Form & Verdict
Relished testing conditions on second maiden start to win over extended 1m at Galway festival (second and third have both won recently), getting up late: opening mark on the high side but longer trip seems likely to bring further improvement and blinkers now fitted.

Form & Verdict
Progressive handicapper, especially on soft ground, winning here (1m) and chasing home a smart type at Navan over 1m2f; not quite at that level upped to 1m4f last twice, although second to an improver at Thurles was no disgrace; back to probably his optimum trip with ground to suit so has his chance.

Some good form at this trip over the summer and better again when upped in trip to win over 1m6f at Listowel on soft and good Down Royal third when cheekpieces added; progressive and handles these conditions but ideally may want more of a stamina test.

Form & Verdict
Runaway Down Royal maiden winner didn't do himself justice when raised in class but bounced back to form (having been gelded) when dropped to this trip in Curragh handicap on Thursday, winning with some authority having travelled strongly throughout in testing conditions; claimer now booked to offset mandatory 7lb penalty and big player.

Nicely progressive once upped to 1m2f, winning Roscommon handicap and made plenty of use of at the Curragh when third in competitive contest; didn't appear to stay 1m4f in testing conditions at Bellewtown however, having forced the pace; back in trip here and respected although ground concerns remain.

Modest 2-26 strike-rate and refused to race once in the autumn; however, he's often run well in competitive races, as when third of 19 at York (1m, good) last July and was hampered next time; creditable return for new yard at Redcar (first-time hood, cheekpieces now refitted) this month; involved.

Successful twice (1m2f/1m) in Ireland earlier in his career; talented but failed to win in 14 starts for Iain Jardine, including refusing to race on his penultimate outing last year; it's possible a change of stable (same owner) could spark a revival but a watching brief is still the percentage call here; hooded first time.
