Mainly kept to AW at 2, winning Wolverhampton maiden on debut and went close in a Dundalk nursery; gelded following comeback run in July and much improved third at Leopardstown last month under a positive ride (7f, good-to-yielding); unchanged mark and can go well if handling the conditions; unplaced at Roscommon on Tuesday (5.55).

Expensive breeze-up purchase won AW maiden and second in AW nursery; improved from seasonal debut when third over 7f at Leopardstown, only beaten a length having led from halfway; up in grade here, so needs to find more, and unproven on easy ground if rain comes.

J: Jamie Powell

T: M D O’Callaghan

Breeze-up purchase cost £205,000; justified favouritism on debut at Wolverhampton (6f); failed to build on that in two subsequent outings in Britain; runner-up on the second of two Dundalk nursery outings; may improve from his turf/seasonal debut at Naas last month; second reserve.

Breeze-up purchase cost £205,000; justified favouritism on debut at Wolverhampton (6f); failed to build in two subsequent outings in Britain, including when highly tried in a Group 3 event at Kempton; runner-up on the second of two Dundalk nursery outings; could be well primed for return.

J: Dylan Browne McMonagle

T: M D O’Callaghan

Breeze-up purchase cost £205,000; justified favouritism when winning on debut at Wolverhampton (6f); disappointed in Newcastle novice next start; finished last in Kempton Group 3 last month; market will reveal expectations on nursery debut but drawn widest of all.
