Form & Verdict
Weak form last season apart from Cork second over 5f in June; has changed stable and now makes AW debut; of some interest on account of being 16lb lower than after winning a 5f Cork maiden as a juvenile.

Three 6f wins on AW this year and he only narrowly failed to improve on a very modest turf strike-rate (now 1-35) when just touched off at Hamilton (5f, good) this month; no serious impact at Catterick (7f) since but ran well in headgear in Ireland and cheekpieces are now refitted.

Three 6f AW wins this year for new yard and short-headed at Hamilton (5f, good) eight days ago when back on turf; there can be optimism that he will be fine back up to 7f and he's a strong contender.

Only one win from 28 starts; placed in three of her nine races last year, and lost out by only a nose in an 18-runner contest at Fairyhouse in September; fair chance if she can run to that level on her first outing since a satisfactory Dundalk run in November.
