J: Dylan Browne McMonagle

T: Joseph Patrick O’Brien

Dual winner on a sound surface when trained by Donnacha O'Brien; consistent enough in defeat since joining this yard, although tends to leave it too late before getting involved; drop back to 7f probably not ideal but handicapper's grip is softening.

Won twice when with Donnacha O'Brien and was beaten a head in a C&D maiden for him; has met trouble in running more than once for this yard, including on latest at Galway (behind Monasterboice); may need more help from the handicapper but conditions should suit and he can't be discounted.

Off the mark in a Cork maiden a year ago and came on from his return when beaten roughly 6l at Killarney last time; just his fifth career start but has a fair amount to find on form.

Back to his best when runner-up on return at Naas but not near that level in two runs since; would have claims if he could bounce back but best form is over a bit further.

C&D winner in 2023 three turf wins; light campaign this year but encouraging signs over C&D on latest when creditable fourth (1.5l off Star Harbour) in August; little bit to find with that rival, who has since gone close.

Won this in 2023 and scored on turf last year; has to improve on recent runs but is now 3lb lower than for that last score so has to be considered from a good draw.

Form & Verdict
All five wins have come on AW but just as effective on turf; ran a big race in a Group 2 at Meydan (1m1f) in February when beaten 2l by Lord Glitters and he would be a player if he was at that sort of level; not seen since he was below par at Newcastle in April but may be worth forgiving that run.
