Likeable 3yo; won AW maiden last year; good fourth in hot Naas handicap over 1m before making most to beat in-form rival over 1m1f on probably unsuitably soft ground here; had that rival a little further back when fourth in 1m1f premier handicap at the Curragh, where missing a beat at the start proved costly in a race where the leaders didn't come back; takes on older horses for the first time.

Form & Verdict
Rapid improver of late, twice runner-up on AW last autumn and has reappeared for back-to-back wins in 1m handicaps at Limerick and when running away late on under today's rider here last month; every chance of staying this extra furlong and could still have more to offer despite 16lb rise for two wins.

Form & Verdict
Won Bellewstown maiden last year and decent second in Roscommon winners' contest, best efforts; encouraging comeback run in Madrid Handicap at Naas in late March, staying on late into fourth over inadequate 7f; step up in trip seems sure to suit and top-weight should go well.

Won a Bellewstown maiden last year (1m, good); okay return in the Madrid at Naas (7f, soft) in March; not as good upped to 1m1f on latest at Leopardstown (soft); drops back in trip now and visor goes on; could rebound on this sounder surface.

Last month's seasonal return here (1m) was okay but nothing to suggest he'll make an immediate impact in handicaps off this mark, albeit has to be respected from a yard having a great season.

Only his sixth race and the first over this far when nicely on top late on at Navan (good), accounting for a subsequent winner in the process; that was under a 5lb claimer and he's up 6lb, but looks a horse on the upgrade.

Raced keenly but finished a 1.5l third at Tramore on just his second handicap start 12 days ago (1m4f, gd-yld); will need to settle better if he is to see out this longer trip.

Bolger-bred Teofilo gelding; good fourth in a hot Curragh maiden last year; okay comeback over 1m at Leopardstown, and soft ground probably the reason for a poor display on handicap debut at same track; gelded since and steps up in trip here.

Form & Verdict
Cheaply bought Time Test colt showed fair form in three outings late last season, latter two in good-class Curragh maidens when intimating a step up in trip would suit; lack of a recent run a concern here on seasonal return and handicap debut.
