Model of consistency on turf last summer, when his form included two Curragh placings over 6f; subsequently won over today's trip on Dundalk AW; recent Curragh comeback run should have brought him on so worth considering. |

Notched a third career win when making all on seasonal return over 6f at the Curragh in March (heavy) but just fair efforts twice since at same venue; yet to win over this far and best form on easier ground so would welcome rain. |

14-race maiden has run some solid races in defeat, including third of 15 in a 7f fillies' handicap at this venue a year ago; third over 1m at Dundalk in March was encouraging; below her best with a hood fitted (discarded now) at Leopardstown last month. |

Went up an aggregate 21lb for three handicap wins last season; seemed to be improving when second at Limerick in April, beaten only a nose; Curragh run eight days ago (17th of 19) was too bad to be true; 7-2 chance then, interesting to see if the market is prepared to overlook that showing. |
