Form & Verdict
Dual-purpose performer's sole win came over C&D off 64 in April 2024; hasn't been at his best on the Flat or over hurdles of late, too keen on return from 7 months absence here 12 days ago over 1m4f; more expected of on the back of that with hood re-applied and back in trip (good draw too).

Front-runner is 1-28 under rules (the win coming on AW in 2024) and was disappointing at Dundalk when last seen; 0-5 over hurdles, with his best effort a 14.5l fifth behind subsequent Grade 1 winner Koktail Divin at Leopardstown (2m4f, yielding); probably flattered by that placing, but it's interesting that Jack Kennedy takes the ride (2-5 riding for this trainer).

Rising Sky, Kartayaz

Verdict

A good third in the fog over C&D a fortnight ago, TERO D’ROSA can confirm that form with Celtic Druid and Rising Sky, the form having since been franked by the fourth home winning. A bold effort from top-weight Jazz Forever wouldn’t surprise, despite finishing last on his comeback run here recently, while Aingeal Dorcha is a potential improver now belatedly tried on the AW.
