9st 2lb |
Finished last on his final two starts last season; same fate on first outing this term; produced massive improvement when going close over C&D late last month; not as effective on soft ground at Gowran last Sunday; quick reappearance implies he can do better. |

Eight-race maiden is 0-5 on turf; best effort came over C&D last June in a maiden (good) in first time cheekpieces; finished last on return at Naas but could come on for that and now tries a visor; could go well at a price. |

One of two for trainer; three-time winner here, the latest over C&D in December off 48; didn't get the best of runs when unplaced here in February (5f) and raced wide when weakened into ninth of 11 last time (6f); can do better. |

Added to her two 6f wins here when taking a C&D handicap last time by a neck; up 5lb for that win, and has never won from a mark this high; should give a good account of herself all the same; declared for the 2.08 here on Wednesday. |

Couple of seconds this year but over 7f and questionable whether he wants 6f; slower ground would help in that respect. |

Now a 19-race maiden but has finished second in 7f handicaps this term here (heavy) and last month at Limerick on good ground; trip too short last time so not one to rule out back at 7f with blinkers tried. |

5f winner in Britain two seasons ago; a long way below his best on his last four starts last year and a Gowran claimer on reappearance; seems most effective at 6f, though was placed over this trip on AW last year; first time with cheekpieces. |
