Came good when well-backed favourite in C&D nursery in October, his first start on this surface; could well have more to offer and big chance of a follow-up here. |

Promise on turf early last season and was only narrowly denied in a handicap on AW in October; not as good back in a maiden last time when too keen and has been off 169 days but not discounted. |

9st 12lb |
Most recent of her six wins gained at Laytown last September; began the new campaign with a neck second over 7f at Dundalk; has failed to reproduce that form in two subsequent appearances and is now dropped in trip; placed only once from nine Navan runs. |

Most recent of her six wins gained at Laytown last September; 1-17 at this venue; given plenty to do finishing strongly for neck second last month, with Alex Belardo 2l back in fourth; that rival turned the tables on her two weeks ago. |

One of two for yard; most recent of her six wins gained at Laytown in September; given plenty to do when thundering home to finish a neck second here (7f) on latest; player up in trip but wide draw to overcome. |

Fast out of the gates over 7f at Roscommon latest and shaped as though a drop in trip would suit; will need the same gate speed from this draw and has decent claims if she gets home. |

Pick of juvenile form came on heavy ground when third in a 7f Cork maiden; opening handicap effort last month at Gowran was okay but others look better handicapped here and possible ground concerns. |

Pick of juvenile form came on heavy ground when third in a 7f Cork maiden, a short head in front of today's rival Pigeon House; two subsequent runs below that level; should be better for his run in a 1m maiden at Navan three weeks ago. |

19th Sep 2024 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |

Overcame trouble in running to win the corresponding race 12 months ago off an 8lb higher mark (then trained by Alice Haynes); patchy record for new stable but his best run for them came over C&D and Tom Queally's only ride for the stable in 2024 (before this evening) finished second; can go well. |

14th Sep 2023 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Off the mark in a 5.5f Bath handicap in June (firm) during a short tenure with Mick Appleby, and almost cashed in his lower mark on synthetics at Kempton latest (6f; stable debut), but mixed messages previously as to whether he truly stays 7f; jockey rode first double on Monday night. |
4/1 |

2nd 3 (2) |
30th Aug 2023 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Ex-Irish 3yo who won one of his three runs for Mick Appleby, a fast-ground Bath handicap over their extended 5f; best form is on turf but a lower AW rating heightens interest on stable debut (bought for 10,000gns). |
5/1 |
|
4th 1 (2) |
4th Jul 2023 Good 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
10st 1lb |
Off the mark at the 12th attempt (second for this yard) when keeping on well to win a 5.5f handicap at Bath last week; has form over this longer trip but he'll need further progress if he's to defy a 6lb penalty. |
3/1 |
