Highly tried at Listed level last season after winning his maiden here; the concern is a very laboured comeback run on handicap debut at Cork.

Lightly raced 4yo didn't debut until June last year, winning Killarney auction maiden on second start; contested 1m6f Listed races both subsequent starts, staying on fourth at Leopardstown and never landed a blow when beaten 5.5l at Ascot in October; drops to handicap company for seasonal return and has to be respected.

Made debut in June; 4-6 winner of a Killarney auction maiden (11.3f, yielding to soft) in July and built on that when fourth of eight in Listed race at Leopardstown (1m6f, good; first-time cheekpieces) six weeks ago; started to make ground all too late in the latter and the headgear is now discarded; lightly raced, with strength in stamina, but big improvement is needed.

Half-brother to the talented Buckaroo made a very pleasing debut at Leopardstown (1m5f, good) when slow-starting third to Happy Pharoah and landed odds in 1m4f Killarney auction maiden following month, still looking green but never stronger than at finish; type to improve again and cheekpieces fitted here.

J: Dylan Browne McMonagle

Half-brother to the talented Buckaroo made a very pleasing debut at Leopardstown (1m5f, good) after missing the break badly; stayed on strongly for a 0.75l third so can't afford to be slowly away again over this shorter trip; big chance if he gets away on level terms.
