Form & Verdict
Beaten five times and it was a modest maiden in which he was only fifth at Killarney last week (1m, heavy); that came on the back of a 10l defeat so he's not progressing.

Four-time winner who is 2-3 over C&D, but he was only sixth of 11 here (7f, soft) three weeks ago; had some traffic issues in that race but he's not easy to predict and others are more persuasive.

Won this race last year off 4lb lower and made it 2-2 at the track in May, again on good ground (won his Irish maiden on soft); held in classy handicaps since then (behind Brian two runs ago) and he's hardly thrown in, but course record commands respect.

Form & Verdict
Hasn't built on his promising debut at Leopardstown (1m, heavy) but was reportedly unsuited by Galway and he went off 5-4 favourite at Curragh two weeks ago when behind Silent Guardian; that was a puzzling run but clearly has the ability to threaten.

Ex-Irish maiden who has been essentially regressive for current stable; ended up tailed off (bled from nose) last time; perhaps best watched unless the market suggests a turnaround is likely.

Ex-Irish maiden who has been essentially regressive, over 7f/1m in a hood, for current stable; however, pedigree suggests this return to 1m2f is worth exploring; headgear is removed; resurgence is possible.

Third on Cork debut (1m) and improved again when closer at the Curragh (1m2f, good), finishing fourth of 18; didn't appear to get home on that latter occasion and looks quick enough for this shorter trip.
