Has been a fine servant over the years, winning five times here, including his first success at this trip last time; has to defy a 6lb rise but still respected. |

Fifth for the fourth race on the spin over 1m here a fortnight ago and shaped like a return to 7f would be fine last time; eased another 1lb and has a much better draw this time. |

Some promising efforts towards the end of last term shortly after joining this yard but poor form so far this season; best form on AW and best turf effort came on good. |

5th Feb 2024 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Ex-Irish; strike-rate of 1-38 is offputting (0-19 on the AW) but he was a close fourth at Newcastle last time (7f); could run into a place. |

1-36; with Peter Fahey when notching that sole win in a 1m apprentice handicap at Gowran Park in the summer of 2022; a bit better on third start for Tony Coyle at Southwell (1m, classified; sixth of 11; 18-1) last week. |

6th 7 (2) |
10th Feb 2023 Standard 1m 0f 0y |

Not beaten far in two of his three starts in maidens at this venue; might come on for his latest run over 7f and the handicapper has taken a chance with an opening mark of 57. |

AW winner and last of two turf wins came in May 2022 off 58; okay runs of late over 1m1f, not one to rule out with talented rider's claim and drop back to 1m to suit. |
8/1 |

26th Jul 2025 Good To Yielding 1m 1f 110y |

AW winner and last of two turf wins came over C&D in May 2022 off 58; definite promise in recent Leopardstown flat return so worth consideration. |

Won a maiden claimer on the Flat at Bellewstown last September, moderate form at Dundalk since then; lacks hurdling experience. |

Struggled since winning a maiden claimer at Bellewstown in September; beaten 7l here last month and while the step back up in trip will suit, others look more convincing at present. |

8st 11lb |
Dual course winner at 1m off higher marks than this; weakened into an 8l seventh when last seen here in January over C&D; 3lb wrong but on a dangerous mark if returning to form. |

Dual course winner at 1m off higher marks than this; hung left when beaten 6l over C&D on latest (hampered); lurking on a dangerous mark and can't be fully discounted. |

Bounced back from some poor efforts when winning gaining a second C&D win three weeks ago; 6lb higher mark is fine and the inside stall is ideal given that she can make the running. |
3/1 |

1st 10 (9) |
20th Jan 2023 Standard 1m 0f 0y |
