Hat-trick of 7f Polytrack wins for Gordon Elliott last winter but well below that level on turf since; modest form on AW for new yard and has plenty to prove at present.

J: Billy Loughnane

T: Sean Curran

Four-time AW winner who won by 4l in a Wolverhampton claimer (7f, Tapeta) in January and has run respectably back in two handicaps (1m/7f) this spring; looks the pick of the weights now back in a claimer and his last success was under Billy Loughnane; big player.

J: Adam Kirby

Three-time Dundalk winner who's weighted to his best but ran better than his final position back from a break last time (drawn wide over 1m and pulled hard in a race not run to suit); is one to consider back down in trip.

J: Jack Mitchell

T: Sean Curran

Reeled off a 7f hat-trick at Dundalk for Gordon Elliott last winter; slow start for new yard but he ran out the easy winner of a 7f claimer at Wolverhampton in January; no certainty to back that up in a much stronger race.

Form & Verdict
In really good form at Lingfield recently, winning handicaps over 7f and 1m before showing better form in defeat since; has something to find on these terms but is still hard to write off in his current form.

Has been out of form since Roscommon win last August; better ground may prompt a revival; however, Methgal is a more obvious contender for the stable.

Looked very promising on AW early in his career; left the impression he retained ability on his return from a mammoth absence at Kempton four weeks ago, tiring badly in the final furlong but not helped by having taken a very strong hold early on; quite possible he will last longer today.
