Promise over C&D in the spring; the visor has sharpened him and got the job done nicely here in August; now 8lb higher, but yard in form and has to enter calculations again. |

Is 0-7 but produced his best run yet when a 0.5l second of 12 in first-time visor (retained) at Sligo (6f, yielding) 24 days ago; nudged up 2lb but seems to act on most ground and rider takes off valuable 7lb; shortlisted. |

Placed in maidens for Paddy Twomey; came back from over a year off on her stable debut to win a handicap over this trip at Leopardstown last month; unable to match that dropped back to 6f at Navan a week later, where she might well have bounced; the choice of Billy Lee and should do much better with the stable in cracking form. |

Has turned the corner with two quick 6f wins under this rider last week; was 5lb well-in when winning here a week ago (heavily backed); travelled well just behind the speed then, so maybe 5f will be okay given the form he's in at present, and well drawn for the hat-trick bid. |
