork this season; drying ground isn't in her favour.

Form & Verdict
Modest form on turf on his first four starts, including when 14th of 16 in a nursery at the Curragh last September; different proposition when switched to AW; fourth in a nursery over this trip on his first Dundalk run, and improved again when scoring over 6f in November; runner-up over 7f in November and again over 6f in January.

J: Billy Loughnane

T: Ollie Sangster

Made all to win a 6f handicap at Wolverhampton nine days ago; had form at this trip in Ireland and he comes here in preference to an intended Wolverhampton run on Tuesday; suspicion remains that he's likely to prove a cut above this level.

Two creditable 5f efforts for this yard, including here, and he continues to edge down the weights; likely to be in the thick of it back at 6f.

Form & Verdict
Best of his three maiden runs when seventh of 17 over 7f at Dundalk on his second start; finished with only two behind him on handicap debut in 11-runner 7f event at Cork; shorter trip not guaranteed to produce improvement.
