Three Dundalk wins up to 1m4f and some decent efforts in defeat over the winter season; towards the rear in a 1m2f Navan handicap in April; two undistinguished juvenile hurdle runs; plenty to prove against that background.

Maiden was beaten a long way over 7f last time at Leopardstown and while he doesn't hold that much appeal can do better over this trip.

Won a 7f Laytown maiden last year but stays this trip too; poor at Dundalk last winter and brought down halfway at Bellewstown on return; looks vulnerable off this mark.

Back to form at Navan on penultimate (1m, good) and another good run over 7f at Laytown last week when a 0.5l second of 10; mark left unchanged and should give another good account upped slightly in trip with rider taking off 5lb.

Local runner whose sole success came in a 7f maiden here last year; best run since a close third at Navan on latest and eased 1lb for that; Colin Keane an eyecatching booking; big run on the cards.

Dual-purpose; won a bumper at Roscommon last summer (2m, good) and ran a nice race on second start over hurdles at Kilbeggan (2m3f, good) last month; didn't shape like she wanted further that day, however, so others preferred.

Hit the crossbar over an extended 1m2f at Naas (good to yielding) on handicap debut off 2lb higher; reasonable effort back in a maiden at Gowran next time when fourth; the heavy ground was perhaps not to his liking when last seen at Gowran when 23l behind; chance.

Didn't show much in opening two maidens but getting the hang of things since, finishing fifth of 11 in a 1m Limerick maiden before hitting the crossbar over extended 1m2f at Naas on handicap debut; another reasonable maiden run over C&D last time; tongue-tie on now and he is appealing.
