Best run in maidens an 8l second of 16 at Naas in December (2m3f, sft-hvy); handled quicker ground when a 4.75l third in second handicap start at Cork (24.5f, good) 16 days ago; this shorter trip will suit on the evidence of that run; in the mix.

Best maiden effort an 8l third at Naas (2m3f, sft-hvy) when shaped as though further would suit; pulled up on handicap debut at Thurles (2m7f, soft) in November; capable of better but good ground a query.

J: Eoin Staples

Lightly raced 5yo who finished strongly for second in a 2m3f maiden at Naas in December (soft to heavy); this longer trip for handicap debut should suit when the dam is a half-sister to Many Clouds; shortlisted with Eoin Staples a positive booking.

Mild promise in point-to-points earlier this year; bought for E26,000 in April after an 11.5l fourth at Ballyknock; from a good family (dam half-sister to Many Clouds) but that form is modest and he is probably best watched on Rules' debut.
