Record of 3-52; in first-time cheekpieces when successful at Naas in July (1m, good) and similar form when a close seventh next time (7f); last run needs forgiving but he has a big effort in him. |

C&D winner has shaped as though turn was near the last twice; beaten a head by Movin And Groovin over C&D on penultimate off 2lb lower and beaten 1.25l when second of 18 at Naas (1m, good) on latest; should be thereabouts again. |

A 1-22 turf record is worrying; however, he holds a good chance if reproducing the form of recent Dundalk second, which gives him an edge over Akashaa (sixth). |

Hold-up performer by necessity, really, as he can be tardy from the gates; C&D winner and just failed to get up here in April; only 1lb higher now and if they go hard, it will be a big help. |

Only win and runner-up effort of her 26-race career have come at this track; landed 7f handicap off 7lb higher here in September 2024 and was second over 6f 13 months ago; largely out of form since but was only beaten 5l at Naas 23 days ago; dangerous off a basement mark and can't dismiss at her favourite track. |
