Started the season brightly when fifth at Cork, just in front of today's rival Metamorpheus; form of that race well advertised by fourth-placed Deuteronomy; had a valid excuse at Gowran a month ago, since he stumbled badly in the early stages. |

28th Jun 2023 Good 1m 0f 0y |
9st 8lb |
Last year's third in a 20-runner Curragh maiden won by Paddington reads exceptionally well in the light of the winner's Group 1 exploits this season; however; he has failed to build on that in two subsequent runs; tongue-tie tried now following disappointing handicap debut at Leopardstown. |

Curragh maiden third last autumn and probably a similar level of form on seasonal return when third in Cork handicap at Easter on heavy; withdrawn on good ground at Tipperary last month so that has to be a question; hood tried here. |

Curragh maiden third last autumn and probably a similar level of form on seasonal return when third in Cork handicap last month on heavy; contrasting ground conditions here but should handle them, this trip probably the limit of his stamina. |

Showed some ability on the Flat in Ireland but she's been well held in five hurdle runs for current yard, including since switched to handicaps; out of the weights and needs the first-time blinkers to turn things around. |

Has won both races since the tongue-tie joined cheekpieces, latterly making all for a narrow success over C&D three weeks ago (good); a 5lb rise isn't the end of the world but dominating this bigger field with likely pressure up front could be challenging. |

Posted personal best in first-time tongue-strap five weeks ago, making all in four-runner race at Newcastle (2m1f, good to soft); that was his fourth hurdles win, and with more improvement possible he should go well again. |

Dual 1m6f AW winner at Wolverhampton this year, both times under Zoe Lewis; did not enjoy run of the race when well-held third there 18 days ago and also has form over this C&D; probably won't be far away. |

A few near-misses over C&D off higher marks since coming over from Ireland and didn't run badly on turf last time, when done for toe over 5f back from a break; wouldn't be a shock were he to pop up despite the wide stall. |
