Form & Verdict

10-1 winner at Downpatrick over just shy of three miles in May; difficult to explain a couple of modest efforts both over fences and hurdles in the interim and whilst good enough to make a race of it, he is not one to put a huge amount of faith in a big risky.

Form & Verdict

Ridden patiently at Wexford, coming from a fair way back when chasing home a big priced winner in the shape of Avec Espoir; gives the impression she needs a test and could well get her wish here; big shout in any case and is afforded the utmost respect; favourites chance.

Form & Verdict

Had a huge task on his plate at Ballinrobe but it proved to be a nice piece of placing which resulted in a sound third; now in his veteran years but clearly retains plenty of sparkle, although late in his career for the step up in trip (never beyond 2.5m), but if he lasts it out, he could well stake a claim.
