Form & Verdict
Narrowly denied over C&D before getting off the mark at the eighth attempt over 1m last month; didn't really shape like he wanted a return to shorter but he's in good form and a 6lb rise is fair.

J: Liam Keniry

T: D Donovan

Won at Wolverhampton (9.4f) in February and was good second at Chelmsford (1m2f) in April; well held at Kempton last month but he travelled smoothly for a long way and may have stretched stamina on that step up to 1m3f; now drops back in trip/grade and he's not ruled out.

Essentially holding form in defeat since February's gambled-on Wolverhampton success (9.5f), not for the first time shaping as if today's trip might be worth a go when a keeping-on second at Chelmsford latest (1m2f, had to wait for a run); still well treated on last year's peak Irish form.

Recorded third turf win earlier this month at Roscommon under positive ride from today's rider (1m4f, good), overcoming wide draw and having been hampered; 5lb rise takes her back to a near career-high mark so interesting to see if she can back that up.
