Form & Verdict
Bar one below par run at Galway, which probably came too soon, this colt has progressed well in handicaps; has won two of his last three, scoring by a neck off 77 at Down Royal (1m5f, yielding) latest; rated 85, has won on soft and should cope with this drop in trip.

Scored off 66 at the Galway festival (1m4f, soft) in July and 11lb higher now; run may have come too soon when down the field over 1m6f there the following day; freshened up and could bounce back.

Form & Verdict
79-rated gelding won twice in June at Cork and Leopardstown, both over 1m on nice ground; midfield on soft to heavy at the Curragh latest (1m) and has hinted that this sort of trip might suit, though he's not bred for it.

Has enjoyed a fine campaign; back to back wins in June saw him go up 13lb but he has continued to acquit himself well; another sound run in a Killarney rated race latest (1m, good); probably doesn't want it too soft.

Both wins on goodish ground but versatile as regards conditions as it was yielding to soft when second in a 1m handicap at Galway where three of today's rivals were behind; came from well off the pace that day so it was some effort.

Form & Verdict
0-4 on turf but has posted some solid efforts in defeat and is rated 87; carried head high when beaten 3.5l into third at Fairyhouse latest (1m2f, good); has been a non-runner on account of heavy before so testing conditions a big concern.

Couple of good runs in quality 2yo maidens but didn't match that level in five runs last season; may improve now switched to handicaps.

Couple of good runs in quality 2yo maidens but below that level in three runs this term, last two over 1m2f; blinkers replace cheekpieces here and drop in trip may suit but ground a concern (withdrawn on similar at this meeting last year).

First two runs for Charles Hills were decent, both at 7f on good to firm; soundly beaten off 72 on handicap and stable debut at Punchestown (1m, gd-yld); huge improvement required stepped up in trip in first-time hood.
