Form & Verdict
Lightly raced 4yo won maiden here last summer on belated debut (6f, good) and much better form on seasonal return when fifth in Tipperary conditions over today's trip; back to near that form after a break (gelded) when making most in finishing third in Naas handicap last month; major player if handling the testing conditions.

Both wins have been at the Curragh over 6f-7f and in varying ground; solid efforts all three starts this year including over 6f at this track last week; the cheekpieces worn then are replaced by a tongue-tie; needs more on these terms.

Won a conditions race on heavy ground at the Curragh (7f) last October; out of the frame in conditions race at Gowran on seasonal return (7f, soft) and again when down the field in 6f Curragh handicap latest (6f, good); not well treated by race conditions here and cheekpieces now reached for.

Both wins have come here, notably minor conditions event (7f, heavy) last November; first run since when fourth of 5 in good-class Gowran conditions event last month; yard going well but 6f on decent ground may prove on the lively side.

0-14 but has gone close at times; good run from a wide draw in a 7f Leopardstown (yielding to soft) contest, staying on well; another positive effort when third in a Limerick maiden in this headgear latest (1m, yielding); slowly away that day so effort can be marked up; not out of it.

4 yo Colt

Form & Verdict
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.

Well backed when winning a Navan fillies' maiden on her debut last September (1m, good); flopped on heavy going on her only other start last year and sold out of Dermot Weld's stable for 190,000euros in February; likely there is more in the tank and stable won this race 12 months ago (with a 3yo).
