Form & Verdict
Signed off for 2025 with a Dundalk win after several promising efforts; good chance here, though worth bearing in mind he was a beaten favourite three times on the AW before his breakthrough success; an unknown quantity on the prevailing soft ground; Sam Coen's claim a help.

0-10; best form on soft and heavy ground; ran well in C&D claimer last month (soft) and again in a Bellewstown handicap (1m, soft) on penultimate but poor on quicker ground at Ballinrobe latest; rain would boost chance.

Good fourth on handicap debut at Gowran last October (7f, heavy); kept on from the back for a 5.75l third of 13 at Bellewstown (1m, soft) latest; previously ran well in 1m Gowran claimer; worth another go at this sort of trip on the evidence of that effort; rain a plus.

Form & Verdict
Well held in two strong turf maidens last term; Cork race in which she was 13l seventh of 11 was won by subsequent dual Group 1 winner Precise; should be better for a run in a 6f maiden at Dundalk and this trip should be more suitable; interesting in this grade with Julian Pietropaolo claiming 7lb.

Well beaten in opening three runs here; he sprang a surprise in a 6f three-runner contest last time when landing it as the outsider sporting first-time blinkers and tongue-tie (retained); his mark looks fair for handicap debut, while the step up in trip should be no problem; capable claimer reduces burden as well; big player.
