9st 3lb |
He has two impressive C&D wins on his record this winter; not at his best on his last two starts but he's not an easy horse to pass if breaking on terms; needs another personal best but it is not out of the question. |

On a career-high mark but is difficult to dismiss, having recorded a clearcut win from the front over C&D on penultimate start; awkwardly away and unable to dominate at Lingfield latest. |

Back to form with a bang when blitzing his rivals at Wolverhampton last week, setting strong fractions and coming home 3.25l in front; 3lb well in under a penalty and he is better drawn today than when widest of all at Wolverhampton; effective over C&D; obvious chance. |

All three wins for Kieran Cotter came at Cork (6f-1m) and ended last term with solid C&D fourth behind Unique Journey; dropped out to finish last on seasonal return at Cork early this month, a run which should bring him on. |

All three wins have come at this venue, twice over 6f, the other coming at 1m; liking for the track is enough to make him worth considering on stable/seasonal debut. |

Won first two starts for this yard here early last season, notably handicap over this trip; well held in good-class handicaps afterwards and two runs this term (having been gelded) in June were way below his best; back from a break but has run well fresh and handles testing conditions but hard to be confident in him running to this (reduced) mark. |

5yo who has had several different stables during his light career; well beaten at Galway last autumn on final two outings but he's well worth a second look today given he's 2-2 on AW, the latest of those wins coming over C&D last February; makes stable debut with new trainer's horses running well. |

Flat winner got off the mark immediately over hurdles when winning a Navan maiden hurdle last year (2m, heavy); well beaten in a Naas novice contest next time before some consistent Flat efforts; unseen since tailed off at Naas back over hurdles on final start for Michael O'Callaghan in November; needs to bring his best. |

Verdict
There’s a lot of dead wood here but the market principals are potentially useful. Follow Me sets the standard on his good French form and was recruited for 170,000euros by new connections but the Stack yard has two strong contenders in ECLIPSE EMERALD and Pansy Poe. The selection travelled like a good horse when second to a well-touted Ballydoyle newcomer on his debut here.[Alistair Jones]
