Form & Verdict
Very smart front-runner when he gets his own way up front, as seen over C&D on his penultimate start when gaining his fifth course win; any ease in the ground is in his favour and while not as good at Fairyhouse last time, he warrants respect back here.

J: Cian MacRedmond

High class horse at his best, once had a rating of 110; nothing like the horse he was but has found plenty of excuses not to win as well; first time in claiming company.

Has won two of his last four starts, both of those wins in claimers; ran okay back in a handicap at Cork on Wednesday when fourth having tried to make all; needs to build on that now.

On a long losing run since gaining his sixth career win in a Limerick claimer in 2023; not beaten far in four 2025 outings; suffered interference in the early stages when well fancied at Gowran last time; potentially interesting with a top apprentice booked.

Form & Verdict
Bounced back to form out of nowhere when getting the better of Verhoyen in a C&D soft ground handicap 60 days ago; slight concern she's not been seen since and soft ground could be the key to her; 3lb wrong.
